Only in Italy could such a thing exist.<br /><br />Hi Jone,<br />I haven't heard of Acqua e Sapone here, but I'll have a look online as maybe they do have a branch in Calabria. <br /><br />Hi Sarah,<br />It was probably used to mop up a coke spill, or to be used as a ashtray or something!<br /><br />Hi LindyLouMac,<br />I am yet to have a good experience buying from Italian sites...Leanne was in Italy now in Australiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03240105726417037664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2945600374886655820.post-43882677692556662712010-11-09T17:26:22.800+01:002010-11-09T17:26:22.800+01:00Oh dear I feel another Italian saga coming on.

Or it got damaged on the shop floor and found itself placed back into ciruclation via internet sales.<br /><br />I'm sticking to amazon et al.

Unfortunately I wouldn't trust the Italian sites unless you know a few people who have actually used them. Stick with the UK sites it's worth paying a little extra knowing you're going to get what you paid for and they are also really good with returns. There's a store that I used to go to in Piano di Sorrento called Acqua e Sapone and I used to get my maternity pads (and babies nappies) there, they were much cheaper than the chemists and you could get a larger quantity but I don't know if that franchise is in Calabria.

If possible I'll buy from UK sites if the postage isn't too high. I think that here they're maybe just slightly behind when it comes to Internet shopping. I came across an Italian site where I could buy things online but I would have had to go to the shop in Rome to collect them - kind of defeats the point!Sarah Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17056904503443805398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2945600374886655820.post-82480462363962239792010-11-08T23:22:52.856+01:002010-11-08T23:22:52.856+01:00Hi!

Never had a problem and they deliver really fast. And I bought the passeggino on a spanish site and saved a small fortune. www.babytrain.es.<br /><br />Hope you get your money back for the maternity pads!<br /><br />AstridAstridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12889077261997269904noreply@blogger.com
