Re using things!
Have you ever felt guilty about throwing out Pringles tubes etc.,? Well I did - then I came up with the idea of using them for storage. Small pieces of cross stitch, crafty stuff, and all those various chargers - just fit neatly. I just cover them with pretty papers and label them. One day I will grow out of paper/glue/glitter!!From the left - Pringles tube, Bisto carton, and Twiglets carton!

Re: Re using things!
I am also a hoarder of things that might come in handy.I keep plastic containers to either sow seeds in and clear plastic lids to make little propagators for seedlings, and things like empty mushroom trays for plant trays, and lately I've even been saving empty Yakult mini plastic bottles to use as cane toppers when I cover plants with fleece on cold nights, they stop the canes tearing the fleece or bubble wrap.
I keep just a few empty 2 pt and 4 pt milk containers too, for mixing liquids for garden fertilisers and/or sprays or disinfectants.
So no Pringles tubes for me Tabs, but plenty of other containers.

Do you mean Socks in a Box? I liked the ending; a clever way of getting your own back, and getting rid of the socks at the same time.

Trouble is, I was looking for something I'm sure I have somewhere, but couldn't for the life of me find it.
Me too JBR.
