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.
(I mean like wine corks, preferably new ones, only around 2cm long - ish) _________________ Julie :0)

Chemists having corks!  I thought we'd progressed to Imodium these days.

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  _________________ Julie :0)

I live in Scotland and everyone knows we aren't civilised here, lol.
Ok, our chemist has a wine making bit so sells corks alongside the imodium  _________________ Mamma x |

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!
