Thanks, andante! I thought someone would know! Only problem is, the clips cost £1.69 and the p&p is £4.50 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) Perhaps there'll be something else in the catalogue I need (the people who set these things up know what they're doing, don't they?!).

They do have various shops around the country as well. You may know someone near one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

In my experience, one ALWAYS finds at least ten things that one absolutely HAS to have in the Lakeland catalogue *lol*...

Just had another look at your link, and guess what? A new Lakeland store has supposedly opened recently in the Oracle in Reading! Sounds like a good excuse for a shopping trip to me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Just got back from the beach- very chilly!!!

Had a lovely hot choc, and took some piccis for art, then found a hermit crab who came out of his shell! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)
And jumped about in the waves for a bit. I left my shoes off in the car on the way home, and now my feet are very cold and clammy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

The best thing about the Lakeland shop in Lincoln is the comfy chair I sit in whilst Sally is walking around the shop!

The lazy postman has just put my post and that belonging to the other flats through my letter box. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

When I opened my front door to go to the post office, there was a single spring onion lying on my doorstep. A gift? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Yay, got internet in my room *without* the help of a male! And I'm very untechnologically minded...! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) So proud.

that's good, Floss. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

My 'random comment' is that there seem to be a lot of undergrads this year who have parents going with them to registration, introductory lectures (they've not been allowed in the one downstairs from me and are standing in a gaggle outside), tutor meetings etc. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Is that normal? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

I can't imagine my parents coming with me to any of those things... 'specially not when they couldn't even travel down with me! It's been strange doing it all on my own, but it feels quite character-building...

I'm sure it is character-building - our daughter's just landed at uni, and is having a few trying days, but we didn't hang about for registration/lectures etc. We thought it was best to take, see her in the room, make sure she had some lunch (and so did we!) and then abandon her to it. (I don't think we'd have been very welcome for much longer to be honest! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) )

I do remember my mother being with me at some point on registration day - I'm fairly sure she came and saw my room in the hall of residence. If I remember right, a friend drove us up, and then they went off to lunch and home, and I got on with it (until the weekend, when I went home (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif))

I find myself writing some really bizarre stuff when dealing with foreign people via email who don't speak/write great English.. I think I must subconsciously try to match the style they write in to make it easier for them to understand. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) It seems to work, though.

My mum came to Leeds with me to move all my stuff into my room, but went back the next day.

Having parents at registration and introductory lectures... that would be so embarrasing and unneccessary (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

When I first went into hall of residence, the guy next door was moving in with the help of his parents. His mum was neatly arranging his undies on the radiator to air. Oh how we laughed about it afterwards. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
