There are a few things our Mummy loves - a lie in past 6am (rare), managing to eat her lunch without us hassling her for most of it (even rarer) and 10 minutes peace and quiet (now she's being ridiculous!)

But there is one thing out Mummy loves more than anything else......

Brown packing tape!

Now any Mummy who has two little terrors like us will know how useful this underrated item is. At the moment our Mummy is using it to tape up the kitchen cupboard doors, the fridge, the freezer, the washing machine soap dispenser (shame as soap powder tastes YUMMY!), the condenser on the tumble drier and the piece of laminate on the kitchen floor that we managed to get up.

We are thinking of marketing it as the 'must have' kitchen accessory (that along with jumbo elastic bands) - wonder if it will catch on?
