    I found that I was itchy around the waist with jamis etc which had been washed in it. My BIL complained about 'around the waist itching' too. (My sister also uses it) Now that I use vinegar in place of conditioner we don't have any problems.:D Really good value.
    The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you.
    Thanks to everyone who contributes to this wonderful forum. I'm very grateful for the guidance and friendliness that I always receive from you.

    We are hoping to head over to Costco Friday and I'm really interested in the Kirkland industrial washing powder,
    I'm just trying to find out as I don't fancy having enough left over for 399 washes ;)

    If you dont like it or have allergy problems, just take it back for a full refund.
    For reference here is the warranty section from their website.
    Costco's Double Guarantee
    On Merchandise: We guarantee your satisfaction on every product we sell with a full refund.Costco is first quality and guaranteed by a full refund from Costco and where available, is covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

    (Effective 7th May 2008 , Costco will accept returns within 90 days from the date of purchase for the following items: Televisions, Projectors, Computers, Cameras, Camcorders, iPod/MP3 players and Mobile phones. In addition Costco also extends the Manufacturers warranty to 5 years on Televisions and 2 years on Computers and Camcorders. All other products are subject to the remaining manufacturer's warranty.)

    Another note on the refunds, we bought a golf trolley my hubby wasn't happy with and worried I didn't have the receipt.....took it back with no packaging, used several times, the Lady at customer service desk informed us that we didn't need the receipt....checked against our card and it's all on there on their systems. refunded immediately with no issues. Brilliant customer service!

    Any idea which charms they have? I have a Pandora bracelet and would like some more for it.

    Thanks!

    I'll have to ask my mam, but she got the heart one, the butterfly one and another one I can't remember.

    They also had the cat one, and some fruit related ones. (might have made this up!)

    possible stupid question, how do you buy the big stuff?
    I'm after a dryer, do you go to the check out and just tell them what you want?
    :o
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    I've never seen the iRobot Roomba in Birmingham or Edinburgh but I'd be interested if they did anywhere else!

    I've seen persons with them and Im in Walsall and my customers are coming from Brimingham - few in Sutton.
    When I was 5, my dad told me that the ice-cream van only played songs when it's out of ice-cream. Cheek!:mad:

    Well I've just bought my first Kirkland washing powder, it was a no brainer considering how long it looks like it lasts and the price! So will let you know if we're allergic.

    They also had additional vouchers for things going around such as OXI powder and Comfort pure for any who might need them.

    We bought everything on our list and while it did add up to 100 we will not need to re stock on things like loo rolls, kitchen roll etc for a long time, and we only veered off for a yard of Jaffa cakes christmas present :-)
