Do Asda compare against Waitrose?
Just found the answer they do!
I notice waitrose have some shampoo on 3 for 2 I wonder if this might be a culprit causing problems with some of the Tesco 3 for 2 glitch.

Some handy hints.
Hair Gel uses.
I used to work in a factory making cheap hair products. The engineers in the factory used the hair gel as an efficient hand de-greaser.
I know this may sound strange but you could try using them instead of soap or shaving gel if you shave your legs. I had some gloss drops I didn't like and used them up that way, like you i couldn't bare to throw them out.
Paper glue.
I had a friend who swore by putting hair gel on her spots. No idea whether it ever worked for anyone but her, though!
Hair conditioner.
1. Shaving lotion. Why buy a separate product for shaving when an inexpensive conditioner goes a lot further? It works just as well as shaving foam. Really.
2. Makeup remover. Conditioner dissolves makeup beautifully and softens the skin without being greasy.
3. Cuticle softener. Rub conditioner into your dry cuticles. Ahh. Instant relief for dry nails.
4. Moisturizer. Speaking of softening the skin, conditioner makes a good all-purpose moisturizer if you're in a pinch.
5. Take the "ouch!" out of bandage removal. If you or the kids refuse to endure the pain of having band-aids ripped off, rub conditioner around the area and the bandage can be eased back gently.
6. Ring removal. Conditioner will get that stuck ring off your finger, pronto.
7. Fake tattoo removal. If your preschooler's so over his Diego temporary tattoo, use conditioner to remove it without a trace ... and without painful scrubbing.
8. Lubricate squeaky doors and windows. Out of WD-40? Try a dab of conditioner on noisy hinges and stiff, sticking windows.
9. Grease stuck zippers. Work a teensie bit of conditioner into a stuck zipper to get things back on track.
10. Soften leather. Conditioner can be used to soften and add sheen to any leather products, including office chairs, leather coats and car seats. Try conditioner on shoes in snowy, icy weather: it adds a layer of water-resistant protection between the leather and damaging water and salt.
11. Leaf shine for houseplants. Much less expensive than specially-formulated leaf shine products, conditioner cleans dust and grime from rubber plants and other large-leafed houseplants. It also adds a lasting, brilliant sheen.
12. Shrunken sweater first aid. Yikes! Your sweater shrunk in the wash. Don't panic ... and give conditioner a try. Dissolve a tablespoon or so of conditioner in a basin of water and soak the sweater in it. The conditioner might soften the fabric enough that it can be gently stretched to its original size.
13. Wash delicates. Use conditioner to hand wash lingerie and other delicate fabrics, letting you skip the pricey specialty detergents.
14. Chrome and stainless steel polish. Conditioner adds a very nice shine to household metal surfaces, especially faucets. Just polish 'till the conditioner residue disappears.
15. Rust prevention. Protect garden and home improvement tools from rust: rub blades and other metal surfaces with a layer of conditioner.
16. Soften paintbrushes and makeup brushes. Rinse clean, then work a little conditioner into the bristles. Leave for 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. This will keep the bristles smooth and sleek, and ideal for precision work.
Thanks to Mr Google for the above, and I take no responsibility for any of the above if they dont work.

Great post thanks .......... feel like I should go and get some sp conditioner now:o0 -

Yep, still working at 4.30pm today... I finally found some of the rose and it's just compared very nicely! :beer:
Also took a risk picking up some SP conditioner with Head & Shoulders colour care 500ml + smooth & silky 500ml after just 2 minutes trying to read-up this morning and thankfully did it right, so that worked too! Yay!
Thankyou everyone! :T0 -
