    My showers don't even last 4.5 minutes.....that includes hair wash and conditioner as I turn if off in between:rotfl:

    I too was wondering what she did in the shower for 45 minutes. The presenters told them they needed to have 4 minute showers. I spend about 6-7 minutes as I have to condition and treat my hair with the JF stuff we all got for pennies!! They would save £7500.00 per year by doing the swops recommended. Struck me that the woman thought that as she had 3 sets of twins she was entitled to be spoilt!!

    I just checked mine and I have an offer for free daffodils!

    Hello everyone

    I've been eaten up by RL this last few days. Do we think it will be safe to do a razor C&C tomorrow?

    Purple Donkey, are you in Wales?

    Hi Bubbs :j:hello:

    I've caught up now and understand what is happening. I might just give it a punt!

    Night all. I am going to have an early night for a change. Sleep well, peeps.

    Evening All,

    I did my first couple of click and collect razor shops today, all good, thanks to the OP, I hope this one lasts a while. This was my first C&C for about a year, my local store has self service lockers which was a bit strange, no idea how long they have been there, quite quick but not sure what you do if you don't want any subs, presumably you then have to go into the store. You also get charged by default 40p for 8 bags even though my shopping only had 2 bags, can't complain with the free shopping though.

    Whilst there I did a couple of in store shops.
    Shop 1 was AvM.
    Thanks to whoever posted about the sweet and sour chicken and the plenty. No 7up mojito so got the sugar free one.

    I'm not even sure I will use it (not finding time to cook lately) but thought I might as well get some for 40p a bag after cash back.
