    Does anyone know where I could buy (retail) feminine hygiene disposal bags? Our two current lodgers are young women and there are going to be a lot of men around over the next few weeks. The shower room loo bin needs to be a bit more unisex-looking if you get my drift. I've been looking a very desultory way for quite a long time but don't seem to have come up with a solution yet. Any suggestions gratefully received.

    Hi Honey Bear :)
    I'm involved with an eco-friendly company - unfortunately we don't sell feminine hygiene bags,(as yet), but we do sell the dog ahem poop bags that could be used? Just of interest also - we do sell a good range of other feminine hygiene products :) If I'm allowed I'll post my website on here but not sure if I can??

    Squeak appears to have a very sore throat :(
    I desperately need a nap and dd3 hates me because she isn't allowed to go to her friends until the bedroom is tidy it is a tiny room and if she stopped moaning would take about half an hour to sort

    We sell them - I work for a company called Femwise (Femwise.co.uk) - check them out and if you ring my bosses, Andy and Beverley Brown they'll be able to help you. I know we do send them out to Guesthouses and Pubs who request them on an adhoc basis so they'd be glad to help you out. Don't quote me as I'm not in the sales department, but I think they're about £20 for 1000. I hope I'm allowed to post all this on here? I wasn't touting for business Moderators, just answering a question :o

    Hope this helps.

    Does sound like squeak is sickening for something...

    Well I have compared the meerkat plus a few others and have quotes ranging from £285 to £1,300 :rotfl: mmmm which to choose...

    I will call @dmiral tomorrow, seem to think they matched me last year (had multicar from them the previous year which was good value) but can't imagine they will deduct £100 - still you never know! If not, Sh3ila's Wheels it is!!!

    Need to decide what's for dinner, littlies are nattering for more food - we've not long since had lunch! They had gammon and cucumber wraps with some cheese and fruit (and a freddo bar :o) but apparently that does not suffice. I wish they liked to eat the same things...

    Remember Quidco too, bossy :)

  • Welcome Tracey12 - take it easy to start with and just do baby steps until you get into the swing of things. Some days you will have loads of time and energy and other days you wont. Just tailor the lists to whatever you have going on on any given day. You'll get there and nobody will knock you if you don't.

    TMD xx
