Hair dye horror!
Well not really horror but:o I used a permanent hair dye a couple of nights ago, I really don't like the colour.

Dental question
My 12 yr old dd has just started wearing braces. The dentist gave her a prescription for Duraphat toothpaste, and asked me to buy Swirl mouthwash at the reception desk, which was £4.
