Glass alternatives

[dotdash79]

What do people use instead of glass for aftershave/perfume?

Also we need to get a non glass mirror, so we can do hair/makeup/glitter has anyone got any links where we might get one from.

No, but if you have a smart phone can you use that instead?

I got a plastic perfume atomiser from Boots called a "Travel Perfume Pod" - works great for me.

If you search for "perfume atomisers" there are metal ones available too.

Also, just search for "acrylic mirrors" on Amazon, loads of choices.

Thank I've managed to find an acrylic mirror on eBay.

The atomiser sounds perfect

Make sure you get biodegradable glitter as normal glitter is made of microplastic and now banned at most festivals.

Hello crazyfool1,

Yes, I noticed that the link was a 'little' bit long. I've no idea how that happened. All I did was just copy the link thing in the thingy, and paste it on the site. OK, OK, I have no idea what I'm doing on a computer. I'm a Luddite at heart, and can't quite get on with this new fandangled IT thingy. 

Hope you are well.

Did you get another job, in the end?

Yes we do, we had a glitter station at our wedding last year and I made sure that the glitter was biodegradable.

Wow, that sounds like it was a result. Am I right in thinking that you got redundancy money, and then they took you back on? If so, then that's nothing short of genius!

yes correct ... I did have to sign a contract that was not quite so good in terms of flexibility requirements ... but unfortunately contracts in most jobs aren't as good these days ... I would have had to have sign that contract had I stayed anyway im contracted fewer hours now also but can pick up more in overtime if I want so yeah ive done ok

Nice one crazyfool1.  That's a result, I'd say. The management of the place must be off their rockers, or inept, or both! Maybe the company is making too much money to be concerned with the finer details though. I know that if I was making a stack, I wouldn't exactly be too concerned about the finer details, as long as that stack kept coming in.

My dad once mentioned that an acquaintance of his owned a pub that wasn't doing very well. So, the bloke poached the manager of a pub in the town that was doing a roaring trade. He offered him a significant higher salary to do this. So, the manager moved in to the pub and brought all his mates and customers etc from the old pub with him. So, the pub was now a roaring success. However, the manager was on the take ie. skimming off the profits of the pub. When told this the owner said that he didn't give a fuck because once he owned a loss making pub, and now he owned a profit making pub (despite the skim off). It just goes to show that you've got to look at the bigger picture sometimes.

Have a lovely weekend.

and you ... I would say the management is not great ...they are trying to change contracts all over the place with no real plan it seems ... although there must be somewhere .... but its all decreed by head office ... prices have been chopped so the next  way they can save money now is off the wage bill ... they dont like full time contracts so they have lots of 4 hour shifts going .. which are unrecruitable as they are not really much good to anyone ... especially people aiming to work and pay mortgages etc ... anyway the supermarket chain are bonkers in my eyes and if it were a small business wouldn't last 5 mins .. but anyway I could rant for hours on this subject but I won't cos ive done ok ..all the best Alex
