'I MUST NOT BUY ANYTHING OFF THE INTERNET AGAIN!'

This past fortnight has been an endless stream of emails to companies for codes to scan to return things that promised the earth... and delivered a bag of rubble!

I'm not usually taken in BUT when things advertised on Facebook come up that I see friends have given the thumbs up to, I tend to think they must be OK.

That and the reviews... you know, “This pan scourer has changed my life,” and “I don’t know how I've lived so long without this toilet cleaner.”

So in for a penny in for a pound. That Magic Mould Buster did look good and how lucky was I?

I could get two tubes for the price of one if I bought NOW!!!

Oooh... and while I'm on this site (which, by the way, is in this country so it must be good right?) there's the toilet cleaner.

Never again will I have to hang a toilet duck from its neck round the rim of the loo, or change a bright blue tablet in a dodgy plastic basket that falls in every time I flush.
