And bulbs galore all still to be planted Alliums x 75 (all colours), dwarf iris x 150 (want these for front and back), coneflowers (3 x white and 3 x pink) globe thistles x 3,(blue) sea holly x 3 (blue), veronica x 3 (purple).

I love bulbs mostly because you get much for your money. The above bulbs cost me a £15
Me too! I just got an e-mail confirmation that some of mine are coming Tuesday: hardy miniature glads and acidanthera! Hope it will be planting weather....
