Beanie Lidl in England have plastic boxes on offer from next Thursday.
I know Scotland sometimes has different offers but I would check the leaflet online to see if they have them and they would be the right size.If you go down to the woods today you better not go alone.4 -

Of course the other thing is I could do is cull my jeans.
I have some in the size below where I am now.
I do really need to deceide whether to ditch or keep.
Even writing that though makes me think I will keep.........

I have far too many pairs of jeans but then I do tend to live in them these days so I like a variety. I suppose lunch is a fair swap for an Easter egg 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

I've just got back into jeans that I have been too fat for, for about 16 months (just in time for summer when they are usually too hot for me during the day!) rolling eyes here. It depends on you - willpower, willingness, and will you? (imperative) - if you have what I used to call a dose of the "F***-its" then culling is the right thing to do. But you are a positive person, who cares, so maybe not the right thing. Maybe hedge your bets by keeping one or two pairs
