    Popped into M earlier and see that Brancott Estate Sauvignon Blanc is £6 a bottle, so still not a bad return if the price is picked up.

    Cushelle 180 sheets per roll, roll length approx 21.6 metres, 2ply

    Elite 170 sheets per roll, roll length 21.25 metres, 3 ply, also enriched with lotion and fragrance

    £80,000 per yr paid from Nicky sales to Woodland Trust

    But what decided it for me was using it. I'd always ignored it, being so cheap, then I was at a friend's mother's house and nipped into the lav, asked her what her lovely loo roll was, and had a bit of a surprise.
    Thanks for getting to the "bottom" line for me. Certainly good value, will bear it in mind when I am "pushed" for some to buy before I run out and have to "run" out and "skid" to a stop at a shop. Won't need to be "flush" to buy them.

    Soz, for toilet humour.

    I wash bedding after visitors have gone, so the bed is always made up with clean bedding. A friend tells me that isn't good enough and if the bed hasn't been used for weeks, the bedding needs washing again. I have never heard of this.

    Sounds like your friend has too much time on her/his hands!

    Incidentally I've got to do a Boden return - has anyone done these and if so how exactly does it work.
    I used a £15 gift card and £17 in real money so would I get a gift card applied to my account or would they refund the money bit? Or would it be part credit and part refund...


    I got a striped Breton top and pink jeans but the jeans are that weird very fine needlecord so they are going back

    Yes I returned a black blousy thing with sheer sleeves last week. It was that sort of fabric that looks permanently creased, so I returned it. I paid using PayPal and gift vouchers and my refund was returned in exactly the same way. Money went back into my paypal account and I have a credit sitting in my account:D
