Feeling Feeble - And Old

[barry1010]

I struggle to squeeze shampoo and conditioner out of the bottles - especially when they are less than half full.
Am I feeble or is this a cunning ploy to make us throw out the bottles and replace them before they are empty?

Head & Shoulders - What The Funicular have shoulders got to do with it?
Just asking.

Look after your dandruff and your shoulders aren't covered in snow :)

It's anti dandruff so no white flecks on shoulders!

I use a rolling pin to squeeze every drop of tomato puree out of the tube

Cut the tubes in half

Sorted

Anyone remember toothpaste tubes made of some sort of metal?
We had a gadget that squeezed the last bit of toothpaste out.

barry, you have helped me in the past with computer & IT issues, so I know you are all there with your marbles & your mind is OK, start working on the body as well (it's all you've got otherwise).

Exercise your hands by squeezing a rubber ball a given number of times, increasing daily.
Start (gentle) yoga - I've done 15 minutes every morning for 40 or so years & I can highly recommend it, - guarantee you'll feel better. :0)

If you look online you can buy Tresemme in bottles with a pump top fitted x

Good grief, divegirl, the price of it

I find pump bottles generally unsatisfactory, they never seem to get the last inch or so out

hi barry, i am relatively young but have classic deformities in my hands due to rheumatoid arthritis so have had this problem for years. I do what someone else has suggested here and decant them into pump bottles. WHen it gets near the bottom i simply take the top off and the pump out, pour what i need out and then replace the top.
it works for most things with the exception of conditioner. With that i take the top off, pour water in, shake then apply. Those tresemme bottle tops are hard to get off though. I bought these a few year ago and they are still going strong Amazon.co.uk User Recommendation
Now, if i could only find a gadget to help with tops you have to squeeze and turn at the same time, like bleach or something to help me with cleaning type sprays!
