desperately seeking plastic screwtop bottle caps

Post: # 45279Post newbiemum05 »

Can anyone tell me where I might find some screw top bottle caps to reuse some bottles I have for cordial making ??
Can't think of anywhere and need them asap ?

I just use the one that came off the bottle in the first place.

How are you? Haven't seen you about for a bit.

these are metal one's I was under the impression (probably wrongly LOL) that you needed those plastic ones ??

Hey Shirlz - it's been a bit mad - Hubby is on PC ALL the time with his Uni stuff, DS is running around being a loony again (he was in hospital with his asthma again the other week) and we went visiting family around Christmas so just trying to get back to normal LOL

Just bought myself a copy of Preserved from thebookpeople.co.uk for £3 !
(I used a free delivery code from the internet a I got a book for the boy too for £2 called muncha, muncha, muncha) so dying to try out all the new preserving ideas !!

Hopefully around a bit more now the hols are over, how are you doing ?

ask at your local pub - they throw away bottles and caps when they refill cordial bottles.

I went to the book people after you mentioned that book, and bought it...and about 10 others! What a great sale!
