Has anyone any suggestions for using up those bits of nylon netting that seem to come with every bottle of bubble bath. There is only the two of us living here and we've got two in the bathroom, two in the suitcase, one in the kitchen (cleans non-stick pans)and one at the bottom of a vase of flowers. Any more ideas?

Another one in the bathroon(different colour) to clean the bath.
In bottom of flowerpots that you want to drain well.
Join them together and put a face on the top one to make a soft(ish) toy.

They make ideal hammocks for mice.

If they're made of plastic, they probably burn rather well. You could use them instead of firelighters.

Only in a well-ventilated area.

Don't put them in water because dolphins get trapped in them

Could you collect a big bunch of them and attach them together on the end of a stick to use as a mop, or perhaps a cobweb remover for the corners of rooms?

here is a brief and non corrected form of a vry long post which i just wrote but hen acccidentally deleated while trying to correct it.

cover them in glitter and put them on the xmas tree

use them to bulk out a basket of smellies which you are giving to someone who is not worthy of an expensive poresent

donate them to a local cause to use a raffle or lucky dip prizes


cellotape the to the bottom of a bucket and the fill it with water and make you friends biob for them like apples. but dont tell them you taped the things down

i wonder where that very long post went?

I always used to think lost text went out the back of the computer and floated up in the air. But then I also used to entertain the notion that text which scrolled off the top of the screen sort of piled up and that if you scrolled enough text off you'd eventually get a message to an extra-terrestrial civilisation.

I was a lot younger then. Computer Science has taught me otherwise smiley - smiley
