My Dad and I have a deal that every xmas he buys me a horse calender.
I still can't put it up and it's wrecking my head :x

Now a couple of years back I bought a pack of self adhesive hooks. In a pound shop. They were plastic on the back and had a thin metal, moveable, looped hook on them, thin enough to get through the width of a calender hole which is the size of a paper puncher hole.

I've been looking for them for nearly a year now, and can't get them bloody anywhere. Calender keeps falling off the surface due to cellotape/blue tac not being able to keep it up.

Before I go on ebay and buy them at a stupid price, does anyone know where I can get them? (they don't necessarily have to be metal) Remember, there are loads on the market, but they dont fit through a hole that size. If I cut the holes bigger it just rips under the weight and will never hang again.

Thanks!
