    I got the DVD of Rock 'n' Roll High School in East Kilbride the other day. Starring The Ramones of course. I haven't watched it yet but am looking forward to a cheese-fest when I do:D

    Has anyone tried the vacuum clothing storage bags?
    I just wondered if they actually worked.
    Thanks

    I've tried the JML Jumbo VacPaks for my duvets - they are very good.

    Are the ones in Poundland the same brand? Might be worth a trip!

    I don't know what brand they are, as they had sold out this morning. They're getting more in tomorrow, so I'll post back when I've tried them. I bought some when they first came out years ago, at great expense, but they stopped working after a few months.I thought they might be good for packing the clothes and towels that I'll leave behind at the end of a holiday. Hope they're not too big, but I doubt it for £1

    I bought a few for storing my DS clothes in when he grew out of them. So far they have lasted about 4 months and show no sign of leakage! You do need to go over the seal very carefully though(it kinda clicks into place)

    Brilliant, could do with these to store away my winter clothes since doing the Health & Beauty moneysaving board's decluttering.
