Pepper grinder mill & salt shaker
In my local I got a trendy lime green set for £1.99, on box it said £6. Really nice set and a decent size too. HTH x

I suffer terribly from mosquito bites and have tried just about every product available. This stuff is pretty damn good, I bought it on amazon last year for £6, it's cheaper now but a bargain 99p in HB.

Every home should have a bottle of this!

Thanks for this... I suffer very badly from bites aswell. My sister is going on a South Pacific cruise this summer and has asked me for recommendations as she knows how bad I react, so I will grab her some too.

On the same topic.... I bought a 'zap it' from Home Bargains the other year, it gives a small electric shock to the bite site and worked wonders on my bites in Canada last summer. I've not seen them in there since, but if you see them they are defo worth a buy. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Zap-It-Mosquito-Bite-Relief-Device/dp/B000KU74K4 think I paid a pound or two and wish I had got loads more for the in laws in Canada as they loved it. Just wish I could find a decent preventative measure that doesn't contain loads of chemicals to stop getting bitten in the first place, I must have sweet blood or something cos the bugs love me!

I got a granite chopping board yesterday for £2.99. Really sturdy and an absolute bargain in my opinion. They also have a matching granite rolling pin which looked good too but I resisited temptation!

Thanks I also bought one of those last year. It seemed to help my kids but made no difference to me. V strange. This cream was part of the winning formula for me

And i found this to be just as effective as deet http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lemon-eucalyptus-skin-spray-100mls/dp/B001KSAV28/ref=sr_1_1?s=drugstore&ie=UTF8&qid=1331914532&sr=1-1

Sorry to go OT, but last year my husband and daughter, and a French friend, took daily vitamin B from about April. All three of them have suffered horribly in the past - no French holiday was complete without a visit to a pharmacy - and all three of them were hardly bitten, and when they were, didn't react.

Was just going to post about these!! I spotted them today in Penny Lane branch and was amazed at how solid & heavy they were for the price!

Have you tried Avon skin so soft Original Bath Oil Spray(original fragrance) works a treat for lots of people I know spray it on with your sun tan lotion and on a night before you go out
Spray it on some ants and watch them scatter
I have been using it for years and never get bitten
Hope I havn't spoken too soon lol
