Are you in the Manchester area & free during the day on May 6? Flash with Febreze want you to come along and create-your-own fragrance - plus get a £50 goodie bag

The guys at Flash have just launched a new Flash with Febreze range of cleaners and, when they were developing the product, the boffins there learnt from the teams behind some of the world's best-selling designer fragrances, to tap in to their perfume-making expertise.

This resulted in a cleaner which (for once) has a nice smell, leaving your room smelling fresher and cleaner for longer.

Again, they would like to offer Mumsnetters an insight into fragrance - this time in Manchester: how they can be made to last longer, the components of a fragrance and how different smells work. Don't worry they are talking about real perfume not eau du kitchen cleaner! We have already run events like this in London and in Birmingham - an interesting day was had by all.

At the event, a smell expert will give a talk about perfume and you will be able to create and take home your very own fragrance.

Everyone who is selected and attends an event will receive not only their own fragrance but also a goodie bag of domestic cleaning products & other goodies worth £50.

All we ask is that after the event you try the products in the goodie bag and then add feedback to a thread on Mumsnet.
The event is in Manchester: Thursday 6 May

At a luxury hotel in the city centre near Piccadilly station

Between 11.15am to 2.00pm

Sandwich lunch will be provided and you'd need to be able to stay for the whole session.

Travel expenses (up to £25) would be paid.

Creche facilities will be provided by Flash using a specialist company but we MUST know exact numbers and ages of children and any dietary requirements they may have before the day - please indicate below if you are likely to bring a child - and if you are selected we will confirm exact details nearer the time.

Please complete this form if you'd like to attend the event.

Please note: 6 May, as you probably know, is polling day which may mean your childs school is closed - please just bear this in mind if it's an issue for you

I think so, because in the others he spends most of his time in prison, and he writes the letter from Italy.

I believe we have hijacked this thread

As you were, Febreze fans.

Yay, we'll make some arrangements to get the tram together. We can talk about Hannibal Lector and David Cameron. Not that there's any similarities there of course.

Yay Dis! We get to meet each other at last!

Which kids are you bringing? Anyone for DS1 to play with?

I don't know... I can see some similarities
Although if I had to be locked in a room with one of them, I'd probably choose the rich cannibal rather than the rich slimy git.
Now, do I vote before or after? Decisions, decisions...

Fair enough Dis, I'm having to bring mine, but hopefully they'll be fine in childcare.

MrsC I'm voting after as DD really wants to come. She is quite upset that she can't vote

MrsChemist · 30/04/2010 14:34

Will she have to wait outside the booth, or will they let her in to watch you tick the box?

I'll probably have to vote after because my friend is looking after DS and she'd have to get here even earlier if I went before.

suwoo · 30/04/2010 14:44

Aww, are you not bringing him? I'm bringing both the boys. You know what DS1 is like though, can see him staying with me.

I have no idea if she'll be allowed to watch, probably not, knowing these bureaucrats.

I'm not worrying about what to wear clothes-wise. I'm worrying about what perfume to wear. I don't want to speak to a smell expert smelling bad.

I'm going too. Will be nice to see people again. DP has even given me permission to go shopping afterwards if I want... thinking about it this is turning into a habit. I went shopping for undies after the last meet up too.

We should have reasons to meet up more often

suwoo · 30/04/2010 20:13


Will dress kids in Boden for the occasion (the same tops they wore to the last meet up ) but I will no doubt be wearing Primarni or New Look or something.

Shall we revisit the fb group?

MrsC, I have spoken to DH re Hannibal but my findings are far too boring to recount here.
