1. It will cost me £5.99 to drive to my nearest shop and when I get here I will be incapable of carrying even a small item back to my car 2. I can neglect the plants I buy from QVC all summer long and they will still grow into something resembling a healthy rain forest 3. You will not find this...

I thought it was Quality Value and Crowngate ( picks at an open wound)

Wow £30! Just go on Amazon and buy a litre of Isopropol Alcohol for £11 with free shipping!

£96? I would want part of an actual Cambrian mountain for that price, not a part of a lamb

Many of the Karcher pressure washers seemed to double in price on the website around a month ago! So expect them to be part of this event!

I always recommend a good cup of bleach for the dishwasher and a hot cycle You'll have a clean kitchen too as it foams out of every crack in the door (Don't try this at home unless really bored)

I still have one of the blue dish Zilos on my kitchen window sill The cats will drink from it with days old water rather than the fresh and clean bowl they get once or twice daily In QVC speak that would prove the Zilo is healthier for cats. In common sense it just means the chlorine has had...
