I've got this & it's lovely.

I tried this (bought 5 in excitement, you gotta Grabbit after all ) but am not a fan. The colour match predictably isn't brilliant, nor is particularly moisturising. In future I'll mix with my moisturiser (also a Poundland buy, but a v good one). Fine for wearing around the house though or on a down day when no-one really cares what you look like.

Might be handy in the summer instead of Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs.

Small solar powered LED lights. Ten lights on the cable and a small solar charger. For the garden.

You must have drier skin than me, it really suits my skin & the light shade is perfect.
I love you finding uses for it because you bought five!

This may be of interest (apologies if there's another forum thread, I didn't see one).

I watched "Pound Shop Wars" on BBC 1 last night (repeat from the night before) http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03wyybz

Chris Edwards owns Poundworld (and a very affable chap he is, too). Chris, and the founder of Poundland, Steve Smith, recently joined forces to launch poundshop.com. The programme highlighted the bugs and delays they had when people overwhelmed the site on launch day.

I remember seeing a discussion about this site on HUKD a month or so ago, and had forgotten all about it. Alas, there still seems to be bugs and "Site is Offline" pages coming up..hopefully it'll get sorted out as the official launch was a few weeks ago! http://poundshop.com/ (Standard delivery £3.65, Minimum order £10).

The "Hereforaday.com" female owners were the "first pound shop to go online" rivals, and I had to look up their website as it wasn't mentioned in the programme. (It turned out they did launch first, after all!). Their site is http://www.hereforapound.com/ (free delivery with a £15 order: otherwise £3.50 standard delivery). I think the free delivery over £15 is a winner, even their site selection seems a tad better currently.

I would recommend watching the "Pound Shop Wars" series, it's very interesting.

I do still prefer the thrill of finding something amazing in a pound shop, rather than online, especially if it's the last one on the shelf I'm spoiled though as I have a few pound shops quite near me.

Thanks for the reminder. I watched and enjoyed it too. Interesting to see that Harrogate was considered too high class to sustain a pound shop then the tills crashed on their opening day due to demand! We all love a bargain.
Must look at their websites (apparently there are a lot more online pound shops now)
Like you, I prefer the thrill of the actual visit rather than the virtual one

Just seconding the Gliss shampoos and conditioners, haven't found one that doesn't do the job really well. Seem to be in stock pretty regularly.

I've been trying the ones in the purpley-blue bottle - Repair & Volume for fine, flat, damaged hair. Was enticed by the liquid keratin etc and 0% silicones. Really like the clear shampoo (although it contains SLS which I usually try to avoid when my budget allows!) but am not so enamoured by the conditioner which left my hair a lot more tangled than my usual conditioners. Perhaps one of the other ones would suit my hair better but definitely worth a try for £1
