Use to cover your award winning apples on the tree to protect from blemishes

My spelling has a lot to do with how much I concentrate as I write - bit dislexic you see - half the reason this site came about I was given a computer by the uni for being dislexic.

Anyway - I digress blow up and use as a mould for papier mache.

Onya mate,

I am a bit, particularly as far as transposing numbers

My younger daughter has it worse that I have.

Try filling them up with icing and then snipping off a corner and using it for piping. (the bread bag, not my daughter!)

Well, in that case I'm glad about your spelling mistakes! And I get letters muddled, too - I generally have to double check before I send anything off. It's particularly bad when I've been switching between typing German and English; I make the weirdest mistakes then. (The keyboard is a bit different in German, and my fingers automatically want to hit the German buttons....) Anyway, that was a good idea about protecting the keyboard. When I wrote my MSc I practically lived on coffee and biscuits - ever so often I had to tip the keyboard upside down to get all the crumbs out!

Another use for bread bags: Storage of lab samples. (I'm just clearing out our lab freezers - and the number of perfectly good, but by now smelly plastic bags I have to throw out is sickening!)

I make bread some of the time, and when I do I put it in the old bags from the shop bought stuff.

Otherwise, as sandwich bags or poo bags, as already mentioned.

So how many do we have now, must be over half way to 101?

Emergency back up washing up gloves. (mend breathing holes first ~ dunno how but must be do-able)

Hey just had another idea. Fill with water and prick with little holes and use as a camping shower.

And...you could keep your tent pegs in one.

Collect a few and stick them on the wall for water proofing instead of tiles (in kitchen or bathroom).

I could, of course, say collect another 44 for that - that would give us the 101 uses we were looking for!
