A bit of a random question here; does anybody know where I can buy the little polystyrene balls used to fill bean bags in the Bournemouth or Winchester areas?

My wife says that she has drawn a blank.....

Otained some small(ish) polystyrene sheets and bean bag balls from a Packaging manufacturer in Poole - we just turned up at the place had a chat with the 2 guys 'dumping' their company waste in skips and was given some for nothing.

We gave them something towards coffee/biscuits/few beers for it. If your interested can send name address in U2U - think they do sell the bean bag balls too.

Craft place is best bet. Although I'm pretty sure we topped ours up with a big back from John Lewis or somewhere similar scratchchin

I'm sure Hobbycraft will sell them.

Or even Homebase!

Where is it now then? It's not on Iford lane anymore and there is some "Party Superstore" just off Bargates, unless that is it?

Not in the market for beanbag filling myself, but did spot some at Dunelm.

Seems to be one in Bournemouth
Linky for location
