I'm not sure about toothpaste actually, but better be safe than sorry. Do you have time to apply for some free samples from places? I'm sure some of the toothpaste companies send free mini samples... Can't remember when you're going.

Octopus, I have more shower gel/shampoo/tooth paste sample tubes than I can cope with so if you want some let me know and I'll give you some at our next screening together.

I just checked and my toothpaste is 75ml so it's perfect! So no worries, I should be ok.
Thanks for the offer, and, btw: welcome back! :kiss:

Just came back from Gran Canaria, in the Canary Islands, Spain. This is an amazing destination, that I would definitely recommend... specially coming back to London to be received by the rain! Those guys enjoy good weather almost all year round, and live happily in an island where taxes are low and stress is nearly obsolete! I want to go back... :p!

I know Muji (http://www.muji.eu/pages/online.asp?V=1&Sec=18) have them... can be a bit pricey though.
Thought I remember seeing them in Primark as well in a clear travel bag which sort of matched the ones you get at the airports...

Where did you stay? Did you visit the south part of the Island?

stayed in san agusta in marinasol hotel. managed to bag a cheapie from ryanair for £59 for two people return, so couldn't really turn it down. It was down south, caught the local bus service down from airport and stayed five days. Pool was cold but sea was lovely and warm.
