    (They're currently stored in a plastic box with dividers, and once I accidentally tipped the box while trying to open it and scattered them everywhere :eek: 3mm and 4mm half pearls are not fun to pick up from the floor and re-sort by colour!)


    OMG *faints*


    I just ran to my cupboard to see what I have but I only have one almost finished jar of Schwartz Oregano (all the rest are shop's own) which I would have been happy to post to you but I checked postage cost and it would be £2.80 so it would be cheaper for you to buy a new jar than for me to post it! I'm sorry, that is very unhelpful. I'll keep my eyes peeled though and if I can get a collection of them I'll let you know.


    I will pot 10p in a minute :D

    Oh no! Would it not fit in one of those envelopes with bubble wrap inside and therefore could be sent by second class post? Of course I'd be happy to pay postage especially if you're able to get up a collection, thank you :D And thanks so much for offering! :kisses3:

    I have found a £1 coin at the bottom of my bag so I shall use it to christen my new pot when I get home :j I'm also going to declutter said bag in the hope of finding more coins :D

    Yes, it probably would fit in one of those envelopes but it would have to be sent as a parcel and the cheapest 2nd class parcel is £2.80. I will ask my mum if she has any and I will ask around just in case. I don't mind paying the postage but I really want it to be worthwhile :)

    ooo Selene, I saw that post and was all 'ohhh if only I had the jars . . . and something to put in them as I don't use glitter!' :rotfl: Might be worth asking on your local FB selling pages as it is the kind of thing people might have in their cupboards almost empty or with out of date contents?

    I had some various pennies today but I can't for the life of me remember how much was there so I shall declare 'a small collection of silver and bronze coloured coins in the pot today' :D

    I have a couple nearly empty.


    Just had a punt around and atm Mr Morrys is offering at £1.59 so it might be worth buying a few to start you off. The herbs will store ok in small poly bags so long as airtight and keep in the cupboard. Approved don't have them.


    It might be worth looking in A*di though, as maybe you could use some of those for a section of your supplies and they are only 41p each atm.


    Will pot a £1 for posting :D


    Hope you all have a fabulous Friday
