I have just been told by my son that we have 2 bottles of Tresemme Shampoo left, how did that happen, im sure my kids have been using it as bodywash :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

So glitch fairy, if you are listening, please can we have another Tresemme glitch, as this is the only one everyone likes.

The 900ml are £3 in shoes so £4 for 2 if you include the voucher.
Is this too expensive?

Difficult thing for cleaners is that they have to travel between jobs during the day and that takes time out when they could be working. I found it far easier to get a cleaner to do 4 hours once a week rather than 2 hours twice a week.

As for rates of pay, each area seems to be different. So what is good pay in one area may be rubbish a few miles away.

We dont go anywhere less than 3 hrs, if you go 2 x 2 hrs yes extra travelling and you would either do upstairs once and downstairs the next time as you cant do a whole house in 2 hrs, as a rule a 3 bed house is 3 hrs, 4 bed usually 4 as they usually have ensuite as well

Like you Mhoc I am trying not to buy any toiletries or cosmetics. I have had a good look at my stash and found 2 L'oreal foundations I forgot about and a couple of Boots No7 BB cream, make up wise I'm sorted for the year. Toiletry wise, may need deodorant by next Christmas.. Shower gels should see me through until 2030:eek: and why do I have 6 huge hair sprays when 1 normal sized one lasts me at least 9 months??

I have been going through my stash this afternoon, I have so much stuff even though the best days of Boots points were years ago ...
Shower gel in theory I will never need to buy every again and I've got body lotion in every form possible to last decades ...
I have found one number 17 BB cream which seems to be OK, no reaction against it anyway - no no7 foundation and not even a tinted moisturiser.
Also my other stop gap, a few very posh foundation sachets which I can eke out to last a few days each but other than that fingers crossed the pound shop has something branded tomorrow

The trouble is toiletries are treat things we buy, stops us buying chocolate, cake and junk food so you really have to be self disciplined ....
