    Well, I do have a very big chopper, but I fear that I may miss the dishwasher tablet and chop my fingers instead which would be rather messy !

    Maybe we should package them up and send them all to the far more sensible Lucielle for her to disect all of our tablets !

    I've just come dashing over from Pinot's diary to see what all the dishwasher [STRIKE]drivel[/STRIKE] chat is about :D! And I have a suggestion that is EVEN BETTER than chopping your fingers off in the hope of saving fivepence!

    If you go to www.savvycircle.co.uk they are asking for volunteers to trial some new expensive Fairy dishwashing tablets. And they want loads of volunteers and the campaign only opened today so there should still be spaces. I applied for it today - they emailed me because I've trialled stuff for them before, but anyone can sign up, and they are very generous with the samples they send. :).

    Mrs happy we can always count on you to come to our rescue! I have signed up, slightly concerned as I currently have no dishwasher but thought I could perhaps trial them in the washing machine instead, but am wondering what questions they may ask me and how committed I need to be having never trialed anything in my life !! DFW please join me as a fellow dead dishwasher owner ! :rotfl:

    Thank you Mrs H! I've signed up! I think the F*iry tablets are the ones with the stick on liquid bit so there will be no cutting those in half.

    Incidentally, I wrapped a tablet up in cling film and cut it in half, it shattered again, but without the mess. Looks like the make I'm using at the moment is determined to remain whole.

    I remain uneconomically yours

    I'm just worried what I have actually signed myself up to seen as I have no dishwasher, but I thought it would be handy to have a few extra Dishwasher Tablets in the cupboard for when Mr Pinot actually fixes it !! :rotfl:Maybe I should have thought it through a bit more before getting carried away in the excitment of some freebies !!

    Hmmm Fairy tabs with liquid, that should be a challenge for Lucielle and her big chopper ! xx
