    I've found what I was looking for but not very money saving £20.00:eek: http://www.angelic-shop.com

    Look under keys/socks on the left hand side.

    First time I've put a link in, so hope it works!

    Love the site, Frugal :D (I know a couple of "little people" who would love some of those "what I'm wearing today" hangers ;)) - but you're right...not very money-saving...:o

    Think this one will have to wait until I'm debt-free!!:rolleyes:

    I liked the odd sock peg board thingy too, i think i will make my own after all its just a few clothes pegs stuck on a bit of wood! it cant be too hard to make, I'm going to paint the wood with a bit of bright leftover paint first, then attach either bright plastic or wooden pegs on with some no more nails glue that i have in the cupboard and ................hey presto a sock peg thingy! (I hope!)

  • I'm gutted that I've missed this... What is it with BBC putting the decent stuff on BBC 3, I never even think of looking at what's on on that channel...

    Is this the 1st episode of her new series?

    If I am honest with myself I take great pleasure in sitting and watching it and saying I do that, and that and that already! Sad huh? Then my mum takes great pleasure in saying just wait till you have kids...

    Thank goodness for sky plus to catch the repeat in a few hours else I would be staying up! Infact, I am sooo excited I may stay up anyway!
  • I agree with Janeawej - I think it would be easy enough to put one of these together with little bother. It also made me think about hunting out something I used to hang the kids' soft toys on. It was a chain of plastic links with grip pegs the whole way down. I could hang that near the washing machine - if I could find it.

    I recently found a 'quaint' shop locally that sells one of these - but I'm afraid they don't have enough space for all our odds .... nor do I have a wall long enough to hang one that does, come to think of it!
    I'm sure the one I saw was about £10 - but TBH I still think it's extravagent - and while it looks pretty while its sock free, I'm not sure how aesthetically pleasing it would be 'in use'!
