After following a link from another thread (sorry but I can't remember which one
) I've just taken delivery of 5 boxes from the carbolic soap company and as I know a fair few people are having difficulty sourcing this now that Boots is no longer selling items for home cleaning (or so I was told by an assistant last week) I thought a link might help someone who is struggling to buy borax locally:-
http://www.carbolicsoap.com
This is a wonderful site - sell loads of useful stuff......Borax, Reckitt's Blue, Lifebuoy Vinolia, Washboards, Dolly Pegs to mention a few items and delivery/customer service is excellent.
Hope this helps someonePeople Say that life's the thing - but I prefer reading

do my grocery shopping in asda and i must be blind but for the life of me i can never find an borax. do they sell it or am i just looking in the wrong place?"it's better than a poke in the eye with a pointy stick" - my dad, regularly throughout my childhood when I complained about something being too small/not perfect/not tasty/not what I wanted. he was right every time.

I get it in Tesco or boots if that's any help.Life is too short to waste a minute of it complaining about bad luck. Find joy in the simple things, show your love for those around you and be grateful for all that you have.
