Last night I was forced to invited out with some people from work and it transpires one of my distant colleagues knows one of my good mum friends. When I was explaining how I knew this friend she said;
"Oh you're the one with hundreds of plug ins that give x the almighty headaches....hahahaha" Hmm

She spoke like it was some in joke but this is all new to me! I'm livid. I know it's not crime of the century to have plug ins but I'm angered at the fact she's obviously talking about me to others. Should I let on I know or secretly seethe or get rid of plug ins?? more plug ins and turn them up when she comes Angry

Urgh, I hate plug ins, room sprays, car air "fresheners". All totally disgusting. Just open a fucking window. I'd much rather smell dog and fart than all that artificial crap being pumped into the air.

I'd say it depends how big your house is. I live in a house with a large open area and it's the only place I have one, it's not on all of the time but I do like the smell of it.

I came back off holiday once to find my MIL had put them in every plug up my house, when I was pregnant and I was a) livid she had used them all up as they aren't cheap (but I stockpile everything) b) offended that she felt the need to use them....my house doesn't stink. C) feeling sick because she had used different scents at every plug.

She's been advised not to do it again!!!!

I hate plug ins and any other artificial air freshener. They make me feel sick. The reason so many people get a headache from them is because they are filling the air with nasty toxins. They are bad for your health, your pets health and the environment. Bin them.

They wee also a fire hazard. My friend is a carer and at a fire safety training thing they were told never to use them, they get really hot and heat a strong chemicals are dangerous.
