Hahaha well it's Clairol one. Used it just this morning. For something that gets used every day for my fringe, it's done ridiculously well. 

That's ridiculous with microwaves! I remember growing up that at Christmas we'd be choosing from the Argos catalogue what we wanted. We could never get the high end makes so we had alba as the cheapest then Bush the next up. So my parents always got Bush. Then I found out years later they were owned by the same company! A bit like buying the economy bread in the supermarket I suppose, some people will never do it, even if it's no worse than the supermarket's other branded bread. 

The art of fixing goods is definitely being lost.  

I can't help but I'm following the thread as I want to find out about it. 

I use Chrome. I'm on an Android phone and I like the way my bookmarks all match up on my laptop etc. It just makes life a little easier. I also use IE for my banking as it doesn't seem to like Chrome! 

I remember using Firefox and it used to be pretty good!

Awwwww I love spiders! Although it's easier to love them in this country as I know they can't kill me!

I am saying nothing.....only that no-one is perfect and it's only a forum, like social media it is fast moving and typos are to be expected, as long as your website is perfect it's fine 

I am hoping for an update to the situation....

I hope the meets with brides went well Izzy, not that you'll be looking at this work based forum until Monday now 

I didn't get as much done as I wanted as family life is busy at times and I have all 4 kids here this weekend so Sunday will not be a day of rest for me!

Sadly I don't have much choice as it's that and evenings mostly, while my children are still young! Childcare is extortionate and I'm passionate about being there for them as much as I can. Might give myself Christmas Day off though

I have lots to do this weekend, I'm a Mum to two small ones so I don't get heaps of time to work in the week and when I have a big job on the go I have to work weekends. I'm looking for some solidarity, who else is working this weekend? I will definitely need lots of tea and biscuits to get me through!

I was drying my hair this morning and I looked at my hairdryer and realised I got it when I was about 15, so it is 25 years old!! I just don't think things ever last that long anymore, or is that a myth? Do you expect things to last you years? I know my dad uses a really old Nokia phone still and is happy enough with it, he doesn't want a smart phone.

People seem to replace their phones regularly now, it does of course keep the economy rolling as people spend to replace items, but I am not sure it is doing the environment that much good. We are a consumer society whether we like it or not. There is a definite shift towards cheap, almost disposable items in areas such as a clothing rather than paying for better quality.  Although I know that there is a trend to use local small businesses for Christmas gifts, or at least I have seen this on my Facebook feed. Handmade, bespoke gifts are likely to last longer than mass produced tat, one would hope.

Do you prefer quality or is it all down to price? What's the longest lasting product you have? I am sure someone can beat my hairdryer!
