Trace,

To solve your bag of potatoes problem, I would use one of those little
clippets which you can buy from Lakeland or one of those pound shops.  They
clip onto the bag to hold it together at the top, but you can stick a
penfriend label on there and use the clip again and again.  You could also
use a small clothes peg for this purpose.

Hi

your ideas are similar to mine by the sound of it.

I've done some more of the memory sticks and I've started on the flash cards
etc, I'm not labelling them directly but I have a pile of small wallets that
I got from 7dayshop that hold four flash cards, each in their own little
pocket so a card with the label on can be put in position for each, can do
the same with the sd cards.

My sighted help is Mum and if she's ever not around and something's needed
urgently I think it'd be a good idea to have the important bits labelled so
if need be I could find things.

How would you label say a bag of roast potatoes in the freezer? you could
just stick a label on it but once the bag was used the label would be wasted
so, how do you do it so you can re-use them?

I was actually thinking the other day about the ammount of stuff we
sometimes have to take out with us!!

Thanks

Trace XX
