A RAK is a Random Act of Kindness.

Woohoo; hubby came home with some shopping I asked him to have a look for the Huggies newborn packs at the boots close to where he works as the one near me didn't have them (and we're running low on baby wipes!)- he got 2 of them; each reduced to £2.50 (paid using points). I'm hoping to exchange the packs of nappies for one pack in size 3 - wish me luck! The socks are so cute but really tiny, they say it's 0-6mths size, dd is 5 months and they're way too small - will give them to SIL who's due next month.
And he also got 2 surveys! I never get those...!!! Don't get how he managed to get 2... has anyone ever won anything?

I'm sure there must be a catch somewhere as it seems to good to be true (but I'm a cynical old bird).

have u tried this sign up then verify ur registration by email about few hours after they put £10 in ur account delivery is £3.95p so go to sales ie cosmetics - dont worry when ur ten quid disappears it comes back few hours later

Nope, I had EXACTLY the same problem with all my old style Liplicious lip glosses, the new range is completely different and much much better

I'm being nosey again, what new colours do you have(as a lippie guru) lol

In the case of using your hubby's vouchers, you could always claim you're shopping on his behalf and forgot his card surely? No certain about ebay, as its something I don't do. And mostly only ever use my own vouchers, apart from two vouchers I used.

As far 'hiding' our bargains, I don't know if this will really work, as you always have your saving listed at the end of the recipit, so any beady eyed SA would see this? If you are only using your own vouchers then I think boots would find it very hard to challenge you as you are using them according to the terms and conditions (in most cases)

Mrs BB. IME most SA's will not scruitinise receipts if there is a healthy total.. but a heaving basket of goodies and a £2 odd total will raise eyebrows:o

yes I see what you mean hunni.....but I still feel that if a SA wants to be 'funny' and find a reason they will, be it because of a mass of vouchers, lots of items small total, lots of items, big saving ifyswim? At least if you're only using your own vouchers, and generally sticking to the T&Cs, even if they notice or complain about you, I think there would be very little comeback

I would recommend Clinique's Anti-Blemish range if you still get occasional blemishes like me. I haven't yet found anything to help acne scars, but Clinique's Anti-Blemish range is wonderful on oily skin, I LOVE the clarifying lotion! Also if you buy 2 skin care products from Clinique atm, you get a gift free and there is a little anti-blemish gift set Whilst stocks last though and I've noticed they're starting to run low in my Boots.

I agree with this.....to an extent. Just thought I'd add that I used to work on a Clinique counter and we used Clarifying lotion to clean the counter:rolleyes: (yes, you read right!). The alcohol content is so high that it's like paint stripper for the skin. I've had acne for years and have so far been prescribed 2 courses of Roaccutane with the 2nd course providing good results. My dermatologist recommended the following to try:

Bio-oil for scarring
All Dermalogica products (the Daily Microfoliant is particularly good)
Nick Lowe products
Murad (their spot gel/cream clears a breakout overnight)

I can personally recommend Clinique Oily skin facewash - is good even on the back/shoulders and I use it twice a day.

Revlon Colourstay foundation is good and lasts all day - as is the Estee Lauder one that another poster has recommended.

To be blunt, when Clinique counters use Clarifying lotion to clean glass/plastic to a squeaky clean shine, it's really not the done deal to wipe it across your skin!
