Guys,
I know this little old lady in Devon that can reuse your egg boxes. If you can collect them I'll take them next time I'm forced to visit.

With work I go along the M4 to at least Reading (Basingstoke Junct) and going the otherway Bristol (sometime Swansea, but not if I can avoid a 4 hour drive). I go up to Cirencester and down to Trowbridge. So if you're in this area I can can pickup or arrange a dodgy exchange on a Motorway services.

We tend to re-use ours, but I'll let you know if we have any

Handy reminder, I've just gathered up all the egg boxes lurking round our kitchen to take back when we next go to get some eggs, I think he takes them back too. And it's not like we're going to be needing them any time soon IS IT GIRLS?

I save mine for chicken keeping friends, but suspect they may be getting overwhelmed with them! I'll check, and let you know.

No rush on this one I normally just chuck the boxes in the recycling which no doubt get turned into egg boxes again. Just thought Alison could reuse them. I have to go and see her soon as Becki has found some more houses she likes and I've ran out of eggs

We often were, although when they were in full flow so to speak they came in handy now it's a bit like a husband buying his wife some slinky underwear, a bit of a heavy handed hint that they wish we'd come up with the goods a bit more often. Such depths of meaning in a simple piece of cardboard.

I wonder if the B&B is going to become mysteriously and suddenly "busy" if you keep calling her an old lady?

Thank you Bugs. There will definately be no more room for HIM only Becki and the kids from now on! I am not that old you know. That said I can always do with more egg boxes, if anyone can get them picked up by Mark!
