The third item.

Gaviem? Garem?

We're packing for a UK break and I wrote the list of 'Important things not to forget' about a hour ago Hmm

Help!

What the hell is this on my list?

I said fairies or fairy fairly early on....

You get a medal!

Hate to say it OP but The f is nothing like the f at the start of foil...

Acciocats · 27/10/2019 07:28

Are you sure someone didn’t sneak in and sabotage your emergency list? And why would fairy liquid be on any holiday packing list never mind an ‘essential list of things which must not be forgotten’?

Are there no shops in TN3?

ProseccoSupernova · 27/10/2019 07:45

Gloves?

ProseccoSupernova · 27/10/2019 07:46

Sorry just seen someone else already suggested that!

custardbear · 27/10/2019 08:42

Could it be gallery?

Trudij123 · 27/10/2019 08:46

@Acciocats I have A friend who takes things like washing up liquid on holiday ( or at least we buy it when we go and stock up on the way!) I’ve always wondered, but more often than not we need it - and she gives it all to me after, so I don’t comment !!

cliffdiver · 27/10/2019 08:55

I don't think it is Fairy.

We would not usually take it - I ordered a click and collect order which should have contained washing up liquid. But for whatever reason I forgot to add it.

We have a box of camping supplies at home, which includes washing up liquid. It's possible but unlikely I thought it we should take it from there instead on ordering.

Regardless - whatever I wrote doesn't look like 'fairy'.

We're self catering @Acciocats - hence the need for washing up liquid.

So people can wash their dishes 🤷‍♀️

BarbaraofSeville · 27/10/2019 09:24

Sometimes you take things with you, rather than buy duplicates of what you have at home. We have a dishwasher and use about one bottle of washing up liquid a year, if that. So if we had some at home, we'd take that, rather than buy a bottle it will take years to use.

But we actually have some in a mini bottle as part of the refillable bottles of toiletries suitable for flying collection.

Hope I haven’t not noticed this being said but perhaps ‘alarm’?

I remember once trying to make out a child’s name on a piece of art... they had written something like an ‘l’ right next to an ‘o’ but at different heights - it threw me for ages. When I finally ‘saw’ the name I couldn’t believe it had taken me so long 😆

Bellecurves · 27/10/2019 20:43

OP please just say it's Gaviscon so I can move on with my life.

cheeseislife8 · 27/10/2019 20:46

I NEED to know what this is now.

PumpityPumpPump · 27/10/2019 20:48

Grin Also hoping for a Gaviscon. 😂 Despite the previous protests that it isn't.

Moaningmeadowlark · 28/10/2019 02:13

I can't believe we may never know. My brain can't take the not knowing.

OverUnderSidewaysDown · 28/10/2019 02:33

Shaver?

Cric · 28/10/2019 07:40

Garmin do smartwatches??

BikeRunSki · 28/10/2019 10:02

@Cric, Garmin make things with GPSs in, so sat navs, running/cycling/hiking smartwatches and standalone GPS units.

saraclara · 28/10/2019 10:05

Damn. When this appeared on my active list, I hoped it was because the puzzle was solved!

PunishmentSnart · 28/10/2019 14:26

Has anyone said Garnier?
