    Yes debrag over £50 spend needed :undecided if tis the A-store ye're talkin' about, I did a just-over £50 shop exactly 2 weeks ago so i reckon it's worth it if u can budget in this way for over two weeks ;)

    If you'd like to GROW YOUR OWN SOAP in your own back yard, have a look at this - the rest of the website is a treasure trove of info on edible and useful plants. It's amazing how many weeds and ornamentals are useful and/or edible!
