string holder!!!

[Melinda_dd]

Couldn't believe it, nipped to a well known garden centre at the weekend and spotted this string holder....
A ball of string £1.99.... Same ball of string but on this holder........ £12.99!!!

How are we not all rich!

'Cos the garden centre will have paid only £2 for it Melinda.

I put my string in an old cocoa tin with a hole in the lid - it stops it tangling and costs nothing!

Am I showing my age? ;-)

 

[Random Orbital Bob]

What you're showing Andy.....is initiative

my string holder is a coffee jar with a hole in the plastic lid. You can always see how much string there is inside.
I'd like to take credit for the idea, but I saw it on a woodworking magazine years ago... :lol:

Another classic . I love this forum. The volume of brilliantly simple and accessible ideas is absolutely excellent

Yes Andy you are, but not because you keep string in a tin, but because it is a cocoa tin! :lol:

I tend to keep my string in a snotty tangled mess in a drawer somewhere. Thankfully I don't have cause to use string much.

 

[Random Orbital Bob]

Haha Bodge. I'm in the snotty mess camp myself

In fact I think my most recent storage place for string is a pile of plane shavings under my workbench, just behind the mousetrap!

It staggers me that someone at some point will buy it too!!

So that if it misses the trap the poor mouse will string itself up?

What garden centre is it?, I've got a great idea for some thing very similar but was only going to charge £11.99............ :lol:
