also, Firstcall photographic have their own brand mount board and are doing a special offer on them at buy 2 get third free, in packs of 10 not bad value,even with the postage which you suffer from as well as me

Thank you for the suggestions. The Olfa cutter is certainly more affordable, and I have found on Amazon and bookmarked. Same with the FC mount boards. I shall have to add sequentially over the next few months to my stock of materials.

It's important to me to rationalise expected outlay like this - in order for me to fulfil creative needs, to balance other pressures on very limited income, to stay motivated
