What about getting some packs of NO 7 facial wipes to use up your pinkies? They are good for cleaning upvc windows/woodwork/taps etc. Also really good as handwipes for in the car.

Thank you darling. I think it's £1.50 and a PINKIE for a pack if I am correct? I know they do super cheap ones that do the trick at Quality Save/Home Bargains and that's where I tend to get them from.

Good idea about the raffles and the local charities, but I tend to donate money as I prefer to do it that way.

Will probably just hand them out to work friends (some of the ladies are single parents who struggle) if I can't think of anything to buy with them.

Thanks for all the advice ladies. Keep it up.

Good advice BTVB, but Lady Mimi does not use cosmetics or anything like that. She's always had gorgeous skin and all that (where do you think I get my good looks from!) and she just uses water and soap. Anyway, for my 20 PINKIES, what am I going to use my horde of points on? Eeeek!

Cleaning and dusting done, cooking done. Now what? I want to go to BOOTS! HELP.

Hmm.... :think:

You could send them to me! :whistle:

Aww mimi i think its a lovely idea to give some to friends at work. :T You tend to take for granted that not everyone obsesses about boots the way we do, or spends as much money or time in it, and therefore a pinky is still a real treat to them. Its much better to do that than throw them in the bin or waste money yourself by buying stuff just to get rid of them.:eek:

On another note i received my 3 R&M sets from dot.com this afternoon.:D I opened them all to check them as someone had posted about the eyeshadows being broken up, but they were all fine. So i've added two to my present stash and one to my own personal stash :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

thanks to everyone for all the info. had 3 really good shops today

shop1:
soap & glory clean on me x 2
soap & glory calm one calm all
soap & glory GWP
got a pinkie

shop 2:
mens No7 hair and body wash x 3
GWP
used pinkie and got another

shop 3:
R&M mirror
simpsons mug & mallows
simpsons mug, coaster and keyring
used a pinkie and got another

it was a young lad on the till who i think was fairly new so I put each shop through separately (leaving the till each time) so I didn't confuse him!
when i did shop 3 the SA on the next till said "the voucher won't work on 342" I said it has done before would you mind trying. she said it'll probably work and make me out to be a liar. She was joking but didn't look amused when it went though!

Having a terrible day today!!!

Went to town to buy bits and bobs and from leaving one shop to another, I either lost my purse or had it stolen from the hood of my buggy.

Am mortified, as had cash inside, boots card, boots receipt awaiting validation for 1224 pts and 3 no 7 vouchers.

All bank cards were cancelled straight away etc and reported to the police.

Just so angry with myself for not putting my purse into my bag when paying for the items I bought in another shop.

So no boots card for me for 21 days apparently!!!! And nothing they can do about no 7 pinkies or my receipt awaiting validation. On a good note, the card hadn't tried to be used so at least my pts are still on there.

Am gutted as I normally go to the bank first and pay in any money, and £100 is a lot to lose. I have learnt by my mistake today.

I went out today for more s&g (my store does not have the 1/3 off offer, but I did get another gwp). The Wash your hands of it hand wash is lovely, as is the Hair Supply and everything else I tried.

And it occurred to me as I put away my lovely goodies: What if there is some chance in heck the new skincare voucher on Wednesday includes the new s&g range?! What kind of feeding frenzy would that be?! I was all content to not care at all about another skincare voucher as I have face wipes and hand lotion coming out of my ears, but if S&G is included my wallet is in trouble, lol.
