BritChickx 10,609 Posted November 22, 2011 I took a big bottle with me in my suitcase. I'm sure they invistigated it as the shampoo was everywhere (in the plastic bag) and the lock on my suitcase was missing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tulip 374 Posted November 22, 2011 Mine remained spotless without any ruffled baggage, so I guess it was ok! I did have a panic when I got to the coach station as it was snowing, and it looked like my bag had leaked! I had to check it was ok, thanfully it was. I was staying with my OH's family and felt a bit rude assuming I could use their shampoo, and I didn't wan to buy any, so I brought my own. 309/100 visa lodged 04/02/2013, living in Aus since 01/07/2013, visa granted 02/09/2013!
