Here's a nifty idea for re-using loo roll cardboard, seen during a visit to a Yorkshire garden on Saturday

My wife's school uses two litre milk cartons cut out in the shape of scoops for scraping up compost off benches in the class room. http://www.growsonyou.com/photo/slideshow/259124-making-a-scoop-from-a-plastic-milk-bottle (http://www.growsonyou.com/photo/slideshow/259124-making-a-scoop-from-a-plastic-milk-bottle)

Here in New Zealand you can't buy anything for the listed price in cash as they are all $**.99 or $**.56 etc and the smallest coin is 10c. I usually use my debit card (called an EFTPOS card here) if the bill comes to more than $**.55 as the cost is rounded up for cash.  ;D
