  • I find just changing my furnature around helps me feel better about my room. I do it every now and then although it is much more trying now that OH lives with me.

    Little steps as always Beanie and don't make yourself ill.

    Also so pleased for you and your new walker. Thank you Ali. Kindness comes from so many places and a lot of places we would never expect it from.

    Have a lovely afternoon.

    Must be honest & say am finding this tough on so many levels.
    Have had a very large disagreement with my DS.

    Anyway, it has to be done.
    Has anyone seen any really cheap as chips peg bags by any chance?
    Also looking for a birthday book if anyone can point me in the right direction.

  • Bad news about DS. Hopefully things will settle down. I don't use a peg bag but a recycled popcorn bucket works for me.

  • Peg bags in pound shops come with pegs too beanie :) as a kid I helped my mum put an old t shirt on a coat hanger and stitch the bottom closed/stitch it to the hanger with a few loops. I coloured it in for her - think she still has it somewhere :D

    The home-made ones are far better than the poundland ones - which don't last at all.

    They use a cheap plastic which degrades in the presence of direct light...

    Since I sadly don't have any outdoor space, or indoor for that matter, my poundshop basket of pegs resides in my nice dark wardrobe with an iron, a bag of potatoes, and my onesies. :rotfl: well protected see!!

    And :rotfl: at the anvil!! Meanie!
