Does anyone know when the Baby expert sale ends? I know it's probably Tuesday, but if it's longer, I could wait to try it again so as to get the new till spit (whatever it is) that presumably comes out Wednesday. This could be very helpful, especially if it's a till spit that requires a £10 spend!

hey everyone, member how i was telling you all about my thing on ebay, its not selling well i no some of you are watching it, so i am doing a special weekend offer, have a look on my item and see

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220256137602

your all fab!!!

It might work better if you got brand names in the title, and didn't do a surprise gift bag but rather listed things. People tend to search for specific things rather than browse randomly (at least I do) because there's just too much on ebay to "wander the aisles" as it were.

Maybe if you grouped items, like "No7 gift bag," or, if you don't have enough stuff to do one brand only per gift bag, try "No7, FCUK, benefit gift bag," then list the exact items you will put in that bag. If I were searching on eBay, something like that might get me to stop and look. But I wouldn't look at a "surprise" gift bag at all probably, though I might give it a glance if it were just £3 or £4 including shipping (and I imagine at that price it wouldn't be worth it to you to sell it). Most women have lots of little items they don't use as it is, and don't want to spend much to get a bag that might be all items they don't need, iyswim.

Good luck!

What did you do to make your nails grow? I have been trying for years to make mine grow.

Sally Hansen nail strengtheners works a treat for making nails grow!

I have decided to do a hamper or two for the ward/clinic/breast unit to raffle after my treatment is all over.I feel its a great way to use my boots stash:D
:A

What an excellent idea and very thoughtful of you dotchas :T

Maybe we could all do a dotchas goodie hamper and donate it at christmas to a local hospital - that way someone else benefits from all our boots glitches. I am gonna do a baby one - what with all the baby expert items that I have got for free due to the current glitch its a way of giving a bit back isnt it. I will donate mine to the special care baby unit that looked after my 3 month premature niece who was born in Dec 07. Will post piccies once I get it all together.

I've been lurking on this thread for a while. You guys seem to get sooo many good deals from Boots and their points! I want to get into it

I've always considered it expensive! Where do I start?!?

louby-lou-lou

I haven't been on the new thread as i'm trying to cut down but gave in and have only just read about's the sad news i really don't know what to say because nothing i say will help but just to let jill know that i am thinking of her and all her family, i am so sorry for your loss.

I do some work for Macmillan and marie curie cancer care who is celebrating it's 60th birthday this year we planted a field of hope of flowers and trees in our local area recently and it is a great way to remember somone by and to help the enviroment. We have a tree with a plaque dedicated to our lost loved one and we go to the tree on anniversarys and birthday etc.

I would love to get hold of some of the garnier products that some of you have been getting free and the elle gwp to make up hampers to raffle off if any one see any in the east midlands can you pm me please my boots are tiny and don't stock gwp's and don't have clearances.

Although i did get a huggies newborn starter kit for my sil at £2.50 the shelf said £5 i asked the SA to check as i had seen it although sold out at £2.50 in another store. She must have been in a mood as she said i don't need to price check it, the price is what the shelf says £5 but i asked her just to see and it came up at the reduced price.:j

Can I ask for your thoughts for my Dad who is having a op on Tuesday for an aneurysm (sp!) it has a 70% success rate and he has been waiting for this op for ever it seems! He has had the pre-op assessment and they are going ahead on Tuesday.... God willing

Hi Miss*Whisper. My Grandad has two aneurysm ops about five years ago (on separate aneurysms) and made a good recovery from both (and he's in his 80s!) Thoughts will be with you and your dad on Tuesday.

BTW I went into Boots yesterday to take advantage of the extra 500pts when you spend £30. I bought:

Clinique Superpowder Double Powder £16.50
Clinique Superbalm £10
Clinique Pore Perfector £12.50

Total £39, got 1000pts for buying three Clinique, 500pts for spending £30 but the Clinique lady refused to give me a GWP! The superbalm always used to be skincare as it is a balm rather than a lipgloss, but since they put it in a bigger tube it's now classed as make-up. Grrrrrrr!!!!

Particularly annoying as I asked if I had qualified for a gift and she said yes, then when I asked again at till (after she had put through) she said no, and when I said she'd said I would she said she thought I meant the extra points!

Sorry or mini-rant there, but I use loads of Clinique so feel that she was a bit mean.....:o
