Hands That Do Dishes....

Thanks for your sweet comments on ickle olde me, as I thought would be the case, I have got shy again, glad one or two of you caught a little glimse of me ;0)
Wanted to pop on and let you see something I popped into my shopping basket whilst at the supermarket. Remember this advert  It was lovely to see the old bottles back out to celebrate 50 years.





Being a non dishwasher owning household, we do it the old fashioned way here, I am sure we shall get through many bottles ;0)

  2. I bought some coz I wanted the bottle - normally use a more eco-brand.

    I used to love the adverts and the little boy waiting for the bottle to be finished. Plus it reminds me of Blue Peter & their wonderful makes.

    I do have a dishwasher but actually prefer to do it the old fashioned way.

  9. Those bottles were the best for water fights in the summer... we use to rinse them out well and fill them with water and chase each other in and out of the few cars that use to be parked on mum and dads street... trying to squirt each other silly!

    there are loads of cars now, parked and bombing up and down the road.. things were so much more peacful back then.. ;D

    we still wash up the old fashioned way too!

  10. I bought some too - just for the bottles!!
    The old design was so much nicer than the current one
    Should we start a campaign to bring it back????

  11. I shall have to look out for some of that! I like to keep special edition bottles and jars.
    I love the smell of Original Fairy, it takes me back to the days when as a child my Grandma would bath me in it and wash my hair with it!!!
