Oh and is anyone using face masks? I'm thinkin about getting these.
I havent been using a mask for a while now but though maybe it cant hurt?
should I bother with the 3ply? is 2 ply good enough?
Should I even waste my money?

Just noticed at http://www.the-home-brew-shop.co.uk/acatalog/Dried_Malt_Extract.html the LME link from first post now has 500g. I think they used to only have 1kg bags and they cost about 13 quid after shipping. Now they have the 500g for 6.10 after shipping

One cube syringe and one free for £14 shipped to my door? I think yes.

Bought 300 dishes from our man with the Petri's (see about 2 pages back for his email) and he also did me a great deal on a bunch of these jars:
 The one on the right is sterile and the one on the left is autoclavable (though untested as yet) thought they would be great for culture storage - both about 20ml. His ebay user name is "cheaplabstuff" - think he just changed it

No id on the plastic lids, but the sterile ones are one time use, price was about the same as you paid. Looks like he has almost run out of stuff at the moment!

Cheapest[price per unit(100g)] coffee I could find is this.
Went into poundland today. Got a 150g bag for a quid. Just a bit cheaper than the sainsburys.

It can be done, I've seen a few threads on it eg this one but I don't know what compost is best suited to it.
