    Beenie - I have never had a seperate drier, always had washer driers we have had 2 in the years we have been together first one lasted 8yrs and this one has lasted 7yrs but tbh I think it will go soon as it has ocassionally behaved funny!! We have usually paid about £350-£400(ish)

    In my Asda they do a few different types and one have no fasteners at all, just elastic. They're grey but rarely in stock.

    Otherwise i'm sure Matalan do some with buttons, not positive tho

    Hi 3

    I think most places are those slidey clip things! I used to get some from Next and Woolworths that were buttons. I haven't had for a while though because Woolworths shut down and ds1 went through 11 pairs of trousers last year so I got the cheapest I could find, Asda I think!

    I've had a look on Asda online, but they all look like clips.

    Mel - there is still Woolies online. They've got one style with a button, for £18 for a two pack for age 13. :eek:
    I'm just looking on Matalan, but it's hard to tell how they fasten, and which are girls or boys! I might pop in in RL tomorrow.

    Thanks ladies. :D

    Yeah but I am impatient and like to buy all the uniforms in one go....so I couldn't be bothered to wait for deliveries...and at those prices I wouldn't bother with them anyway! He has only put holes in 4 pairs so far this year, but while he is going through this phase of trashing his clothes he is getting the cheapest I can find!

    I even bought him about 4 pairs of cheapy ebay jeans because he has put holes in all his jeans (the ones he hasn't grown out of!!)

    DKAM, sorry to be negative, but I thought about your red car earlier.. wouldn't it be a bit "recognisable"? :cool: If someone found out you had a red car and there aren't many of them about, it might not be too hard to spot if someone found out your area, iyswim.. Maybe I just have too wild an imagination *shrug* :o

    MFD, you sound like you need a break, cheeky question, but do you get good sick pay (just because I wouldn't want to say get signed off if it will cause financial strain)? I would take some time off, get away from it all if you can, plan a few nice days out, a few days lounging in bed (ha! like you could with Benjamin anyway). Do it now before you burn out.

    Beenie, I would be hoping for 4-5years for a tumble dryer. How old is yours?

    Mel, glad you got a laugh, I've came down now!

    But Being human... oh my god!!!

    ETA, 3, could you sew on some buttons maybe?

    And also, I thought red was the most common colour after silver for cars?
  • Well what a loooooong day!
    I had such a great time at my sisters today, the kids were angels, and I saw my Mummy!
    I'm seeing her again tommorrow as she's having the baby while I go court.
    I'm i such a quandry about where to live! I keep deciding on places then changin my mind!
    I think I might just stay here forever! lol
    No seriosuly though, seeing my sis today made me think that this area aint to bad really, infact it's a bloody good area with good oppourtunities, and it's close to her, mum said if I stay up these ends she'll look for an exchane to near here so we are all close together.
    I'm still deciding but know I need to get my aris into gear and make a decision quick time!
