Oh,no, sorry they are as bad as mine!
I am still wondering what to do.
If I had seen them for pence on a car boot I wouldn't have bothered.


Wonder if they are all the same then.

Mine are the same I got them to refund the soaps but I did buy mine with the body mist, still kept the 500 points and wash bag plus the free gift hth

My Boots order is the same. The white wrap around the soap is dirty and I should have a free canvas make-up bag but was given a draw string wash bag. No mention that the washbasin us a replacement due to running out of make-up bags though. The box is battered. :eek: I was going to give that to someone.

The soap smells gorgeous though

Yes, the same bag, but was really grubby, didn't fancy it either.
Win some, lose some I suppose.


To be honest my shampoo order was dirty as well, I cleaned the bottles when unpacking, their warehouse must be in a right state!

I collected my shampoo 4 days ago but haven't opened it yet as I bought it for 2 sweet girls I'd better check out the boxes later then and see what's in there :eek: :rotfl:

I think the Orla K stuff is perhaps returns from stores. After Christmas there was a small glitch and I bought Orla K stuff then and it was exactly the same, dirty, grubby packaging and looked like it had been kicked around. I can't collect mine until tomorrow so will be interesting to see what shape it is in.

Yes I was dreading it, he is a world traveller and he has done numerous solo trips up and down mountains but I went over and over with him which entrance to come out of Euston, to look for the premier Inn we stayed in, to follow the crowds along and to look for a building that looked like a setting from Hogwarts

I got a message that he couldn't find platform A as the platforms were numbered rather than lettered. After giving very detailed instructions on how to reach the Thameslink platforms, he had thought he would try a different way!

I live in a hard water area and need help de scaling a metal kettle. I've never in my born days seen such a build up in a shortish space of time.

I bought a packet of descaler from Mr A, but to be honest it didn't do a brilliant job. Have I seen mention of using vinegar ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any vinegar will work. I once used malt vinegar, the kitchen smelt like a fish & chip shop.:rotfl:
Usually I boil the kettle, add the vinegar and then put the kettle in the garden.
