gtothec

Gah! my mailing has been binned! Can't believe it! all those lovely vouchers,

...perhaps it's been done on purpose to wake me up to my addiction:o

Anyway, has anyone USED the Umberto Giannai vials? They look good, but are they actually worth the money?

PS I will have a load of vouchers I'm not using that I'll post up tomorrow.
might have a pinkie too. I'll recycle the ones you gave me too Ikkle, if you don't want them back!

Had a pretty good day dont you think. I also spent some of my pinkies on the heated eyelash curlers so only 0.99 to pay as although the finish date is marked yesterday the signs were still up and they still went through the till and 1/2 price

I also tried to use the £5 pc and pinky till spit etc on a few of the xmas gift sets but sadly no luck hence the reason for buying the mascara and eyeshadow

The lynx and king of shave items I got were on the normal shelves.

So all in all, not v exciting but managed to get something for me and OH and the bulk of our remaining christmas presents with a nice points reward, so can't complain :T :T :T

Boots on the Moor in Sheffield have had quite a few No7 reductions-I managed to get two nail polishes and an eyeliner for £1.60 with a pinky, due to the 342 kicking in on top of the reductions :j

ALso got some benefit foundation for £2.50 :eek: but afraid there was only one

i have something i need to bring back and exchange which is £20. If i bring this back, and get the product i want to change it to which is £25, can i then buy something else at £25 and "pay" £30 (as £20 comes from the exchange) and still get the bonus 1000 points IYSWIM? Or does the till only see the £30 spend, and not the £20 credit. Hope this makes sense, as it seemed a lot clearer in my head before i wrote it down lol x

I would ask for the refund of £20 to be put onto a Boots giftcard then pay for the two £25 items using the giftcard and the £30 balance in cash. You should then get your bonus points as giftcards count as cash. If you can get a cash refund it would be simpler but a giftcard is fine as you want to spend the £20 in Boots anyway.

It should be fine even if you originally used a debit card or similar to pay for the item you want to return, AFAIK Boots should be happy to "exchange" it for a giftcard rather than insist on refunding your debit card.

About the UG vials, I used one tonight - I have VERY damaged hair, it is coloured and I straighten it every other day on average. The exlir vials smell very 'spa like', I think there must be some aromatherapy oils in them or something. Like I said my hair is long and damaged and I must say they did leave my hair quite soft and smelling quite nice. Although I did need to work a little conditioner through the ends of my hair to help detangle it a little. It does say on the box for normal/fine hair use as a conditioner or dry/damaged hair use before conditioner. I thought they would be 1 per use bottles, but I used about half a vial and my hair is just past my bra strap, which would work out with the glitch at 38p per application and they would make good stocking fillers. I wouldnt pay full price for them though there are better ones for £9.99 that you can buy. Sorry didnt mean to ramble so much. HTH xx

I was at Monks Cross too today Passion8 - they generally have a good range of things.

I got some S&G minis to go in little hampers I'm doing for pressies (and then the GWP for myself)

2 Sanctuary minis on 3 for 2 - for hampers as above

3 Natural collection nail varnishes to finish off handcare sets I've put together

Did Men's No7 3for2, got GWP and used £5 voucher off this - for pressies

Then did 3 for 2 on gifts, 2 are for OH, one for a friend's baby.

2 for £2 on Bodyform for me - boring but did get it over £50

Total £51.87 - saved £22.18 and about 1200 points

Then went to Estee Lauder counter and got the foundation, concealer and GWP I wanted with my points - only have about £2 left now :eek:

Good shop, lots of bits I wanted for pressies and extra points meant I could have the EL things - but no food etc - just Christmas music playing over and over again :rolleyes:

gtothec

Ikkle you are very very kind!
I will be using three of the loads you sent me, but I'll share the love with the others on this site, as I too have far too many bits of paper sticking out of my purse.
