minus-squareTheEmpireStrikesDaklinkfedilink1•11 months agoYeah, we have a bag of bags lol In fact I have some old bags under my mattress! I don’t really use them anymore since I moved to reusables. One thing I don’t think the Irish do is keep a suitcase of fabric under the bed/on top of a wardrobe. There was a good sketch about it on Goodness Gracious Me, the “Bharrat Homes” one. Too true!
