Thanks doh me i can't remember how many tokens are needed is it 6?:o

Just 4, any day, but it doesn't say if they have to be any day, or can be repeats of some day... but to be on the safe side I would choose 4 of different days.

Ok Peeps

Just for clarification, there is NO £1 voucher off Bio Oil, on the SEL, it says £1 off one size bottle, £2 off next size up and £3 off largest bottle!

So those of us who like Bio Oil, we either buy it with points or shop elsewhere where it is much cheaper!:cool:

Got me the no 7 GWP

I'm there instore, with my list and voucher paperclipped in order :rotfl:

My OH came with as he is curious as to how these work?

So I'm lurking by no7 stand, grab 2x facial suncream while SA back is turned, make my usual quick getaway, and wallop! OH is in my way, so I walked right into him, and worse, saying in a LOUD voice, so whats the glitch on these?

I replied, oh I think its a bogof, and march to the other side of the store at a rate of knots to grab the TS shampoo/conditioner for nothing, shove them in my basket and shoot back to the no 7 to get the GWP, only to realise that OH is hot on my heels again saying loudly, are they the two for nothing glitch? :eek:

I stopped dead and hissed in his ear "I'll tell you when we're outside " :mad:

Wandered over to pharmacy where I got some witchhazel for bruises (OH's if he didn't shut up!) and got the nice SA there to put my purchases through


My vouchers combo resulted in bill dropping from £26 to £12 :j
with 596 points

Didn't check clearance, not without a gag for my loving OH's gob!! :rolleyes:

Needless to say he isn't coming with me again!:o

snipped
omg i laughed buckets at this.. my OH used to be the same.. now he just gets the Paddington Bear stare and knows to say nothing.. or he follows me with a basket silently! lol... you will soon get him trained, but thanks for the laugh!!! x

then when we get home I have to write it down so he can see how much I have saved, coz he just "doesnt get it" other wise... oh to be able to send him shopping alone like some of you lucky MSE'rs on here! :rotfl: I have to do all his "glitches" too or stand behind him prompting him which to split and which vouchers to use... he is getting there and has hold of his own ACM card now... poooooo that was a big mistake!!!! lol :rolleyes:

nuttyp

My OH doesnt get it full stop, cant for the life of me think why?!!!???!!

I have nearly £70 on my card, and DD has just got hers. She has the grand total of........ 8p. lol

Shes my new trainee, have to show her the offers that are mentioned on here!!

Waiting to get some bio oil for DD, and we go for pre op assessment again on the 29th so im going to chat to her surgeon about using it. Will wait on getting it till then.

I spent some points ! Feels very odd to be spending them rather than collecting! Bought a No7 perfect pedicure and some eye make up remover and got the GWP.

Great post, MissW, made me laugh - I'd never dare take my OH shopping!

Just wondered if you could give me some advice on the witchhazel for bruises - what do you get and does it work? Is it the liquid stuff, or a cream or what? I'd really appreciate some advice here - I have a sports mad DS who is permanently covered in bruises - even now,when he's just doing cricket and tennis, so it gets much worse once the rugby and football seasons start! I'd thought about getting some arnica cream, but baulked at the price, haven't heard about using witchhazel so grateful for your feedback. TIA!

Checked my Mitchums last night and only 3 of the 10 are the old size (150ml) so i was very lucky the SA overode the price on them. It is actually quite hard to tell the size difference and they were behind a reduced SEL in my defence. Went to a different Boots today and none reduced, all new sizes. Should be happy with my stash I suppose So just ordered some free photos (well 10p for 8 on 24hr service);) Great for sending to grannies etc

Oh no, don't cross it off just because of what I said...



There you go Clare, another point of view

I was really surprised because when I tested it on my hand (several times before I actually bought it ) it lasted really well and needed scrubbing off! Maybe I got a duff one, or I licked it off without realising! I really wanted it too!

I was asking because I thought if I found another one in clearance I'd buy it to give it another whirl!

Several people get on differently with different products - I adore the Dreamlash mascara for example and have no problems with it, but I know there are others who have had reactions to it.

Okey-dokey, Buffy! If I see one on clearance (ha-ha, fat chance round here lol:rotfl:) I'll treat myself - thought it might be pretty for my hols. It's back on my wish list.....

You can prevent a fresh bruise from spreading by rubbing in some haemorrhoid cream, it contains vaso constrictors which shrink the broken blood vessels under the skin, it's particularly good on new black eyes and will take down the swelling too.

I was going to say calendula (marigold) cream too but I think that's more of a healing cream for broken skin. It might come in handy for scrapes though.
My midwife recommended this for cracked nipples when I was learning how to breastfeed my first baby and I can vouch that it really does work takes out the ouch, cheesegrater effect very quickly too :rotfl:
