Gone from size 26 to 18:j

I have just lost my 1st stone, started diet 4 weeks ago.
Still plenty to lose, but determined, this time :rolleyes:
on topic, I weigh myself every Wednesday in Boots

Hi Pash,
Yup the whole of the T&G Model Me range is indeed half price :j
Wish they'd sort out the mag voucher though, tried to get use it earlier and was told it beeped because it cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer :mad: :rolleyes: How hard can it be to sort it out? Or at least make all staff aware the voucher is faulty and needs to be manually overriden

I would not be happy if I was T&G and had spent all that money on printing the vouchers to find they didn't work and it was down to individual SA's discretion whether or not they add the points on!

The fact that I don't *need* any more hair products is completely besides the point

Sorry but not absolutely sure. There was certainly a fair few reduced SEL's and I do know that the Jamelia Blow dry gloss stuff (it's very good!) was reduced as I thought about getting that but only had time to go once to the till and didnt want to do 2 transactions straight after each other - dont mind usually but Ive had a lot of bother with these MM mag vouchers.
Next time I go in I shall check and report back unless someone has mentioned it in the meantime. We go through hair products really quickly in this house, or should I say my 15 year old DD uses mine before I can get to it. I had some Aussie hairspray recently, used it once, went to search for it and found it eventually...in her bedroom bin empty. :rolleyes: Why are there never decent offers on Aussie stuff?:mad:
Or Kerastase? Do Boots even sell this range, dont think Ive seen it.


I am now going to be on the lookout for those ROC sets, is one of them better value than the other, in terms of what you get?

Oh yeh, meant to say after moaning about the price of that new L'Oreal hair colour the Excellence 10 min one, the price is reduced by a couple of quid! So now £5.99, slightly better but still expensive for a home colour that I can potentially !!!! up. :rotfl:

Aussie stuff is 2 for £6 online x

Sorry I know this isn't a bargain or glitch! I just wondered if anyone can recommend a good foundation from Boots and possibly cleanser, toner? I think the time has gone to spend my £100 in points! My skin is oily and dry and I do have a few acne scars. Anyone got any suggestions? I've tried a few of the No 7 ones and I'm not that fussed?
Anyone used clarins?
Many thanks

I have bad skin, old acne scars and red spider veins and I use Estee Lauder Double wear. EL will give you a sample in little glass bottle to try if you ask.
It lasts until you take it off!
I have oily skin and work as a chef and it never moves all day.
Its about £21 but it lasts me just over a year and I wear it every single day.
HTH, love Peg

Yeah Orangelily:j Well done.

So we dont get told off for being off topic:rotfl: . Can I say Bio Oil is fabulous for fading the stretch marks that comes with big weight loss. It is on Offer at a Boots near you.

Few I think we got away with it.

Thanks MSMOO

I did notice there was another 2 for £6 offer on actually but I guess Ive been spoiled with these great offers on other ranges, I am a greedy so and so! I would be happy if I was earning points at the same time but guess its not to be.

On a positive note Ive enjoyed looking at those finished baskets threads - some of them are amazing! I need to look for some cheap baskets now and plan what to give people. Those of you making hampers/baskets are you mixing the products or sticking to one range per basket?

Not sure if anyone has mentioned before, but the botanics wipes go through free on the reduced products. I got the botanics response facial for 62p and the free wipes.

Thats a proper thorough test! Im still to find my holy grail foundation - none of them seem to suit me and Ive only been looking since my teens!

Why am I nervous about going to the EL counter?

Hi
Not sure if this is useful to anyone but Southamptons main boots had the pink no7 jewellry box gwp for £3 and the newer no7 gwp mens and womens for £6.
There were quite a few at the back of the no7 stand,
Do you think the points vouchers inside are still valid?
