I am only doing wee bits and bobs at the moment.

I am hoping to try to do some decluttering today.
A box of carrier bags :eek: :rotfl:
I kid you not!!!

That's exactly my attitude.Same here.
On the plus side they are sorted out now ( including some from my old BT days :eek::rotfl:)
Well they do last forever, except for those mega crappy ones (usually from Tesco) which were designed to degrade on their own. Which meant that if you'd put something in a carrier bag to protect it (such as Christmas decorations) when it rolled around to being time to take them out of storage, you had the crappiest of fake snow - and no bags... :mad:"Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

Well they were fine for small bin liners. I have, just recently, bought some small bin liners. For the first time in over 20 years I think...:eek:A friend popped round and delcuttered a coat to her

I hope you've all 'samosa folded' your carrier bags:

Incredibly satisfying to do and they take up virtually no room.
PS am still slightly embarrassed at how much pleasure it gives me

I am looking for your help again please. I am looking to have personalised labels done to stick on my Christmas cards so I dont have to write them. Something that I can put a Christmas greeting on & a Christmas picture on ie a snowman.
Can anyone help? Thanks.

I was going to suggest if you have a printer typing up the labels yourself. I do this for address labels. Sadly my Christmas card list gets shorter every year and there's not a lot of writing to do these days. I remember I used to make a big thing of writing them out with a gold pen - had to have a glass of Baileys and Christmas music in the background.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0
