Well, as I'd lost my NSD to D/Debits I nipped down the road for a couple of bits I wanted. Couldn't find a (sewing type) tape measure - I've lost mine - but did manage to get the kitchen bottle/glass/mug brushes I wanted in a local independant discount store.
I also picked up a couple of glass pyr3x jugs (1pt size, £2.99 each) as I'm fed up of the jugs I have - the large plastic ones are opaque with same colour measuring guides (which makes it almost impossible to measure hot liquids as they then steam up as well) and the small ones (clear with coloured measurements) have scratched up badly with stiring things in them and are now shattering when I put hot liquids in them (they've also doubled in price since I got the ones that are giving out on me). So I see these glass jugs as being an investment, 'cos I'll be able to stop buying lots of different 'cheap' plastic ones in the hope I've finally found one that'll lastCheryl0 -

Batten down the hatches, folks, its wild out there"If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together... there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you. "
