Answers:
You can get a lot of soaps, shampoo etc from Lush!.!.if there isn't a shop near you then you can buy their stuff online!.!.i'm vegetarian but i use all that kind of stuff!.!.I also use Kingfisher toothpaste which has no animal products and hasn't been tested on animals!.!.Holland and Barrat is your best bet for that but i'm sure you could get it else where!.!.i'm using deodorant called original source or something at the moment which you can get out of places like bodycare!.!.!.a lot of Simple products if not all do not contain animal products either which you can get out of most shops i think!.!.you get shampoos n stuff which i think are cheaper than the Lush products!.!.I hope this has helped a bit!.!.Good Luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com
I don't know about grooming products available in the UK, but here there are lots of natural brands that are clearly labeled as free of animal ingredients and not animal tested!.
As for whole grain bread, some is and some isn't!. You'll have to continue to be a good label reader!. Lots of whole wheat is made with honey, lots of manufacturers love to put whey in everything, and mono- and diglycerides may be of either animal or plant sources!. My understanding is that your labeling is better there than it is in the US!. I'd assume that if a bread is labeled as suitable for vegetarians, the mono- and diglycerides would be vegan-friendly, and then all you have to do is look for milk and milk derivatives, honey and eggs (which don't show up all that often!.)Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't know where to buy personal care products in the UK but I buy mine at http://www!.etsy!.com
Many breads are vegan, you just need to read the ingredients before you buy and check for things such as egg/albumen, milk, whey, butter, honey!. If you are determined, you can find many vegan food items on the shelves with all of the conventional items!.
I strongly recommend that you read up on healthy vegan diets!. Once you know your way around, it isn't any more difficult than eating a balanced omni diet!.

Dark green leafy vegetables can make it very easy to obtain enough of minerals such as iron and calcium!. They taste great thoroughly wilted in olive oil and tossed with a splash or two of balsamic vinegar!.
If you are not taking a b12 supplement, you should start ASAP!.
ALL vegetarians should take one regularly since most people eat meat, dairy AND fortified cereals but have a lower b12 status than recommended!.

Here are some links to keep yourself confident in potential of vegan diets!.

Nature's Gate products are all vegan, and so are Tom's of Main and Jason!. If you look at the back label it should say "Not Testing on Animals" somewhere on there!. As far as bread goes, read the ingredients!. Look for milk, egg whites, whey and honey!. Those ingredients are not vegan!. Good job on the cross-over!Www@FoodAQ@Com
Lush has tons of vegan stuff--shower gel, soaps, deodorants, shampoo, etc!. And I know Lush is available on both sides of the pond!. I live in the U!.S!., so I don't know what brands are available there besides Lush!. If you can get a Thai crystal for deodorant, those work on all but the hottest of days!.
I use products from J/A/S/O/N, Alba, Perfect Organics, Pangea Organics, and others!. For makeup, check out Beauty Without Cruelty!. Hopefully, you'll be able to find a great vegan online retailer that sells lots of stuff!.

Well, being vegan is VERY HARD!. I am a flexatarian, since I am not ready to give up fish!. But I remember trying vegan potatos!. there are vegan cookies, vegan blah blah blah!. But you should be able to use most shampoos!.
Go to http://www!.thevegetariansite!.com/ethics_!.!.!. for companies that TEST on animals, and DO NOT get them when shopping!.
As for Wholemeal, read the ingredients and see if the use milk or eggs, which I don't think it does, but ya never know!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
