Plastic Bag sealer
I've been buying poo bags to dispose of my cat's "gifts" (from all exits), but pondering that I could use the bags that my frozen veg comes in if I could seal them once filled (they don't have handles and aren't long enough to tie).

Bedlinen/Bed sheets
I'm after recommendations for nice / good quality (very subjective I realise) white bedlinen: fitted sheet, 2 or 4 pillow cases, duvet cover. Unfortunately the purchase will have to be online and can only go to £75 top tops. Can't trust Amazon reviews and even M&S and QVC don't escape bad write ups.

Slow Cooker Advice
We're in the market for a new slow cooker. Our old one is over ten years old now and while it still works fine, our family has out grown it.
