350ml Purell Hand Sanitiser Gel Pump Dispenser by Purell
5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to be hygienic, 28 April 2013
I bought this product to sanitise my hards before applying eye-drops 4 times a day for someone who has had a cataract operation.

A quick press of the pump, a rub all over the hands and fingers and the odour evaporates instantly leaving me ready for action. The whole process is over in seconds. This 350 ml pot lasts a long time and I shall always have one in future for normal cleansing in the kitchen and toilet.

Andrew James Magnetic Multipurpose Clips / Memo Cl&hellip
These magnetic clips come in four bright pearlised metallic colours: magenta, gold, green and blue and are sturdy and sensibly sized. I bought two packs to save on postage and use them to clip lists of chores and shopping onto the fridge to help me plan each day of the week. Now I only have to glance up to see what needs to be done as green means go for the urgent task and blue means wait a while! I feel more in control of my life with impending tasks written down and I no longer have bits of paper floating off the table to get lost. They are cheap, strong and arrived very quickly.
