But....but....but.... - did you get a bargain?

Oh yes, I forgot to say that bit.:p I did get another across the body bag from Evans for only £2. It's a velvety, chocolate brown bag.

I have some home-made laundry bags which are made from net curtain fabric and re-purposed nylon zips, in various sizes. I use these to wash items which are technically machine washable but which tend to distort/ bobble if given half a chance.

I do have a zippable laundry bag made of a fishnet stocking type fabric that I bought for my undies in communal washes when travelling; never thought to use it with larger items. I guess they keep garments more compressed, so less surface area to bobble and warp?

Wilko do some that are not fishnet but are 'filled in' - IYSWIM - and also padded.

I always wash my bras/bikini tops in them as well as anything that has beads or sequins on.
And all knitwear.

Me too - I got mine from Lidl as they often have them in their laundry offers.

Help. Help.
Been into Primark, asked where the Jo Malone smell-alike was.
Assistant didn't know so asked another.
She didn't know so asked another.
She didn't know either.
Looked in the perfume section.
Nothing.
Wandered upstairs to the home section, looked at candles & diffusers.
Nothing.
Where should I be looking?

On the upside, I bought a pair of M&S 100% linen trousers (their 'Love Linen' range) in a denim colour.
These have an elasticated cotton ribbing back and are fabulously comfortable,
I have lots of pairs in different colours.
£1.99 Oxfam

Visiting daughter in north west, went to local Hospice superstore, between us we got a large bagful for £10. Worked out my bits cost me £2 which included

Per Una brown corded jacket
Maine grey v neck top with flower detail.
2 next tops 1 red with longer sleeves & other black/white.

Best thing is if you go again, take the bag back and fill for £8.

Primarni candles are all numbered - look at the description of the scents rather than the name My local store had no lime basil & Mandarin, but a good selection of the others.
