    Ive been with givaudan for years and they are really good to test for....the large questionaire is now sent every 2 years and previously it was an annula thing along with the perfume...however now its every 2 years we think that means the perfume is 2 yearly too!
    Its a french company and sometimes their phrasing can be strange and get lost in translation but they do offer some very good trial on things like fabric conditioners,washing liquitabs,shampoo,washing up liquid.They are basically quite fracrance orientated and will often send you email questionaires on the fragrances for air freshners etc.


    On the plus side too when you complete a trial and they receive your feedback you are then sent a £5 capital bonds voucher so all in all for some it works very well.


    It is worth pointing out though that this panel is for ladies only so...men you need not apply!!!

    They are defo the best company to trial for. I applied this time last year after seeing everyone raving about their perfumes on here :rotfl:
    I've just finished a deodorant trial and I'm just starting a washing up liquid one. :T

    Someone tried these a few days ago as that disappeared from A's .com but still scanned at 3 for £10. Sorry rubbish with names,
    I was hoping you'd come along DeeDee, you seem to be our local expert at the moment in A with regards 'real' prices, not what the websites say.
    these are deffo in the 3 for £10 in Sada.
    I mentioned these last week and someone tried as they were in store at the time. cant remember who it was now, i will try to look back.
    Another like minded A's glitch nutter. All we need now is FloFlo and we can all batter A together en masse in the morning.

    Does anyone know a safe time to do an A v T? Is it normally good to go as soon as msm updates or is there such a thing as a sensible time to wait until?

    Thanks

    I got this one too, its £54 for 50ml on Debenhams, the bottle they sent is 150ml

    http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_117295901299_-1


    Ive always assumed the bottles to be 100ml but TBH ive never really checked...its difficult to tell the size when they are sent in plain non descript bottles that have minimal labelling...

    thanks logie and smart1e,just got back from T's - after I had carefully got the iams and assorted banana,onion etc as fillers, went through the till then realised it didnt compare to W's. Numpty of the night award for me then!:o
    I did find a box of cadburys xmas biscuits that went through for 75p (on a different shop...I am learning) I went through the self scan bit and yet again got a recheck, I said I could never get past without a check and chappie said 'do you scan a lot?' (as if!) it seems if you scan then remove it flags up for a check :eek:

    cjj have you heard from daughter yet hope she ok ?

    When this happened to DS I was wanting him to come home so I could give him a big hug . He had been going out with g/f about 4 years and she finished with him just after his 21st .

    Trying to comfort them over phone and not saying wrong thing is so hard. :(

    No tweets she has gone silent on me :(. Not answering calls or text. She has let her grandad know she is ok though. Thanks for asking xx
    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.
