Can you still get 'blue bags'? Plea from mum!

My mum has searched long & hard for somewhere to buy 'blue bags' that she used to put into laundry to keep the whites looking white, but she can't find them anywhere. Does anyone know if you can still get them please?

She's just exhausted the ones we found in my Nan's cupboards when she passed on - quite a few years ago now - a great hoarder my Nan was (and my DH will tell you that I take after her a bit too much - :D LOL!). When we cleared out her house we found packs of bandages going back to the war :eek: .

I miss her and really wish she was still here - she was the greatest Old Styler I ever met, and although I learned a lot from her, I'm sure there is more I could have....

    That website is fantastic, make sure you have your speakers on as it plays wartime music as you shop.
