Ordered a free sample of Soap Nut Shells for washing clothes instead of washing powder, only paid P+P (75p). According to the website its only 3p a wash. We`ll see how I get on with this as Luton has horrible hard water,It's not the despair, Laura. I can take the despair. It's the hope I can't stand. ~ Brian Stimpson, Clockwise0

Hi there, just catching up on some threads and saw you post about the soap nut shells, never heard of them before... so had a quick look and I've just ordered my free sample too!
Fingers crossed that they work and then I will be placing a proper order!!
Thanks!!0 -
What are you going to do with them? Car boot sale?
No, I'll wear them - I've come down a few sizes and I've not been clothes shopping apart from the odd charity shop and supermarket!

Today I....
Had a freezer surprise tea - we are seriously low on stocks until 'big shop' on Friday, have been away a lot so wasnt worth a shop last week, now I feel like i havent seen a fresh vegetable in weeks!
A NSD even though it was feeling more like a Twix day, I managed to avoid buying one.
(Note-just remembered I sponsored someone for £2 so kind of makes it a spend day after all Grr!)
Charged phone at work
Did all my money moving around so now I should be able to work with whats in my current account more easily.
Made lunch for work as per usual..
I need to step this up a bit I think...
Hope everyone is well! :jSimplify and then Simplify some more!0
