So I ended up adding these little produce bags to my order. They are brilliant :-)<br /><br />https://www.lakeland.co.uk/73241/Carrinet-Veggio-Reusable-Fruit-and-Veg-Bags-Pack-of-5Sue https://www.blogger.com/profile/04947919568474743963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4255134196392270372.post-18989780013501390002019-05-16T14:00:18.706+01:002019-05-16T14:00:18.706+01:00I am planning to make some reusable produce bags i...I am planning to make some reusable produce bags if I can find the right materials at a good price. I also need to make a few more tote bags. Heck I need to remember to bring the darn things with me when I shop. <br /><br />I need to check out the Madeline videos.

But at the Van I shop at the weekly market and put everything straight into my shopping bag, it's SO much better.<br /><br />I NEED to do a specific Challenge to help me change over in a more complete and comprehensive way. Madeleine is a good example to follow isn't she ... and they are a lovely young couple.Sue https://www.blogger.com/profile/04947919568474743963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4255134196392270372.post-46580739913949443732019-05-16T10:52:55.315+01:002019-05-16T10:52:55.315+01:00I follow Madeleine and use nay of her recipes, our...I follow Madeleine and use nay of her recipes, our nearest (and only) no waste shop is well over an hours drive away. Unless I planned a 4 monthly visit it would be counter productive. I do shop around for loose weight items, most fruit and veg and some salad stuff. My local Tesco are used to my cotton bags now and even the deli counter will weigh on their scales and then tip into my container and label it. My nearest greengrocers is pretty much useless and the local market stalls likewise. It is much easier for town dwellers but I do my best, we recycle everything possible and compost everything we can.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406981075860636289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4255134196392270372.post-47477725746571032322019-05-16T10:07:03.287+01:002019-05-16T10:07:03.287+01:00That's exactly how I always start, just tippin...That's exactly how I always start, just tipping out a cluttered little bowl of keys or the ubiquitous junk drawer that we all seem to have, and putting things in their right place or into the bin as a last resort ... although how many times I have looked at one particular bunch of keys and put them straight back into said drawer I cannot bear to admit to. I just know the day after I throw them away I will find a locked box ...<br /><br />Georgie edited the birth very well, there were no gory bits :-)Sue https://www.blogger.com/profile/04947919568474743963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4255134196392270372.post-44165158374014008292019-05-16T09:26:00.562+01:002019-05-16T09:26:00.562+01:00PS Meant to say, little Bella is just so cute.

But I guess it'll never get done until we actually start doing it! I suppose it would be best to concentrate on just one room at a time - actually, scratch that, just ONE AREA in one room at a time....a cupboard or chest of drawers or shelf even. Breaking it down into small bits like that might work...Soozehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03762391472811785736noreply@blogger.com
