    Thanks a million people!!
    Have ordered mine via Quidco, although I could also have gone via Pigsback at 4 points per £. Now all I have to do is remember to phone them up as I forgot to add my Boots card number when paying!
    Seems you hae a choice between code ADCT83 and LYDM75 - either £10 off or extra 1000 points so works out the same. Would not let e use both at the same time.

    I was lucky enough to get a pair of the limited edition pink GHD's for my girls Christmas.

    I used them this morning and noticed there was a slight but defuinite burning type smell as they heated up - is this normal? it would be just the 2nd time they have been used.

    There probably will be a burning smell, its a bit like what happens when you put on an electric fire for the first time for ages. I wouldn't worry about it yet but do keep an eye on them and make sure you switch them off when you have finished using them.

    i've used mine a few times now and there wasn't any burning smell, so be careful with them

    Am i the only person who is disappointed with their limited addition pink GHD's??????? i was bought a pair for xmas and after all the hype I am not thrilled with them. I have wavy hair and after spending 13 years as a hair dresser ( out of the business now for 4 yrs) quite good at doing my own hair but my pair just don't seem to get very hot at all. my old pair are mark hill cordless ones which were fab till the coating came off! I have emailed GHD but they are closed till new year so wondering whether to sell them and buy something else? Any feedback would be great.:confused:

    Must be faulty. GHDs are extremely hot!
