    Claire try Freecycle, or ask your neighbours to save them.

    Ames, the silly mare who has the tickets keeps spouting 'legal' rubbish at us, she reckons she spoken to lawyers and the police.
    I'd rather spend £20 on a solicitors letter :D I've left them with the details.

    claire, if you buy value jam/marmalade, they are cheaper than buying the empty jars - if you don't get any on freecycle.

    Ten bloody quid to get two keys cut! Still, it's cheaper than having to pay for a locksmith, and it's bound to end up that way if I carry on being a dozy mare.

    Claire, do you have a market near you? The one in Leeds has a few stalls that do jars and stuff, I got some 4 for £1 a while back. Or ikea do them fairly cheap.

    Ok, here's a really silly question - the sizing on a pack of curtains, is it for both or for one? Just call me the undomestic goddess...

    I think it is one Ames. So if it says 60" x 56" that is each curtain. I am sure someone more knowledgable will come along soon to confirm that or laugh at it!

    NOt sure about the curtain thing Ames sorry.

    Am going to take my miserable ar5e home for cuddles with Hubbles and giggles with Nathan. The second workout will just have to go hang.

    On the plus side I have cheekbones and bicep muscles. On the minus side I have a banging sore head and am tired. Tomorrow I'll be back with a vengeance. I may just have a challenge to sort myself (and you!) out ;)

    That's the size per curtain Ames - width first then drop. What size window do you have?

    Ames, definitely for one curtain. Althought I had to think about it then :o

    I've just applied to get a co-op membership card. I have a co-op account and just found out I will get membership points for having money in the bank with them - I had no idea! If anyone else banks with them take a look at the co-op membership stuff.
