I think they can and that's why clippets may work better. I think I may try that route, though I do use bands for some bags, having to replace now and again when they snap. I usually find they don't snap until you take them off to get food out of the bag, then you find they are the worse for wear. They work otherwise and I don't mind replacing them now and again.

Hmm, hadn't thought of that, now, would the bands perish in the freezer? Just imagining all of the labels at the bottom of the freezer and not a thing labelled LOLOL Trace ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carol Pearson" <carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, November 21, 2009 11:10 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: penfriend questions-got mine to dayI haven't done this yet but would probably go for the elastic band and label method and tie it round the neck of the bag. -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx On Twitter: http://twitter.com/songbird49a ---- Original Message ---- From: "Spring.flower" <spring.flower@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, November 21, 2009 5:48 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: penfriend questions-got mine to dayHi 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!!

I've done all the containers with cooking items and all of my spices, gravys etc. For most things I have used the label on card method. I also keep a label on the back of my phone so that I can take a short bit of information out with me if I need. I have found it's not too good to take a long shopping list though as you can't stop and start without hearing everything, but for a few items (that you may forget) or if you need a code for something while you're out, I find the label on phone quite useful as long as I remember my pen as well! I am going to do most of my freezer stuff before Christmas as we'll have quite a long spell without sighted help during that time. I also want to do all the plugs in the house. Most of them have Braille at present, but you can't get much Braille on them so spend too much time trying to work out what the abbreviation meant! <Grins> Oh, I've also labelled a number of chargers that I can't stand mixing up and having to remember, though I have left those which sometimes have to leave the house in Braille only in case I don't take the pen. I have thought of labelling correspondence also and think I would do more of this if I didn't have regular sighted help. I hope this is of help to you. -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx On Twitter: http://twitter.com/songbird49a ---- Original Message ---- From: "Spring.flower" <spring.flower@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, November 20, 2009 6:55 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: penfriend questions-got mine to dayOK, what else have you labelled then? you might give me some ideas. I laminated a pile of cardboards to day, I can cut them down and then put a label on them for some things where it'd be difficult to put the label on the item itself.

This week looks possible though as it's almost at the top of my "To Do" list! -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx On Twitter: http://twitter.com/songbird49a ---- Original Message ---- From: "Spring.flower" <spring.flower@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, November 18, 2009 3:36 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: penfriend questions-got mine to dayHi, thanks, not doing too bad at the moment, my next job after doing the memory sticks are the plugs, I have that many connected to the computer that it'd be brilliant if I could get them all labelled so that if I need to unplug something to move it orwhatever I'll know which one's which, also, the plug for the sky box so that when the box plays sillies I'll know which plug to unplug.

I hope you will like it. You can just record a new lable over the old lable just re-record it and it shell overwrite the lable. Yes, your sockets are in that exact place let me know if you need any more help and I'll do my best to answer.

I haven't bought any more labels yet but what do you get in a pack of a or b? are the labels differently sized like they are in the ones you get with the machine? Oh, and, where's the headphone socket? in the flap with the usb connector? and the mic socket although i haven't got a mic yet.
