Default Washing liquid dosing balls - Why not available here?! GRRR!

I haven't used one of these wee dosing balls:

http://www.aktivkemi.com/docs/mjfoto...ge1177.jpg.png

in ages as I've more recently been using this stuff:

http://www.britsuperstore.com/acatal...som_24pack.jpg


Up until today we've been using a toploader which came with the hirepack we were provided with, but today we took delivery of a new frontloader. So as the liquitabs aren't available in Oz (to my knowledge, correct me if I'm wrong) can anyone point me in the right direction to get a dosing ball, apart from getting someone to send it from the UK?!

Thanks,

Jen

I use an eco washing liquid and it comes with one of those little plastic ball things, so you can def get them here. I don't know if its only with the eco one I buy or with others, so keep an eye out next time you are in the supermarket.

Why not just use washing powder and put it in the tray?

Some people are allergic to the powder - I know I can't use it for that reason, have to use liquid.

Why don't you just put the liquid in the drawer, that is what I do and it works fine.

Won't hear any argument from me!

I can't believe there are two threads on washing powder. One of my major hates on BE is people fussing about sodding washing powder. Anyone would think Australians didn't know how to wash clothes before the Brits turned up.

Not having a go at you Jen. Like I said, one of my hates. Sorry I'll ignore this one like I have the other one.
