Advantages: Cheap, nice smells, good value Disadvantages: Not as relaxing as some bigger branded products
Introduction
Some of you may have read my reviews about the Co-op and how you can only earn Dividend money on the Co-op own brand products. Well that is why I purchased this Co-op Bath Foam Rainforest, at 83p for a 1 litre bottle it was a bargain on it's own.
The Product
It comes in a clear plastic bottle so that you can see the green liquid contained inside, the packaging is very plain but what do you expect for that price?
The screw top is easy to open and while I was in the store I unscrewed it to have a quick sniff, it may only be 83p but if it smells horrible why buy it.

We hung around a while until they shouted out our name over the microphone.

The inside of the cafe was enormous with waterfalls everywhere ...

The Walter Arms is a local pub and restaurant just close to where I live. You can find it on Bearwood Road, between Barkham and Sindlesham on the outskirts of Wokingham. It has recently undergone a substantial refurbishment so when I visited recently I was interested to see if and how it had changed. It is now described as a pub and restaurant with a hint of the mediterranean!
The pub used to have quite a cluttered old fashioned feel to it but that has all changed now. When you first go in you notice a light, airy modern feel although they have still retained a real fire which on a cold February night was very welcoming. The last time I visited was on a Friday night a couple of weeks ago with a group of girlfriends for a meal and a natter. As we were there a bit early we stood in the bar area and had a drink first but we could have gone ...
