Right, OK, here goes.....
I get so effing pissed off when I make the effort to buy something and then it doesn't fulfil the role it is supposed to. The idea of returning items to shops was never much fun but it becomes so difficult when you have a toddler in tow.
I have bought some of those storage bags which you (apparently) vaccuum (sp?) the air out of. I got them from the Littlewoods Index shop.
They are shit. I've just been sorting out the past two years of dd's clothes and packed them up into these bags. I could squeeze more air out than I was supposed to be able to suck out with the vacuum cleaner. It possibly doesn't help that the hose of my vacuum doesn't fit completely over the valve on the bag BUT, I am closing the seal with my finger. I'd expect to see some movement within the bag.
And with one of the bags, the plastic cover doesn't stay closed after I have (apparently) vacuumed out some air. So, the bag is faulty ANYWAY. Argh. I'm so pissed off (deep breaths, deep breaths) Ous house is tiny and I need to get these items back into the attic ASAP.#
Should I take the storage bags back to the shop (not sure I even have my receipt) and just put the stuff in the loft in blck bin bags? Sometimes things go yellow like that. How can I stop that?
Thanks, I feel a tiny bit better for offloading.
