    Nenen the white set of drawers from Argos are put together with those locking nut type screws not just brass ones like the natural wood, so guessing with the extra weight will be stronger.

    We are not putting that one together yet as looking at it, I would only want it in a bathroom, the white finish is a bit plastic looking to me. But would wipe down nicely in a bathroom.

    I think the natural ones are much more pleasant to look at and you could use them anywhere, bedrooms, halls etc. Mr TS has made the 3 drawer sturdier by temporarily putting it together so that the screws marked the wood and then pre drilling the holes slightly, this has made a huge difference to the overall structure of the frame. No gaps where the wood meets. :T

    In both cases the drawers are very flimsy and will not hold much weight as their is only a cardboard type bases to them no wood under the frame to hold the middle of the drawers weight. I would think they may sag after time hopefully fine for me as I said will be keeping scarves, gloves and hats in them. ;)

    If its anything like the one I went on they go on and on about not using food past its sell buy date :eek::eek:


    They do that because most people in the rl don't know how to look after/cook food hence serious risk of harm.

    They make food idiot proof so they can't get complaints or incidents and end up being sued.

    I put up one of those little 'bee boxes' made out of hollow bamboo sticks last month and five or six of the cells have been colonised. I can't remember what I am supposed to do - I know I can leave the box where it is until later in the year but I think it has to be overwintered in the garage or at least underover so it doesn't get wet? Can anybody tell me when to put it in - and when it can go back outside (I dont want baby bees all over the garage!)

    I think there's a new mag (DD was waving what I think was the new one at me yesterday)
    If it is I think it has a moc in it for 3 health lottery tickets for £2 :j
    We normally do the odd lucky dip on the lottery so for the same price I'm thinking we might as well give this a go instead :j

    Edit: found it, yes there's a new mag for June :D

    I don't play odus either (think I'm level 70) as I forget he's there and he falls off his perch just as my level is going well :mad:
    I'm on level 470 and waiting for tickets so may have to do housework until everyone gets home to respond to my requests :rotfl:
