The other evening I was at a friend's house, and she had a humungus bottle of Baylis and Harding hand cream on her living room table...I spotted it and said looks like you've been at the shopping channels again, well "No, she said for I change I didn't( as she has been known to have a bit of a QVC habit in the past...well tbh all of the shopping channels, and I thought I was bad!) Bought this at the chemist and i'm not that keen on it, but I did buy this, and reached into her bag and produced a rasberry handcream from none other than the "Possibilty" range...Ok, hands up, I did buy this from price drop, in fact I bought a whole set! I was amazed because we'd only been discussing the range at the weekend. She told me she'd bought a whole set of goodies for about £20 ish....Surpised I didn't see her name floating by on my tv screen! Even better than that she said was really pleased with the stuff, but the only thing she didn't like was the vanilla stuff as she finds it a bit sickly smelling, and asked me if I'd like it...(she is a friend honest!) I said that would be lovely but could she not put it in the bottom drawer to give as a present, she said no because as nice as the stuff was it was just thrown into a cardboard box...just what I'd said before. Not one to " look the preverbial gift horse in the mouth" said I'd gladly have it....I've tried and tested it....and as Peter Sherlock quite rightly said.....it's a good cheaper alternative that smells fab, the shower gel is particularly good and all the scents linger on your skin after your bath or shower. I tried her raspberry handcream too and that was pretty good as well...so a big thumbs up for the possibility range!
Another bit of luck left me with some spare cash, not a lot, but still..so I decided I'd try and take up the "find a bargain " challenge . There were a few things I needed so I scoured the website and found the following items
A regatta fleece (much needed for dog walking)
(proper) gold hoop earrings
Kitchen containers with interchangeable lids...keep losing lids at home and having to throw away useless containers
cheapo watch (sick of the sight of my gold plated worn out one)
2 dresses look very retro...I love retro ( they could be blinking awful though!)
The whole lot? £50 ...the p&p is free!!!!
Now I'll keep you posted, for now I'm remaining optimistic that the stuff will not be really terrible quality....wish me luck. If the stuff is good then I've definitely passed the test don't you think?
Hope my next thread isn't entitled "queueing in the post office"!
