Thought i would start this for small questions that people might have, that dont really warrant a whole topic to themselves as such.

Ok so my first question is this....

I have a favourite pair of jeans, and the riveted metal button came off them yesterday, when i had undone them it just came off in my hand. Is there somewhere i can get this button, or another riveted button put back on?

I dont want to throw these great jeans away, they are my faves

Good Idea...

As for your jeans I'd think any dress making place or somewhere that does alterations should be able to help you Scottie

There is a little kit that does this job - the kit comes with the studs and a plastic tool the 'presses' the 2 halves of the studs together. I haven't had to buy one for ages and have no idea what it is called, but I do remember I bought the last one I had from Wilkinsons and cost about £3

you see this happened to me a few years ago and as all my tops cover the bit on my jeans where the buttons are i just found a metal button a sewed it on ...

I want to move the television in my living room but the cable for virgin isnt long enough. I phoned virgin and they want £75 for an engineer to come out and do it Does anyone know if it is possible to buy the cable yourself from somewhere? I asked if they could provide some cable because it was rediculous that they hadnt left enough cable on it, but they said no, it'd have to be done by an engineer.

I'd be grateful of any help

Thanks Matt, I wasnt sure if it was special cable that on Virgin had. Still cant beleive Virgin wanting £75 to do it - What a feckn liberty!

Im looking for ideas for my sons packed lunch. He is back to school on Tuesday and im desperate for ideas for a filling packed lunch for him (he is a growing lad). Bread and pastry not allowed.. as he has coaliac's (allergy to gluten) Any ideas anyone? My list comprises of salad, fruit, spuds, eggs and gluten free pasta so far. Any ideas for a cold potato snack or pasta?

Thx 8legs. Was hoping to keep away from them though, as he really does not like much of it. As soon as I get to those sections in the supermarket, he drags me away saying how much he dislikes it all (and we have tried most of them) The only special products he will eat from there is the pasta.
