    I put Morrisons weetabix into a proper Weetabix box, it's not really to impress others 'cos there's only me here. But they taste nicer out of the real box.

    I ran out of posh handwash the other day, so I refilled with Lidl cheapo blue shower gel. No-one's noticed yet ;)

    The only time I ever decant anything is if the original container is awkward to use and I can decant it into something I'm less likely to spill or get into difficulties with.

    Was this a contributory factor in his becoming an Ex?;)


    It certainly didn't help. :)


    He was rather prone to being a complete FW. My telling him words to that effect probably made more of a difference, though :D

    Not exactly a 'decant' but mum used to keep/serve her home made Irish Cream in a Baileys bottle, no-one seemed to mind.
