I can and will do this!
Darcy, I saw a box of three vacuum bags in Poundland (Twickenham) today. They are in a grey/blue box. Dimensions are 38cm x 54cm. You fold your clothes to the width of the bag, then roll them up and line them up in the bag and then squeeze the air out. Good for light dresses, tops etc. I've bought some because I have a trip to New Zealand and the Cook Islands in October and my bag will be bursting with presents for the wedding, plus nieces nephews etc. Poundland also have larger vacuum bags (60x45cm) with two in an orange plastic bag in the laundry section. You need a vacuum cleaner to suck the air out of that type so probably only good for the outward journey. Remember to leave space in your bag for things you might buy.
Ooh, that sounds great - thank you
There is a Poundland near me, so I'll have a look tomorrow
