Any other uses for bodyform ( apart from the obvious ?) - I'm sure there are a lot of us on here with an awful lot more of them at the moment than we require for their intended purpose and a few more ideas like this would be handy! ( I need to free up some storage space....:o)

They are absolutely brilliant for polishing shoes! I'm sure polishing or dusting just about anything, great for removing dust attracted to the tv by static etc, don't know about oven mitts though they might just melt :eek:

I caught the bodyform bug too, but something about seeing so many of them in my cupboard made me turn green....so I bought a mooncup. I've not used a single bodyform since. I do have a plan however....when global warming causes the sea levels to rise, I'm going to use them to soak up the floods...who needs sandbags when you've a bodyform mountain :rotfl:

I car booted alot of my bodyform and they sold very well. Bearing in mind they cost me nothing I sold them at £1.00 a pack and made a nice return as well as clocking up some tesco points when I bought them.

Living 50m from the sea and with global warming and the rising sea levels I might very well have to borrow some bodyform to fend off the impending flood.

Not for me you understand but the cat only has little legs and they dont sell water wings in packs of 4.

Hmm

I was a major stockpiler - but since January have been devoted to using up and giving away.

Now getting jittery at the thought of not having lovely piles of resources everywhere.

I think this thread has inspired me to go out an search out those bargains once more. Oh dear - I won't tell OH if you don't.

:shhh:

I always buy my bottled water in bulk; last Sunday I came home from Costco with just over 200 litres of the stuff!

Oh, and I know that drinking bottled water instead of tap water isn't moneysaving but I do try and spend as little as possible on it.

200 bottles....:eek: ...thats a lot of water... do you have to pre-order that with the store.... or do they just hate you for mrssing up their computer ordering system ?

AND.. where do you put it all

It is actually 100 bottles (they are 2litre bottles). No pre-ordering needed as CostCo is a wholesaler and has lots of stock. I have a nice little cellar to keep it all in; I do drink around 30 litres a week so it doesn't last that long.

well done that is some list my health and beauty items are all over the house so will have to remember where they all are.

Just found one £2.50 voucher and one £1.00 off a £4 spend beauty voucher in my voucher purse - gutted as I thought they had all gone.

I noticed that Netto have the washing powder on offer that you mentioned was it surf with the stain guarantee anyway they are doing 50 washes for something around £5 thought I may check that out soon
