Mrs KP. Read my post for suggestion. Don't fancy gassing myself with your method... I am too young to die ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Lish definitely won't need the odd one from me then, at least she won't think it is a windup any more ;)

i did try the drilling technique but it made so much racket that i was scared i'd wake the whole street. lol

i now only do one at a time, when needed, and have full ventilation and dedicated skewer (kebabs just wouldn't taste the same).   ;D

KP, you gave me the name of the pointed tool I keep for it - bradawl or something similar? I actually make patterns round my tubs - honest! The other day, tho, I was looking for my tomato slicing knife. Couldn't find it anywhere. Then remembered that the last time I'd used it (hot) was to cut round the black buckets (49p each from Wilkos, when I set up my ring culture Pretty Maids. Funny how most of my kitchen stuff ends up on the outhouse ::)

Sunday morning - after my sortie to Wilkinson's for their End-of-Season bargains, I'm going on to my local Morries and DEMAND MY RIGHTS ;D but I've still got this sneaky feeling that they don't actually exist.. :-\

MrsKP

it must be cos i spent ages looking for them....i asked the woman stocking shelves and she looked at me like i just snatched her first born.

i spent ages looking for them....i then had to leave because i hit my toe in the shelf corner and it was bleeding and then they put a plaster on it and made me sit down.

in the doncaster branch they keep them near the marked down fruit and veg, but they are hit and miss, sometimes don't have any in for months.

pity in a way it wasn't bleeding buckets ::) ;D

roflmao @ wahaj !! 

my very nice senior type of assistant person (he wore black trousers and a white shirt as opposed to a uniform - must be management  :P) who taped my first set of buckets up for me said i could always ask for them if i didn't see them, they had them "out the back".

but when i grabbed the 40 (yes FORTY) they were under a special offer table right by the incoming turnstiles.

still gutted i only got 8 for 99p though.   :P

Chris Graham

They will be great for toms ;)
