Available car - they had one available for us!

Advantages: Loads of cars, no hard selling
Disadvantages: You might get passed from person to person in the show room

...range of nearly new! We currently have a 02 Ford Focus and were looking for something a little bigger (but not too much, because at some point I?m going to have to park it myself!) and as new as possible. The show room and cars ---------------------------------- Hubby had his heart set on a Renault Scenic or a Focus C-Max, I just wanted something in a pretty colour! Here is where available car are genius. Unlike some car sale forecourts where you have to look around the whole place, available car have grouped the cars into MPV?s, people carriers, saloons etc, and they give you a map so you can easily find which section you want. Included with the map is a list of all cars currently on the forecourt with basic details. We went to the Sutton in Ashfield branch, there is also one in Castle Donnington but we didn?t need to even go...

Available Car Supermarket

Advantages: Wide choice, low pressure environment, competitive prices
Disadvantages: There's not enough of them about!

...and experiment with which style and model would suit us best. The ability to do this meant we were able to discount some models and settle on a Ford Galaxy. We decided to go and see if we could find someone to just run some prices past, and ended up going for the deal. We were a little miffed at only being offered a few hundred pounds part-ex for our mondeo, but we were advised if we wanted more from it - to keep it and sell it private as Available car would only really have any use for it by sending it to auction. The figures looked good, the finance was very competative and obviously the more cash you could send their way, the better the finance deal looked. We were offered a test drive, which we initially declined.... then accepted but chose not to drive it.... more sit and feel the ride. The sales rep was very knowledgeable about the range in...

Colouring with naturtint

Advantages: colours my grey
Disadvantages: price

...Yes I admit it I am going grey. I coloured my hair recently using Naturtint hair colour. Naturtint make a range of 24 Permanent Hair Colorants, from Ebony black , chestnut reds through to Blondes. It is also possible to mix these colours to get your own individual shade . My hair is not a vibrant colour its a greying mouse brown. Since this was the first time I was using this brand of hair dye I decided to play safe and a I chose hazel nut blonde. they don?t do mouse brown. I bought my pack from a health store. I think you should be able to buy it from health shops chemists and on line too, one site selling is http://www.herbsgardenshealth.com. I paid £9 for a bottle of this colour. It is more expensive than others I have used in the past .., but I think I have developed an allergy to one of the other hair dyes and bored...

Review of Naturtint Hair Colourants

Available Car Supermarket....Simply Fantastic

Advantages: Superb Range of Vehicles, Genuine Price Promise, No Hassle Staff
Disadvantages: I really can't think of any !!

..., colour, specification & mileage, they will match the price !! The car I had also looked at was £700 cheaper, the 'salesman' made a few phonecalls to make sure that the other vehicle was available to buy & after he had confirmed it was available he had to get authorisation from his manager to honour the price promise. A few minutes passed and when he returned he told me he would be happy to reduce their price to match the other car !!! They knocked off £700 !!! The 'salesperson' took a few more details and explained a few extras I could buy, such as extended warrantys, paint protection, bluetooth products & reversing sensors. There wasn't any pressure at all to buy any of the extras and once I had declined them, they were no longer mentioned. A deposit was taken, which would be the annual road tax, and a 'Buyers Pack' was put...

Colour Adapt Foundation?

Advantages: good pump on bottle to aid application, long ;asting
Disadvantages: hard to blend, quite thick

...I went for a Max Factor Foundation as I knew the brand as was intrigued by the 'colour adapt' part of the labelling. As I had previously found it hard to find a foundation that matched and complemented my skin tone (I'm fairly pale in skin colour), this appealled to me as I'm always keen to avoid that over made up look. The bottle looked good, with a pump for easy application. I went for one of the paler shades, that looked to match my skin tone fairly well. The foundation itself was actually a lot thicker than I was used too, and quite powdery. I thought that this would be good as it would avoid the greasy look that some foundations had given me in the past after a few hours wear, The thickness of the foundation meant that I actually found it pretty hard to apply. It was difficult to judge the reight amount that would give me...

Review of Max Factor Colour adapt Foundation

Colour Adapt Perfection

Advantages: Blends well, value for money,shades for everyone.
Disadvantages: re-application sometimes necssary

...I bought this product from a local Boots store for only £7.50. I had heard that this was one of the best foundations there is, especially for my fair skin tone. They were right. This line of foundation has an extensive range of shades from the ghostly white to the darkest brown, a colour for everyone. I managed to find my perfect shade quickly and efficiently without the need for testers. This foundation I found was easy to blend even upto my hairline and the small cracks around my nose. The visibilty was just enough and it's coverage beautiful. It was noticeable and because it had adapted itself to my skin, it gave my skin tone a look of perfection. It is exceptional value money and I would reccomend it to any woman who struggles with blending their current foundation or finding their shade. Removing the foundation couldn't have been...

Review of Max Factor Colour adapt Foundation

What a fruity colour!

Advantages: Doesn't smell of bleach
Disadvantages: Can be fiddly

...Having a flex day from work today, I felt that I needed some well deserved pampering. My hair is now starting to get quite a lot of grey showing through, so I decided that papering and dying could go hand in hand. Now, I am not really a miser, but I do object to paying £60 plus to have my hair coloured in a salon. And I just can't be doing with sitting in a hairdressers for 2 hours so I tend to dye it myself at home. Yesterday, I picked up a packet of Garnier Nutrisse Cream in Tesco for £4.99 (or you can buy 2 for £8 at the moment). The colour I chose was 7.3 Golden Praline, Golden Blonde. This is a permanent hair colourant that claims to be nourish as it colours, cover 100% of grey, has 2 times more avocado oil and provides a radiant long lasting colour. The colourant does contain hydrogen peroxide. The product comes in...

Review of Garnier Nutrisse Hair Colour

"COLOUR ME PURPLE!"

Advantages: Catches most of the excess dye in the wash; keeps clothes "brighter" and "whiter"
Disadvantages: Smell when first open pack might make asthmatic person wheeze; have to remember to use

...this product is, it will struggle to absorb the contents of a whiteboard marker, and will not protect clothes in the direct vicinity. A washing-net bag (often available at "pound" stores, supermarkets or from "Betterware®" and similar catalogs) is useful in keeping items from touching. Blotchy stains are often due to direct contact with an item. Wash whites and darks separately unless you KNOW they are colour-fast, and use lower temperatures when you can. Most washing products clean at lower temperatures now. This will not only help keep colours from running but is also better for the environment. I always separate RED polyester-cotton, cotton, linen and viscose items into their own load ~ there is no point in tempting providence. Even items you are reasonably certain are colour-fast might bleed if your washing-powder has been "New...

Review of Glo Care Colour Catcher

Colourful Designs

Advantages: Broadens a child's imagination
Disadvantages: Be careful they don't get lost

...of this set comes with a tabletop easel, which fits onto the carry case and keeps all the pegs safe. It also says it is suitable for ages 1 year and upwards. If you have a child aged 4 or upwards then the daisy set looks great with the same colours along with orange and purple too. The board is daisy shaped and the pegs are slightly smaller to give the child a chance to develop their dexterity. This set comes with 240 pegs. There is also another daisy set available. This one is also suitable for children aged 4 and upward. This set also has the daisy shaped board and six colours as in the previous daisy set, but this time it has 900 pegs included and they are half the size of the previous one giving you more room on the board to give your pictures more intricate details. I think you can still get some of the cheaper unbranded sets...

Review of Quercetti Colour Pegs

amazing colours

Advantages: brilliant book
Disadvantages: none

...Amazing colours is a brilliant learning aid for pre school children. This book cost me £4.99 from morrisons which i think was realy good for a book like this. There are parental notes in this book for the parents telling them how to best use this book, what stage a child should begin to learn things and lots of other realy interesting things. RED has a picture of a toddler holding a red umbarella, opposit this you have a page divided into squares each containing something red. A red fork, red car, strawberries, red shoes and a tomato. each square tells you a little bit about the item. on this page there is a pull tab on the side which asks you what colour are apples and you have to pull the tab to find out. Yellow picture is more detailed and is realy looking at tones of colours, in the big picture you have a little...
