Evening all... just wondered if I could pick a few brains -- locally, I can no longer buy those useful cellophane discs that you moisten and use to cover jam jars.
Any ideas on who would stock them mail-order/ online?
Many thanks ... and fingers crossed, as I've just used the last ones I had!
Lakeland do them :)
::)
So how dim do I feel?
Of course Lakeland would do them!
And at least I haven't already ordered the big packs of waxed discs from Ascott's, cause Lakeland's packs have everything down to the elastic bands.
Fab!
Thanks so much SS
;D
;) lol triffid
there's a lakeland shop 50 yards from my front door :o
where can I get old fashioned fabric circles for jam jar tops cut out wiv pinking shears
don't like lakeland's twinkly ones and don't want to make my own :-[
;D
I have a ready and willing supply of child labour... small triff and tiny triff adore doing stuff like that!
... and I inherited a wardrobe full of bolts, lengths and swatches of fabric from my aunt which (to OH's intense irritation ;D) I won't chuck out!
SS I'm sooo jealous, we have no Lakeland near us. It is my idea of heaven! And the Windermere shop is even better.... I have been ordering from them for at least 27 years!Mind you if there was one I would spend too much money in it, so perhaps it is better, OH would definitely think so. ;)
And for the rest of us that live in a 'Lakeland' wilderness, there is of course www.lakeland.co.uk. Also, of course, they have a very efficient mail order system. I really would have to say that it would be nice to have one of their stores nearer that 50+ miles away!!!

I had to shop around many many shops but someone on the beeb board told me that their local Tesco had 'em, so I got them there...
And now I haven't got a proper excuse for visiting Lakeland any more: my local Waitrose (having told me they wouldn't be re-stocking this item) just ... re-stocked. ::)
Maybe I just won't mention that to OH, then I don't have to face the Spanish Inquisition when I say I'm going to Lakeland.
... I'll only have to face the Spanish Inquisition when I come home laden with carrier bags ;D
lol hope you don't get the Comfy Chair treatment :o ;D

If you only want one item the postage cost kills it, though.
mmm, now what's the word I'm searching for, SS?
Oh yes...
snork
;D
Ah but at least it all comes in plain brown packaging - easy to dispose of without raising suspicions...

I couldn't agree more, greyhound, though I have never yet paid P&P on my order from Lakeland. My order, going through all the catalogues, seems to be a bit like Topsy - it just growed!!
I treat the Lakeland and seed catalogues the same. I originally make out a list of everything I would like/like to grow. Then I get my sensible hat on, and then I get realistic hat on. The order(s) are a fraction of the original. draft
Well it gives me something to do in the depressing, increasingly darkening days. Yes I know I'm sad as opposed to suffering from SAD.
Anyway - roll on Christmas, and we'll be past the winter solstice, and we will have turned the shortest day, and it willl be getting light again for longer
