I might go to hobbycraft later and see what they have in their range. I seem to be getting lots of american options when I google, and it's all new to me! One suggests that standard pva glue should be ok though so that will be easy enough. First of all I'll have a look through the box and see if there are any instructions as to what they suggest."If you can dream it, you can do it". Walt Disney4

Good luck with the dolls house. PVA glue is likely to be forgiving. You can buy wood glue or gorilla glue - but it may stick more quickly and if it was slightly wonky you'd have less time to fix it.Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

Thank you - I did buy PVA in the end.

I did find some instructions amongst all the stuff, so I headed off to hobby craft and B&Q with a list. I've no idea if I've bought the right stuff, but will give it a go. What's the betting it all stays in the bag for the next year or so

Don't over-buy... Temptations galore in both of those... Going with a list sounds very wise. Keep receipts. You probably won't need half of what you buy. Would BnM or HB be cheaper and have similar?Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

I did go in B&M and they didn't have anything. We don't have HB here. I stuck to my list, just some glue, brushes, primer, wood filler, sandpaper, acrylic paint and varnish. I've bought small quantities where I can and will buy more if I need to.savingholmes said:Don't over-buy... Temptations galore in both of those... Going with a list sounds very wise. Keep receipts.

I agree about the temptations though - in Hobbycraft there is so much tempting stuff even though I'm not crafty or artistic "If you can dream it, you can do it". Walt Disney5 -
I've been through little miss's drawers today and sorted her clothes. A big pile to go. Where does it all come from? I do this regularly.
Just going to take photos of some stuff to list. The kids have also identified a box to go, so will try and look through that later.
I've done my PADs to savings and mortgage.
Have a good day everyone
