    Hey Snaggs - echo freecycle for the microwave, Wilkos do the bin bags at a decent enough price - is yours the 30L or 50L? I bought 50L bags for my 30L one, and it was a nightmare!! Still used them all though. And plastic carrier bags do sit in them quite well too. :)

    lol for some reason I read that as you wanted a bin that could match bet for you... I would agree in that case.. although I'm all too used to our money ending up in the bin...

    When I was a kid I used to read the Argos catalogue :confused: Then we bought a house and had to buy stuff and rediscovered the literature of my youth.... things had changed.

    -For a start it used to be movable now it's about 6 times the size.
    -There are no longer teasmaids (my mum used to dream of one and several times I tried to save to buy her one but never did ) and now I can't
    -Things have had the "Dyson effect" once upon a time hoovers cost £80 tops (unless you were really posh and had a vax) then suddenly £300 and 'sexy' with lots of features. Then it happened to other stuff like bins and ironing boards :confused: Most consumer stuff has got cheaper from China but then these really mundane items get pimped up like a ford capri down the local asda carpark. How :eek:
    -The calculator section is really small - I used read the pages and pages of expensive calculators and wnat to know what all those functions did - :o
    -I also remember there used to be loads of stuff like knitting machines and pages of emergency lantern torches ? Did we really spend the 80s making our own jumpers, using teasmaids and in permanent need of an emergency lantern torch...

    Was I the only kid who read the Argos catalogue _pale_ That's [strike]a bit [/strike] VERY sad isn't it.... :confused:
