    I bought some of these Jasper Conran Woman Gift Sets a while back with points.
    Intended to give them as gifts, but opened one to see what it was like.
    I have to say that I really liked them, so I used the pack that I had opened and liked it so much....That I kept the other sets too!
    The description of the fragrance says that it has top notes of lemon and ginger combined with base notes of amber and patchouli,
    creating a fresh, white energetic fragrance. Saw a similar set in Debenhams for £17.xx at xmas time.
    Also used points to get the mens fragrance which is also quite nice. HTH :)

    Thanks jazzteddy-im such a stick in the mud when it comes to perfume, always Chanel or Lancome but might give this a go (do have 1 or 2 points to spend after all ;) )

    Hi everyone,


    Went away last weekend and have been catching up on the thread since last Sunday!!! You lot can't half gossip!


    I've not been to Boots for over a week so may venture in tomorrow if I can get out of cooking Sunday lunch. Oh how I love spending the day cooking and washing up!!! :rolleyes:


    Has anyone seen any decent bargains in Leicester Gallowtree Gate branch please? :)


    On my catch-up I noticed some peeps saying how products they want to buy have been tested/opened/wrecked, well get on this one – I was in Morrisons today and a woman took the lid off some spray vegetable oil, sprayed it in her mouth, made a face and then put it back!! :eek: :eek: :eek: I was gobsmacked, I should have said something but I was lost for words. Sorry for the complete off topic.

    eekk how awful is that, dirty mare, what about the poor person that ends up buying it:eek:
    I luv freebies

    This is disgusting.... What a horrible thing to do. Pity she wasn't picked up on the security cameras and made to pay for it. Ugggghhh. I shudder to think what other productrs she 'tests' in a supermarket. :think:

    I completely fell out with a SA bout this today, tried 2 x no7 p&p aftersun at £2 each and used perkie but it just kept bleeping! She got someone else to try and called manager but the smug litlle madam just laughed at me and said read the back of the voucher! I stood my ground but she wouldnt do anything just had a smug grin on her face! Left it in the end as couldnt be bothered but judging by the above post is this something thats becoming more frequent????????????

    looks like I'm going to have to find myself a new hobby soon if Mr B stops us using vouchers against clearance items. He wants us to spend money earning them and spend money when redeeming them. I don't think so!:rolleyes:

    someone asked about ear plugs the other day. Sorry can't remember who it was:o I use these earplugs 10020470?wid=200&hei=250&op_sharpen=1when I go on holiday, because I am such a light sleeper. I also keep some next to my bed incase DH keeps me awake with his loud snoring (which he often does:rolleyes: )they only cost £2.15 and they work really well. I don't like the spongy ones. they don't work for me at all.

    I completely agree.
    I feel terrible now though, I should have at least taken it off the shelf but just didn't think at the time. Taking my 4 year old dd shopping with me doesn't help either as I'm always too preoccupied telling her not to stand up in the trolley, stop putting stuff in the trolly etc.

    I will be ready if there's a next time!

    Don't be. I would've been in shock too:eek: I hope there isn't a next time clare. I wonder how many people test cooking oil while they are out shopping:confused:
