slate coasters
Hi everyone, i went to matalan today and found a pack of 4 natural slate coasters for a bargin £3, used them at tea time and my torts loved them , Girty 2 was even trying to eat it but it does go through me as it sounds like nails on the chalk board

Hey,
I got a normal bathroom slate from B&Q as you can buy those as 1. I turn it over so the rough side is upwards and the side you would usually see (the shiny, patterent side) is facing downwards because otherwise that defeats the whole objective. |
