It definitely is basic cotton wool!

Advantages: Cheap, does what it needs to do.
Disadvantages: Have to use quite a few, bag is not recyclable.

...Boots Basic Cotton Wool is just 48p so is a bargain price for an everyday use product. The packaging is very basic and is a clear bag with the Boots logo & some information on the cotton wool (100% wool) and it tells you the contents of the bag (100 balls). Once I had ripped a hole in the bag I pulled out a couple of bits of cotton wool and was a little disappointed to see that they were quite a bit smaller than other cheap cotton wool balls that I have brought in the past. I use cotton wool for cleansing my face so I applied a little cleanser to a ball and begin wiping it around my face. I did find that because they were so small I had to use a couple pushed together just to get the job done. I did actually end up using more balls than I would with a different cheap brand and this was a disappointment to me as the price is not...

Review of Boots Basic Cotton Wool Pads

Leighsa tries more cotton wool pads...

Advantages: Passable quality, quite soft, low price.
Disadvantages: Little subtle bumpy bits in the cotton. Not really suitable for sensitive delicate skin.

...What are they? ************ Cosmetic Cotton Wool Pads by ASDA. Special Features? ************** Made from 100% cotton, claims to be soft and gentle, and ideal for delicate skin. There are 100 pads per pack, the pads do not have a stitched edging compared with ASDA's other cotton pads which are infused with Aloe Vera, and these pads are the same in texture on both sides and have a subtle striped texture to the pads. What do I think of them? ******************* These are quite soft to the touch but nothing out of the ordinary - they are very similar to the other brands that I have tried and I am afraid to say that these are slightly on the lower end of the spectrum in terms of quality. These are not bad, but let's just say, I have used better quality pads from ASDA and I would probably not buy these unless ASDA had...

Worthing by the Sea

Advantages: Lots to do for young and old, Kids love it
Disadvantages: Traffic is bad in the summer and Bank holidays

...A seaside resort suituated by the south downs. If anyone doesn?t know where abouts Worthing is or haven?t really heard of it. Worthing is in West Sussex, about 10 miles west of Brighton and is about 60 miles away from London. The quickest route is usually the A27 too get here. For an alternative route, take the A259 coast road. Having some family here, I spent a lot of time here on holidays. I remember having to travel down as a kid, and not being the greatest car traveller, I was always car sick. Worthing attracts visitors from all over, the summer months become very packed with visitors wanting to come down to the coast. Its especially popular for the bank holiday breaks. History of Worthing Worthing is mentioned in the Doomsday book, when the population was just 22. The population now is approaching 100,000 the town is...

Keighley Worth Valley Railway worth the visit!

Advantages: Wonderful periodic stations and rolling stock
Disadvantages: Is fairly short if you don't use the rover ticket option.

...Keighley & Worth Valley Railway is well worth the visit! In the heart of Bronte country is a small but lovely steam railway line, known as the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway. Despite its size and the area it runs through it is best known as the part of the filming location for the film The Railway Children. Although it operates mostly steam trains, it does also on occasion run diesel trains often used by the locals going into Keighley! As such there is a good concession rate if you do live within a certain postcode area, so it is worth checking up on. However, we visited as tourists, using Oxenhope as our destination station (you can have a round trip using any one of the main stations). Once we arrived we had some time to spare so went to have a look at some carriages and other rolling stock in a barn set off from the main...

Days of Worth - The Western Mechanism

Advantages: Strong, exciting, thought provoking music
Disadvantages: Being on the same label as Lost Prohets may put some people off this band

...It's funny that a band this great can be from a place as dull as Surrey. Days of Worth burst onto the scene with this album, and it is a truly fine piece of musical excellence. What with the angst ridden lyrics, powerful guitar riffs, demon drum beats, and immensely powerful vocals - this band will have you hooked. From start to finish this album really is a masterpiece, reminding me very much so of Hell Is For Heroes at their peak, with the strong elements of bands such as Jane's Addiction and Soundgarden. Days of Worth are a band on the almighty Visible Noise label - the same label as multi-million selling commercial giants Lost Prophets. They certainly rival this band in terms of there powerful transfusion of songs, highly powered vocals and all around commercially viable, truly brilliant tracks. This band possess a lot of power in...

Wii - Worth the hype?

Advantages: Unique gameplay and control, Gets people moving.
Disadvantages: Lack of decent titles, Lacking in some features compared to other consoles.

...I was one of the lucky few to secure myself a Wii on the initial UK release date. It's been well over a year now and the market seems to have settled somewhat. Chances are you could go out today and pick one up without having to wait for weeks. So, should you? Is it worth all the hype? Or is it just an overrated experience? A lot of people argue over whether the Wii is really next gen or not, compared to the likes of the Xbox 360 and the PS3 I think the majority would have to go with not. There is a noticeable lack of polish and refinement on the graphics compared to the 360 and PS3. No HD support. No DVD playback. The common trend with next gen consoles is the ability to play in HD, the ability to watch films and listen to music, they are becoming more media centre and less gaming device. The Wii's inability to perform these tasks...

Is this 'Worth It'? Well I think so

Advantages: Cheap, full featured, sleak design
Disadvantages: Annoying tendency to re-boot

...After my satellite dish was damaged in a storm last year, I had the choice between paying to get it repaired and realigned or finding another way to receive a digital signal. Now I didn't have the cold, hard cash to get the dish repaired, so I decided to go for a freeview box. A quick look around the High Street convinced me that the Woolworths 'Worth It' set top box was the best value for money at a paltry £16.99. It's now almost exactly a year later, and I'm still convinced that it was money well spent. The set top box itself is a lot more stylish than most (if not all) other low-end freeview boxes, being silver in colour and not too big (or small) to fit nicely on top of my television. Unlike a previous box I've owned this is also easy to dust, as it doesn't have any curved recesses or vents, not important to most people, but to me...
