    Cheryl it happens to me without fail.
    Any time I get sick of saving some odd thing and pitch it, the very next day you can be sure that I needed it.
    Love…..Jill

    I know what you say Cheryl.

    When I was in the UK, my dad had this massive cleanout of scarp stuff that had been sitting in the shed for eons.

    sure enough, a few days later, some bloke walked in and wants to buy any scrap pvc because he can’t justify buying a full sheet.. 🙄

    I had roughly the same problem a while back… threw the wife out then realized that the house got dirty on it’s own and my belly was rumbling so had no choice but to give in :lol1:

    Pink vinyl!!!! Everytime I buy it it’s normally for an arty farty job. What’s ever is left is put into stock and left for ages. When it gets chucked you can bet your bottom dollar a few days later someone wants the damn colour again. I really do hate pink! 👿 👿 😕

    Oh dear, that doesn’t sound good! 😕 Not a popular colour either I would guess.

    Horrible, isn’t it Dave. 😀

    But that was my customer’s corporate colour for about a hundred years, until they decided to change it in 2007.

    We can’t convince anybody else to go for it, so I guess some will get used for prototype and templating work, and some will soon be gracing the walls of our local primary school.
