    Its 250 ml of a body shop one for £1.80 a bottle.
    £60 DH petrol. £7.50 on 80 odd nappies. Mo Mo deal.

    I am a bit worried what happened to Gus's phone when he got half his head blown off.

    Today i am grateful for
    * free speech therapy
    *getting home early
    * fun with pipette filler bulbs. Kids were excited out of all proportion.
    * best timetable day tomorrow
    * packed lunches are done.

    Hey Alchemilla,

    Grr to the pesky buyer - it is so annoying when that happens. Funnily enough i've shuffled £3.10 around today :cool:

    Showergel - i don't know if thats a standard size bottle ? I pay £1 a bottle or less, i buy whats on offer and thats what my Mr gets too. But then we all need a treat every once in a while - its good for us :)

    I thought of your grateful things yesterday and i was grateful for a cat sneaking in and making himself at home on my lap making those great cat noises *bliss* :D

    I was not grateful for my assignment being marked so quickly - and have not had the courage to 'pick it up' as it were _pale_

    I think we need to define a new spectrum of people who are !!!!!! on eBay, so many unnecessary communication issues!

    Apparently that's not offensive? Yay!
  • Hi Alchemilla, I had visions of a massive bottle in the bathroom :A. Fully understand buying in bulk, you should see my garage :rotfl:

    Nappy deal sounded good.

    Best wishes Tilly x

    Shower gel is about twice the price of the cheapest but i suspect cost per shower is similar since it is more concentrated.

    Tilly Body Shop used to do gurt big 1and even 2l bottles of stuff.

    E this buyer is complaining about the colour of the item even though she agrees it is the same as in the photos.

    Hello! Yes DH has special powers. He once lost one half of the baby monitor and his wallet.
    Dog came back off the lead.
