It doesn't seem to condition my hair very well. When I finish the bar I'll probably try one of their others as I really like the shampoo bar I bought at the same time, just a shame they don't make a conditioner with the same scent as the shampoo.

Yes, I'm not sure why manufacturers do that either. I have a tea-tree shampoo. Its matching conditioner is coconut. Strange....

The closest seems like it would be the other conditioner bar they sell but its £9 for 100g which I just couldn't justify paying when I bought them originally to try them out, and it wouldn't fit in the tin anyway! But now I know I like the shampoo and so far occasional use hasn't done my hair any damage/left me looking like its greasy still/caused it to misbehave I'm more willing to try other varieties when I finish off the ones I have.

:shocked:

I don't think I could justify paying that ever. I guess I'm just a cheapskate......

And see which of the strange combination of scents work together.

No doesnt sound like a cheapskate to me, the one I did buy was about £3.50 for 50g but has already outlasted the four travel size conditioners I had which would have cost about the same had I actually paid for them.

That's still £7 per 100g, or, as I think about it, £70 per kilo (£31 per lb).

Not bad for something produced on an industrial scale from industrial chemicals.

Have I taken the romance out of it? :rotfl:

You don't re-fill them from the big bottles?

It's Lush, it's only partially industrial chemcials.... but I do agree, which is why it's not something I use all the time - my usual is the big bottles of Tresemme which is even bigger vats of industrial chemicals.

Like I said the travel sizes would have cost if I'd actually paid for them - they were all freebies, normally I do just decant some of my current product in to a travel bottle to take with me.

Today has been one of those days which has left me wondering how some of my customers are actually able to function without carers. Once again issues in the kitchen mean I couldn't use the normal crockery so we were on disposables. Had a woman come back, after being given a hot drink, asking to have it put in a china cup as it was "too hot" to drink from the take out cup, and if we didn't transfer it she'd be suing us if she got burned.

I resisted the urge to tell her if she got a burn from a drink it'd be a miracle, and that if she really didn't think she could drink a hot drink from a very substantial paper cup she possibly shouldnt be drinking hot drinks anywhere. Instead I smiled sweetly and offered her the lid to the cup she was offered when she first got the drink but had thrown away when she put her sugar in to it.

She wandered away still insisting that if she got hurt by drinking the hot drink she'd be suing the store.

The take out cups are of the pretty thick board type and pretty tough to squash so not like they're the flimsy ones which distort as soon as you get hold of them and slosh hot liquid about. Their rims are almost as thick as the rims of the latte glasses so again not easy to squash out of shape. And her drink was filled to around 1/3" below the rim so not over filled by any stretch, and we give everyone a lid for the take out cups when we give them the drinks. But after a couple of incidents when people have thought they were on securely when they've not been and ended up spilling the drink we put the lids on the tray next to the cup so it's up to the customer to put it on themselves.

I have a bottle of Tresemme as well. The ironic thing being it's the very small travel size...

I'm still using stuff up I've got out of hotel rooms. When I'm staying in a hotel, I just take my usual stuff.

On the bright side, at least you aren't wondering that about staff...

Next time you could just stick it inside another paper cup. At that point, the insulation is so good, it's only the weight that tells you that it isn't empty. I had an acquaintance one time who used to do that, fill the cup (with lid on) with lighter gas, then ignite it through the sipping hole. Obviously I sat well back at that point...

Was the washer broken then?

Oh am still wondering about the staff but I fear I would be getting boring and repetitive if I kept muttering about them on here.

Drain problems, and dishwasher stand frame broken so it wobbles alarmingly when you push buttons or open and close it. The frame can be fixed easily enough, I just need to get a screwdriver and reattach the cross bar and tighten up the other screws and bolts, but to do that I need a couple of strong people to lift the dishwasher off it first.

I see....your Area Manager making himself useful in the future....
