    Sorry JackieO but Whittards closed down ages ago, not sure where the nearest one is now - prob Bluewater. x

    I order from them direct, but saw that Debenhams also stock Whittard products, when I was last in there, if that helps :)

    The Whittard branch in The Strand is still alive and well AFAIK, if you're ever in town, JackieO.

    !!!! just shows how often I go to The Dockside outlet :) I will have to wait until I am next at Bluewater or ask my DGD whose second home is there :) she adores B'water and could shop for England :):)

    Edited I just checked and Canterbury is my nearest ,so I will wait until I go to see my sis-in-law at Faversham, we can get a bus from outside her house every half an hour as parking in Canterbury is dreadful, but a good reason to have a trip out there ,perhaps when the weather is a bit warmer though :):):)

    If you've run out of detangling spray for little ones put a blob of conditioner into a spray bottle and add warm (not hot) water. Gently shake this to dissolve the conditioner.

    This is not for the faint hearted....

    Use the charity bag plastic wrapper ( the plastic wrapper the charity bag comes in) as a sanitary bag disposer. I always bring the sanitary bag disposer bag home when I am in a hotel.

    Lol. I use it for rubbish, in the same way as I use unrecyclable plastic food packets - great for containing wet rubbish.

    Another use for hair conditioner:

    If you have very frizzy or fly-away hair, use a small blob of hair conditioner to calm down/control your hair. Smear a small blob - about the size of a 2p coin - over the palm of both hands and then smooth it over the ends of your hair. It works just as well as Frizz-Ease, at a fraction of the cost.
    "Be the type of woman that when you get out of bed in the morning, the devil says 'Oh crap. She's up.'

    It ain’t what you do, it’s the way that you do it - that’s what gets results!
