Help!

Does anybody have a few corks they can sell me or know a website where I can buy just about 6 or 8 small corks and not pay £5+ postage?

I haven't been able to get on Ebay all day and I really need these by the weekend. Brick wall

(I mean like wine corks, preferably new ones, only around 2cm long - ish)

I don't have any Julie but can get you some from our chemist tomorrow and post them if that's any help. The post office and chemist are all in one and I have to go anyway so it wouldn't be a problem. PM your addy if you can't find any by morning. Very Happy

If you haven't got what you need, shops like Wilkinsons have them in their home brew section

My husband runs a pub so if you don't mind used ones just let me know and I will ask him to get the staff to put them aside for me.

Shaz and Norma - thank you both!

They don't really need to be new, but sort of clean-looking will do!

I want to use them on the end of mandrels - kind of bead-kebabs - for my stand at The Midlands Bead Fair on Sunday (so I doubt that plastic stoppers will work).

I'll pm you both now Thumbs up

Blimey woman, why on earth don't you just nip down to Maj and buy a case, and invite us over, you'd have corks aplenty then! Party time!
Nia. Wine cheers
