I love the look of yours, but guessing postage is probably bad to the Highlands too! If only companies would use Parcel Force, they send across the UK for a flat rate. But a lot of businesses seem to pick couriers that boycott our rural places in Scotland. <br /><br />Oh, and I'm *just* the same about jigsaws & games! :) We pack them in zipper bags and they're kept in plastic boxes (of course!). My children often like the front of the box for jigsaws, so they can know where pieces go for more difficult ones, so I cut that out and fold it into the bag so they can see the picture still.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07513802945430040983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8962739086938003443.post-48193911900026803422011-07-30T16:53:29.011+01:002011-07-30T16:53:29.011+01:00That is sooooo impressive, Caroline.

I do realise a small company can't be so competitive in postal/courier costs, but £35 is a joke, or at least should be. We do refuse to pay that, even inverness gets whacked with that cost. Amazon are faithful to is to.

I have the 21 litre for some Happyland toys, and for some of the 9 litre I got the taller lids, which adds some extra space. I also have some of the 50 litre ones for dressing up and dolls things. They fit nicely under the bunk beds. I have quite a lot of the 19 litre ones, which are the same dimensions as the 9 litre, but taller.Caroline Cordlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17238153508197295121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8962739086938003443.post-16512398039092416282011-07-26T22:31:46.363+01:002011-07-26T22:31:46.363+01:00That was interesting thanks, which size of box do ...That was interesting thanks, which size of box do you use for storing your clothes in?
