£8 for a watch strap, that is silly, you could nearly buy a new watch for that.

I know. I was hoping the pound shop would have watch straps, but no joy. So I was prepared to spend up to a pound on some thick ribbon or cloth tape to make my own. Found some in the haberdashery dept at Boyes (our local discount dept store type place, bit like Wilkinsons), at 30 a metre! Bingo, and I thought I might get away with buying half a metre, so I ask and the lady says I can buy as little as 10cm! So I asked for 20, and paid 6p.

6p for a watch strap! (and about 15 mins faffing about attaching the buckle and neatening the end) And it's actually elastic, so although I've reused the old buckle, I can just take it off without undoing it!
I'm feeling very worthy. What with that and reusing my teabags...

Arch, if you would like to start making your own teabags, I can send you the correct material. My only concern is that stitching the tea bag might take longer than drinking the Tea?

Off today to see my mother. Much tea will be required later.:angry:

No, I think making my own teabags is a step too far. If I'm using loose tea (which I never do), I can use a teaball strainer thingy...

I have seen giant 'teabags' designed to go in a bath, full of relaxing herbs like lavender. You could use the material for that...

My desk is infested! There are three mice on it! And only two keyboards and one monitor. I keep getting confused and using the wrong one.. Still, at least one of the mice is heated...:evil:
