That's what I thought. They are not too cheap normally, so it's a fair amount of money if you don't like it.beanielou said:
At least if you don't like them not too much lost.jwil said:I ordered the shampoo bar, body butter bar and face wash bar from the weekly email, so it will be good to try those when they arrive. I've never tried any of the bars before, but have been meaning to for ages. Just paying the postage makes it a good deal!
I have had a mars bar!
Hope you enjoyed the mars bar!"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee2 -
The kids are doing a before school club until half term, so I get an extra hour today! They both have school discos later (at separate times) so will be running back and forth a bit.
