During a shopping trip I purchased a bottle of Cussons Family Favourite Fragrance - Carex Chocolate Orange hand wash.
Started using it this week and OMG it smells just like a chocolate orange 
The downside is you think about chocolate oranges for a while after.

TBH I really cannot remember why I got it. I do tend to wait for these types of soap to b e on offer then get a range of flavours, that's probably what happened - I saw orange and thought Hmm orange.

... well I guess if we are now organic we better make sure we are germ free too
You might find him subconsciously licking his fingers
I don't like to think of vegetable oil or animal fat being mixed with a strong alkali when I am washing my hands, it scares me.
As for tablet soap, I have real trouble holding on to it, it often flies out of my hand and I spend hours chasing it around the bathroom
Gets difficult though if your skin has an aversion to basic soap.

and more to the point it gets all gunky and messes up the sink
I use this - it's my favourite childhood soap - in a bottle.
I like the smell of that Kaffy although I buy it in bar form for the OH. He hates the liquid soaps but I find the bars disgusting.

yeah - the bars go even squidgier than normal soap - I didn't used to mind as a kid (love the smell - and it was a huge luxury to have Pears soap back in the day!) but I've not used ordinary soap in years. I hate when I'm staying in a hotel even and they have those little bars.
Aww Petal. You're a delicate wee flower aren't you?
I take my own shower stuff but use the icky little cakes to wash my hands.

Today I have just finished this bottle of soap. As much as I like chocolate oranges I won't be buying one again - it was an experience, but I will reserve the smell to my hands post consumption of the chocolatey delight
One thing I have learnt is that it has taken me about 1 month to use the soap (based on thread post date stamp).
That means I will spend between ÂĢ10 and ÂĢ12 per year on soap assuming the same rate of usage.
...and at that point I now hear my bath is ready, so off for a soak.
Who's upset you then?
I don't think I'd like choc and orange soap - I woldn't feel particularly clean. I don't like peppermint shower gel either - it's like showering in toothpaste.
Recently I've been buying soaps in TK Max - they do have a really lovely selection of all sorts of smells and it's proper 'milled' soap (don't know what that means exactly but the bar stays hard and lasts for ages.
For me the convenience of a quick squirt from a bottle is what I need. I did the solid bar of soap route when I first left home, but found the liquid soap suited me better.
Used to use liquid soap,but I now use bars "Imperial Leather" usually it was 4 bars for a pound in the pound shop,but now it's three.
Everything is reducing in size/ volume etc but the price is the same if not more.toothpaste,shampoo, soaps.

Katty - Did you see the programme about Poundland? The researches found that they specially buy in their products, which are in weights different to supermarkets. On a comparison so many items were actually cheaper in the supermarkets.
can't use soap cos of my eczema - I've always been envious of people smelling of nice things while I smelt of chemicals

I do check the size and price in ASDA etc.There is also a store that sells some of the toothpastes etc for 89p ,cheaper than the pound shop.
