That was a good idea to save some!EssexHebridean said:I’m still clinging on to some plastic yogurt pot lids we saved when we realised they were being phased out - suspect it won’t be too long before we need to invest in some replacements though!
Nor did I until now. Though it's actually glass meal prep containers, so I'll use them for lunches and hopefully batch cooking if I get myself organised. The lack of yoghurt pot lids annoys me so they will hopefully be a useful purchase.beanielou said:I have neither glass storage jars or silicone lids.
They will hopefully be good. I was going back to getting the smaller pots because the lack of lids was annoying, I can save money by buying the bigger pots again now!NeverendingDMP said:Glass jar for dog biscuits here.

Happy Sunday!
DH and I have been out this morning collecting little miss's new mattress and taking the old one to the tip along with a load of garden rubbish, the cardboard and a few other bits as well. That's a nice lot of stuff gone, including some hardcore that's been hanging around in the garden for years.
We went to a few sofa shops yesterday and eventually found a style we both liked so got a 3 seater and a reclining armchair for DH instead of a 2 seater (He's the only one that sits/lays on that one). We ordered it, and then got home to find that the website says something different to what the salesperson did about the dimensions for delivery, so at the moment, we don't know if we'll be able to get them in. I'll phone them tomorrow and find out. Otherwise we'll have to cancel it which will be very frustrating. I paid for it on the CC rather than doing finance, and assuming it's ok, I will be challenging myself to clear it before the 0% runs out so I don't have to use savings. If they do turn out to fit ok, it will be delivered beginning of March.
We'll use up the last of the gammon today, then that will be the leftovers done. We were given loads of biscuits, chocolates and cakes, so have mountains of that left, but there's no hurry with that, it will all last! I just need to organise it all so it's not in my way."If you can dream it, you can do it". Walt Disney7 -
