A few years ago I bought a whole roll of clear cellophane (can't remember where I got it now) and it has been SO useful.

there's some on Ebay that seems a reasonable price here 5m for £2.50 incl p+p, or there's this chap selling rolls of it, you could get 100m for 31p a metre incl vat and p+p. I've had mine so long I have no idea how much I paid for it except I know it was cheap!

It's great for loads of things

We always save and wipe the cellophane wrapping from bunches of flowers (those were the days) to smarten up home-picked bunches or other presents.

we got ours from a florist, maybe you could go into your local shop and ask if they would get you a roll, or at least point you in the direction of the local supplier

Off down town later, I think I shall walk to get some exercise as well as saving £1.60 buss fare. Will get the buss back though with the shopping.
I am thinking of buying some bright coloured leg warmers along with other things.

Further to using the bread bag instead of cling film for my lunch sandwiches, when using the last slices of a loaf, I now re-use the bread bag. My cling film usage has plummeted.

I know this is really naughty but I must admit to DH making up whisky and water in an empty water bottle before going to the pub:eek:

He buys the first drink and keeps topping it up when no-ones looking. It needs to be a busy night though to avoid the embarassment of beng spotted:D
