Toftbo...? strange name for a shower curtain

Advantages: Can be put in the washing machine
Disadvantages: it looks so good you'll want to redecorate

...I recently went to Ikea to make a few purchases. One of the things I came home with that wasn't on my original list was this shower curtain. I 'needed' a new one, wanted one that was macine washable and it had to go with the colour of my bathroom - teracotta. This one has all three. It was indeed new, I took it out of the packet myself. It is machine washable (see the additional information below) and it has colours that go with my bathroom and also adds a splash of contrasting colour too. The one thing I didn't notice at the time was that it didn't come with curtain hooks provided. I should have purchased some at the same time but luckily the ones I were already using were clear plastic so I could re-use them for this curtain. The colours in it are fab. Although my bathroom suite is teracotta with cream flooring...

Torn Curtain - Was It Really Torn?

Advantages: It's Hitchcock
Disadvantages: But not at his best

...Torn Curtain is an Alfred Hitchcock produced and directed film released in 1966 which starred Paul Newman and Julie Andrews as Professor Michael Armstrong and his assistant/fiancé Sarah Sherman with support from Wolfgang Kieling, Lila Kedrova, Hansjorg Felmy, Ludwig Donath, Carolyn Conwell, Gisela Fischer and Gunter Strack.

Whilst in Copenhagen Sarah finds Michael acting suspiciously and discovers that he has bought a plane ticket to East Germany and she gets on the same flight to join him without his knowledge only to arrive at their destination and find out that he had defected to Eastern Europe. She is horrified and feels he is a traitor but she decides to...

It's Curtains for me....!

Advantages: Lovely design. Co-ordinates with range.
Disadvantages: Thin, no lining. Only one size available.

...Having bought everything else in the Mama?s & Papa?s Roundabout boys range, I almost scrimped on the curtains. I say this because even though everything else in the range is overpriced I was quite horrified at the prospect of paying £50 for a pair of curtains that were almost too small for the nursery room window & weren?t even lined! Instead, I was planning on finding some material in a similar shade & making my own (well, having my mum make me some?.!). Then, whilst browsing in M&P one day, I found the curtains on sale for £35 & duly snapped them up. The curtains are 100% cotton, & a solid colour in the same shade of blue as the rest of the range. Each curtain has a degree of subtle embroidery featuring ?Bump? & ?Bounce? ? the 2 characters in the range & other features such as cars & road signs. There are hanging details along...

Curtain Closes On Shady

Advantages: Has some new music inc a nice end-of-career song
Disadvantages: Most of it is old songs (well, it is a greatest hits album)

...We had The Show, we had the Encore, now its time for the Curtain Call. As the expression goes, all great things must come to an end. This is the end of an era for one of rap's, and music's, biggest stars. In my opinion, he was one of the biggest stars of the music industry over the past decade, singing with the likes of Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg and also 50 cent. I grew fond of listening to his vocal talents ever since i heard him for the first time ( The Real Slim Shady). Now for the album review. 1 - Intro 6/10 The CD begins with another one of eminems concert style intros. This one has more of a 60's romantic style music, however, nothing special in this. 2 - FACK 8/10 This is one of the few tracks he sang especially for this album. He sings from a mans perspective about having sex with a woman and how he likes to f**k f**k f...

I SELL SHOWER CURTAIN RINGS

Advantages: CLASSIC COMEDY NOT TO BE MISSED. FIRST CLASS
Disadvantages: NO BOATS.

...(Martin) the Snob looking down and sneering from his position of wealth, and Del's (candys) travelling salesman (shower curtain rings) no worries lifestyle. Both eventually do catch their flight where they end up sitting side by side but not for two long as the plane has to land in Kansas due to bad weather (heavy snow) and so they find themselves back in another airport with Neal the one in despair. As there's no more flights that night Del (Candy) help's Neal to book a room in a nearby hotel which involves a taxi drive with an extremely loud stereo and the pair having to share a double bed together at the hotel (hysterical). After a long night they discover whilst having breakfast that they have been robbed and that all flights are fully booked. Del (candy) has a bright idea and recommend's getting on a train which they...

Curtain lights

Advantages: Looks aboslutly wonderful
Disadvantages: Tangles very easily when put away

...My mother bought a set of these lights last year from her local Argos store in Doncaster in South Yorkshire. These lights are extremly beautiful and can enhance the beauty of the home wonderfully over the festive period. Curtain lights are starting to become increasingly popular too as art decor in more modern homes too. I wenr to visit one home and they had them all along the wall of thier dining room and looked quite effective. One word of warning! Putting these lights away can be a nightmare as they tangle so easily as my poor mother found ouf for herself last year. So if you are planning on buying some of these please take extra care putting them away to hopefully avoid tangling. Curtain lights are now coming in a few more designs and are also available in a plain white or multi-coloured lighs. They seem to be...

Review of Habitat Curtain Lights

Right you 'orrible shower! . .

Advantages: Powerful, reliable, class.
Disadvantages: None.

..., so you don't need to order a special very expensive one from Triton. The shower is so powerful,it actually penetrates the shower curtain! The actual flex, which is chrome covered by plastic, seems to be still up to the job after ten years, although I may replace soon, mainly because it has been stained red from hair dye - NO, Not mine! The only other job I have done, was to replace the upstand that the handset fits to, this consists of two plastic fittings, with a length of chrome tube between them. The original seemed to be far too short for my liking, and seeing as I just happened to have a decent length of chrome pipe in the garage, it was a shame not to use it. The original one was less a foot long, but now is over twice the length, which is a little more user friendly, and it looks more professional somehow. These are...

Review of Triton T80 Electric Showers

a shower with milk?

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...Mrs B is a busy old bee right now that we have Baby B who seems to take up all of our time. It's not very often that she is able to find the time to have a luxurious bath and relax and she can't justify spending a fortune on luxrious bath products either but this doesn't mean that she doesn't want to actually have a spot of luxury now that she is so busy. Mrs B decided to treat herself to this shower milk last time we went shopping. After a very hectic week with a teething 9 month old Mrs B decided that she needed to feel human again and whilst we were in our local Sainsbury's she disappeared off down the 'smelly' aisle and came back with this bottle of palmolive. She declared that she needed it as she wantd to treat herself to something different to just a standard soap and that it was cheap and smelt good. Palmolive...

Review of Palmolive Naturals Shower Milk Sensitive with Almond & Moisturising Milk

Showering with Limes

Advantages: Good consistency and lather, easy to rinse off, didn't dry my skin out, smells nice, economical
Disadvantages: None for me

...Original Source makes a wide range of toiletry and bath products and state that they use essential oils in their products as opposed to synthetic fragrances. Their shower gels promise a shower experience that you 'have never experienced before'. The shower gels in the range include Lemon and Tea Tree, Lavender and Tea Tree, Mint and Tea Tree, Almond and Coconut, Dragonfruit and Capsicum, Winter (Vanilla Milk and Cocoa) and the Lime one I am reviewing. I also bought the Tea Tree and Mint one for colds but I haven't had the need to use it yet. The Original Source brand is now owned by Cussons PZ who also makes Imperial Leather products. I bought the Original Source Lime shower gel when it was on offer in my local Superdrug towards the end of last year. It cost me 99p if I remember correctly, I tend to make my purchasing choices...

Review of Original Source Lime Shower Gel

Getting fruity in the shower!

Advantages: Leaves you smelling like a fruit bowl.
Disadvantages: The hard to handle bottle.

...After visiting Asda on a couple of occasions and there being no special offers on shower gel wise, I decided to try out the Asda own branded type, with there being a choice of four I decided on two particular ?flavours? the review being on the first one. The shower gel I will now review is - ?Asda essential care, fruity raspberry & redcurrant shower gel? You will be under no false impressions when first seeing this gel, there are no frills and fancy decorations on this bottle, though the vivid colour of the gel itself visible through the opaque bottle being more than inviting in itself. There is the usual information to be had, this being brand name, product name, ?flavour?, and a short statement that this product contains not only moisturisers but natural fruit extracts, making this this invigorating and refreshing. The bottle...
