    We've not had trouble with their deliveries but we still get them signing us up to their subscription service despite saying we don't want it. :mad: Mrs Shiney is no longer polite when talking to them about it. :whistle:

      I avoid Amazon after getting signed up to Prime without realising it.
      Total scam.
      They can get stuffed as far as I'm concerned.


      I'll just buy the same thing elsewhere.

        The work colleague that came round, scrounged a cuppa and then proceeded to tell me, that the greenhouse was in the wrong place, that they wouldn't grow that there, that I should try XYZ plant as it grows really well for them and I really needed a garden bench and a BBQ area.

            No, She ambushed me in the corridor at work.
            Next time a suitably sized planting hole might be useful.

                  Heard on the news this morning that the average household gets through 216 plastic bottles of haircare products a year. Plus loads of other products that are bad for the environment.

                  The figures published seem ridiculous to me :rolleyespink:

                  "The number of products used by the average British household each month:

                  The hair products:-

                  2 bottles of shampoo
                  2 bottles of conditioner
                  2 tubs of hair mask
                  2 cans of hairspray
                  2 tubs of hair gel
                  2 bottles of conditioner spray
                  2 bottles dry shampoo
                  2 bottles of styling spray
                  2 bottles of heat protector

                  Other products:-

                  2 bottles of shower gel
                  2 tubes of toothpaste
                  2 bottles of hand soap
                  A bottle of moisturiser
                  2 bottles of bubble bath
                  2 bottles of mouthwash
                  2 bottles of toilet cleaner
                  2 cans of deodorant
                  9 toilet rolls
                  6 cotton buds
                  7 cotton balls/pads
                  7 face wipes

                  Yet 61 per cent feel guilty about the amount of plastic bottles they get through as a result of their hair and beauty products, according to the OnePoll data.

                  But a shocking one in five wouldn’t even consider switching to products which are kinder to the planet."


                  The hair products seem totally unbelievable to me. :doh: I'd like to know what segment of the community they surveyed and how many people were involved.

                  Do any of you get through anywhere near that amount of product?

                    No way do me and mine get through that amount of hair products a month @shiney. I'd say maybe every 2 months, yes, but not per month and not all the products listed.

                    Toilet roll, cotton buds & pads and face wipes yes, we use those regularly.

                        I'm pleased to hear it! :loll::loll::loll:

                        I buy a 1.5 litre bottle of conditioning shampoo about once a year. We both wash our hair every day. We don't use any of the other hair products. So who is using up our quota of plastic bottles? :scratch: :th scifD36:

                        I don't believe it! :old: :heehee:

                          No! :yikes: Surely the hair products must be for a punk or such like! The cost must be horrendous.

                            I would guess it was a very limited survey done for some purpose and that they picked people that seemed to do a lot to their hair.

                            It's like the ads on TV that state that almost 80% of people polled said .... Then you read the small print that they polled 27 people!

                              I only wash my hair twice a week when i have a shower, shampoo and that's all i use, wash hair and use that shampoo to wash me little bits :biggrin:

                              They done a few survey near here about what's pasltic is in your carbroads, but people had to bring it all out and put it on sheets in the middle of their street and they then counted up what pasltic bootles per house hold and looking at what people put out it looked like the list that shiney has put up, Lots of pasltic bottles and most were for to make you look and smell nice, good job they didn't come here as they wouldn't beleive how much we don't use :phew:

                              Recycling is 1 wheely bin a month (about 1/4 full or 3/4 mt :biggrin:)
                              Rubbish has not been put out for just over 8 months :) usally it's about half a bin bag for the year :thumbsup:
