It's so irritating - I mean, do they think we won't notice??? But in the end, I keep buying it too. Along a similar line, is when Target has their special price markdown, and you lift the tag, and the markdown is the same price as it regularly is. I never buy it if they do that!Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00316052455388116886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570392943749021215.post-73610022014996294742012-02-04T14:56:39.842-05:002012-02-04T14:56:39.842-05:00I love your blocks!

I followed the link in the first comment here and those are the same ingredients I use except that the recipe I used has you keep everything in its dry form. The bar soap get grated and mixed in with the other two dry ingredients. So far I think it works fine, at least I haven't noticed anything to tell me otherwise. I do put the mix right in the drum with the clothes though, I found when I put it in the little "drawer" dispenser thing, it wouldn't all go through. I only use about 1Tbsp per load.<br /><br />Good luck!!<br /><br />Oh, and the bee blocks look great!Heather D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07536310683899818314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570392943749021215.post-30608657561407875442012-02-03T17:16:44.746-05:002012-02-03T17:16:44.746-05:00I love the blocks, and am jealous you are done for...I love the blocks, and am jealous you are done for the month - I love getting mine done as early as possible , but have failed this month!<br /><br />As for the detergent making - I have visions of a house full of bubbles!!Mrs Flying Blind...https://www.blogger.com/profile/15064004823351464643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570392943749021215.post-75249220634506376012012-02-03T17:03:59.584-05:002012-02-03T17:03:59.584-05:00They try all sorts of tricks, don't they?
The...They try all sorts of tricks, don't they?<br /><br />The one I can think of now is cordial (I don't know what you call it - a concentrated drink to which water is added). They have made it even more concentrated so one only has to use a tiny amount (which is good) but kids will be kids and will make it the same as they always did and will become addicted to the sweeter version and mums will end up buying more!Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07760744006915967397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570392943749021215.post-69507762681299727642012-02-03T16:28:28.357-05:002012-02-03T16:28:28.357-05:00I should think you do deserve a prize!
