Hi all
I was following another thread on this site to look at this site which allows you to collect credits to spend on some quite nice things, and if you shop at .com you can earn 31 Carboncreditz per £10 spent. (As if any of us would!)
:beer:

They have quite cool gifts that would be great for Christmas, and you can also buy offsets to make yourself carbon neutral (eg flight, holiday), or donate points eg to schools.

If you are interested in this its also worth looking at this thread for 750 extra points.

Cheers

Thanks for this - it's an excellent offer, although it did rearrange my dot com basket, so I'd keep an eye on that bit

I went to Boots last weekend for the first time in 6 weeks (Don't ask :rolleyes: )

I wanted to try the ss tils so took my OH (grudgingly). Sorry but they freaked me out. We used them but I don't like them at all. It was
reminiscent of shopping with all my children as toddlers all screaming for attention from me at once. I didn't know which way to turn.

Despite the fact that the SA's kept having to come over and key in their code. I managed to get 2 x No7 mirrors for £2.99 each.

Another Limbo glitch.:rotfl:

10% discount from HC reduced Mirror to £17.99
Then used
£5 electrical mailing
Pinky
No7 till spit.

Another little perk from being a fossil. The trouble is when you get to my age, it hurts to look in the mirror, magnified or not. :rotfl: :rotfl: Never mind it comes to us all eventually. You may laugh now, but in 40 years time, you'll say "Remember what Polls said about getting old :eek: well its true"

Stiil no joy on .com, if I ring with my order would they accept an additional points code?

I'm not sure if anyone's replied moyilla, but when a few of us were having problems a couple of weeks ago, I rang CS. They couldn't see an extra 500 pointer on their screen that I could see on mine, but they did say they would add it seperately and it could be collected from the ACM. As it turned out, no-one could get that order through but they can add on points even when they can't see them. Might be an idea to jot down the code for when you ring

sophisticated.

No luck on website for me either - will be ringing them tomorrow as I want my camera with £25 worth of points!

I only placed my order this afternoon and it's been dispatched. Wow fast or what:j :j :j

Had a mailing from the Health club today. Just noticed that Slimfast smoothies are now included from 1st November.

Someone was asking about these recently. Can't remember who sorry. Flavours are:-

• Peach & Mango,
• Raspberry
• Fruits of the forest

All the sensitive Laundry stuff is still there (as usual)

All this is new to me, have loads to learn...what is a pinkie for starters??

When you spend £5 in store you get a voucher for £5 off any purchase of ruby&millie or No7 cosmetics. The voucher is pink so we call it a "pinky". If you use a self service till you get the same voucher, but in the form of a till spit that comes out along with your receipt. Both the pinky and the till spit have different bar codes so can be potentially used together.

Wow!! That's amazing.

To be honest pollsdolls, at 5x magnification it isn't a pleasant experience looking in the No 7 mirror at age 33!! :eek: :rotfl:

think i mite have to test some of the p&p range.. which bits do you guy recommend and whats the prices like ?

is it really oily ?

Not sure if anyone's answered this either (I'm all over the place tonight ) but it's not oily at all imo.

I'd ask a friendly No7 SA (there are some btw ) for a sample. I know they do them for the No7 day and night cream so possibly for the P&P too?

And fwiw, the P&P is the best. Unfortunately I had a reaction to it, but I've since had a reaction to other ranges, including Simple so I might give it another whirl. I loved the stuff

Hello

Thankyou,
