    If you have access to Makro they are doing two Oral B toothbrushes starting tomorrow. They haven't quoted the model number but one looks like the 7000 for £18.49 plus VAT and the other one is £6.49 plus vat. They also have a pack of 8 replacement heads for £12.74 plus VAT.

    Grrr, I put mine on charge at about 6pm yesterday and it's still not fully charged (the blue light is supposed to remain on when fully charged).

    The manual says a full charge is 16 hours, but it's been going for over 17 now :(

  • TJ Hughes have the Philips Sonicare 4700 for £30 from £80

    Surely a sonic toothbrush is better?

    Swizzle... Deluxe model is £64.99 online, but seen it in store for £50.
    Tripple points are only worth £7 something.

    I buy my toothbrush heads from Ebay, about £15 for a pack of 8. There are some new toothbrush heads out which have 2 bits that go whizzing around (dual action toothbrush heads) & they are pretty good at cleaning. These are the ones but I bought them from someone else a few months ago at buy it now:

    MERRY CHRIMBO.

    Can these be used on any Oral B toothbrush, i.e. could we use them on this one? They also had this on offer in Sainsbury's (not sure how much but more then the normal ones), didn't get any as I wasn't sure if they'd work on this one, anyone know?
    2p off is still 2p off!
