Thank you - so why did we think they had stopped working ? (other than the fact that they are OOS on T's list).

Because they came back n/a on an afternoon shop today, done in Northern Ireland.

Just measured the lid on mine at its widest point and its 33cm not 35cm
Hth

33cm Would be fine the other way, I just need one of the dimensions to be below 30cm.

Hi bubbs and everyone else,
Can I ask why folks only seem to be buying Aero/Maltesers/Twirl when several others are working? (See my post 1688).
Surely you can't all have the same preference?

Cheers,
ChelseaFred:)

I bought a Wispa

It's not necessarily a "meltdown". They talk about "meltdowns", particularly in the context of autism, and I once said I was having that and got misunderstood:(. Unfortunately I think I used the wrong word (sometimes I don't say what I mean and then I get misunderstood) - it wasn't really a "meltdown", which I associate with more of a temper tantrum and kicking and screaming out, although I do not know, because I don't have that issue - but, instead, it was more of a "panic attack" than a meltdown. Really, I just wanted half a minute alone. And...do you know what happened when I said what I said? They all surrounded me and kept trying to speak to me - which compounded how I was feeling even more. After a few moments, I was alright again - but it was much later than what it would have been if they'd just departed and left me alone! I suppose 'my fault', in a way, for not making things clear to them as to what I wanted them to do but also not my fault as it is sometimes difficult for me to express orally exactly what I want. The words "come out wrongly".

EDIT: Perhaps it is a "meltdown". Perhaps I am being too literal with my meaning of the word "meltdown"! And I can :rotfl::rotfl: about my literalism now. ("Meltdown" could just mean an emotional change and need not be a literal meltdown of the type commonly associated by some or many people as being found in autistic people.) Can I just speak to myself?: "It's not a term of art Savvy - these threads are friendly conversation. People are not exact like you are!"

Bubbs, sorry to hear about your sister.

TS - hugs.

tweets - I know this might be easier said than done, but it might worth trying to come up with a plan. Hopefully like you say you'll never need it, but it's surely better to be prepared just in case. Things happen unexpectedly, like my weeks stay in hospital last week, that are outside our control. If DS is down as next of kin, would he be able to come and take care of her? Or could he get a message to your mum and she take Poppy? I hope you don't mind my suggestions, I just think it might be an idea to think about it rather than just hope nothing happens, which of course we all do.

Thanks

I am getting tired of trying to find a kitchen bin. Don't need anymore than about 40 litres of so, thought I had found one in the Curver touch bin that is currently about £23 in T but the reviews on amazon are no good.

The problem is that it cannot be above 30 cm diameter or on one width, and I would prefer a touch bin because a home compost bin lives in front of it.

The other problem is I do not want to pay more than about £20 for it.

Oh, and I would like a bit of colour

I can't believe the price of some of the bins, we manufacture something that then gets phenomenally marked up so I have some idea of the base price of something and know bull well that I should be able to get a reasonably priced touch bin that will not fall apart in no time flat, the resellers seem to disagree.

A reasonably priced bullet bin of that size would do but all the ones I have found have been about 35 cm diameter

Anyone any better ideas?

Not quite what you are describing but we have one of these under the sink and think it's great.
