I have another question for peeps on this thread. Someone is asking for donations of basic toiletries for the Ukraine refugees that have arrived here. They collect and sort things at home, and then take them to a "shop" in the local District Council offices. It is mostly clothes, but toiletries have been requested as well.

What do you use in the way of shampoo, soap, toothpaste and anything else that you describe as basic?

By way of explication, my sense of smell was enhanced considerably because of the Chemotherapy, so I tend to splash out a bit (:giggle:) on those types of things, and only use a small amount.

I would like to donate items that I would use myself were it not for my preferences regarding the smell. To me lots of items of that ilk, smell like disinfectant. There is a very tiny Boots here, a small Tesco, or I could add items to my Waitrose or Asda on-line order.

For instance what about Dove Soap, but is that too fragrant for men? :scratch:Your ideas would be appreciated, thank you.

Mens products I usually prefer Irish Spring, which has soap, body wash, and deodorant, and Suave for shampoo. I am in The States, but I think all those products may be on your shores as well. Mennen Speed Stik usually comes in Irish Spring. All are quite inexpensive.
 
The curtain wire is a bust for the steering wheel. The length is too small to get an even join, even with a reinforcing wire inside to try and hold things together. But I have found (and yes, I do keep such things as they are handy) the cardboard core from a roll of cling film that happens to be the right diameter. If I can cut either two thin sections or one thicker one with out the thing fraying, it might just do the job.
