I made a crocheted rug for new grandchild. It was made up of 63 6" squares in different patterns and colours. Now I have been asked to make one for another person, who will buy the wool (about 30 balls of 8 ply) themselves, and pay me to make the rug. But I don't know what is a reasonable amount to charge...

Saw an ad somewhere the other day for a reel to hold extension leads. It was two discs together, that kept your power lead neat and tidy - yellow in colour, had a video on how it worked - does anyone know what they are called, and where they are available - I can't find the site - have googled but no luck.
