Good tip! I have an excess of egg cartons that people donate to me for eggs etc.

I have tons of tp tubes in a nice basket in the guest bathroom that I'm filling up with lint, crayons and used candles.

When you say lint do you mean the stuff the dryer collects when your drying your clothes?

If so I have so much of that and with 5 people heaps of toilet rolls!

Yep Lovechooks, that is what we call lint. The stuff the dryer collects when you dry your clothes. What do you call it?

It works really well. Our fire place is the only source of heat that we use, and we only use it at night. It gets damp here in the winter, and fires are sometimes slow to start. Those "firestarters" get the job done.

Yes we call it lint too, I just wanted to make sure you guys didn't have another sort of lint . Definately going to try that!
