    Our Wilkinsons-Kent also has Borax, Soda Crystals and Bicarb in there too. And after talking to the assistants I was told they don't have any intention of discontinuing it in the near future either.

    (Morning pollsdolls, glad to see it's not just me who can't sleep).

    Anyway, my local Tesco Extra sell Dreft Handwash Powder, would this do? I buy it for a friend who lives a few miles away and can't get hold of it and even then it can be a hit or miss trying to get it.

    I mentioned this to the checkout assistant and she said if I phone the customer service desk the day before I come in or a few days before I come in they can order it in for me and keep it at the customer service desk for me so it might be worth asking.

    I've not had to do it yet, but there didn't seem to be a problem re the amount either, be it one box or twenty.

    Hope this helps.

    I'm after some borax for growing crystals. I'm sure you OS'ers must know of where to find it (other than ebay).

    Thanks!

    Hi ethansmum,

    I buy it in Boots too but there's an earlier thread that has more suggestions so I've added your thread to it to keep the replies together.
