    That sounds scary - I thought babywipes were supposed to be gentle on the skin??
    Well, I finally bought some more washing powder today. Couldn't believe how expensive it was! My normal pkt of Pers$L Bio was £!2!!!!! NOOOO!
    Anyway, [EMAIL="D@Z"]D@Z[/EMAIL] was on offer at £5 - 42p cheaper than Mr T's own brand. It'll last me ages - but it'll need to!!!
    Resolution:
    Think twice before spending anything!

    I had to buy some more stardrops and soda crystals today, and also bought a bottle of fairy washing up liquid as Mr A had it on offer, but I was very pleased with myself for not buying any other offers, kept saying to myself 'you don't need it!' lol!

    I've made laundry gloop and tried it out on a couple of loads while I still have some ordinary non-bio liquid in the cupboard. It performed as well as non-bio liquid on 5 'white' polo shirts worn all year by DS2 ;-) That is to say they came out with black marker pen stains still on them but dinner stains gone! Deliberately didn't soak them as I wanted to see how they'd come out. (Got new shirts for September in next size in the sale, and I always say 'If the school wanted the kids to look immaclate, they couldn't have white shirts as the uniform'.)

    I've put washing up liquid in the shopping order for Friday but I've made the old bottle last longer than usual. Had a mild grumble from DS1 when I asked him not to use so much that the sink is full of bubbles afterwards - Bubbles are of course the fun part of washing up!

    I thank you for your understanding candygirl!:p

    I was finding the Stardrops a bit frothy when used to clean the loo!
