I managed to grab one of these mascara`s with the voucher, and must say i love it, and funny enough, i found another 2 vouchers in my stash the other day so whilst i was in there, i sent my DD (14) over to the stand to see if they had any more with a voucher, and luckily enough, the lady SA gave her one and said it was the last one.... It wasnt until i got home and looked at the other voucher that i noticed it was actually out of date!
Oooo, well done you! :T

Hi
Is there anyone here from Colchester please?
I keep going into Boots, but can never find a clearance shelf. Also the AC machines were broken down today (all of them!!) and there were no S&G sets either.
I have looked on .com to find out which day is our Xmas evening, but it won't even tell me that.
Has Mr B got it in for Colchester or is it just me
Can anyone help please?

Do you meant the S&G GWP that is now selling at £5 and on 342? If that's the one you mean its quite a big box with 5 or 6 mini size products - really lovely. Well worth a £5 and 342 if you can find any.
There is also S&G gift bag that is empty.

Hi just to say the S&G GWP has 5 minis and it was free when you spent £15 on S&G products but are now selling (if they havent all been snaffled) at £5 each and are on 3 4 2 so in effect 3 for £10 HTH

Hi can you please tell me if you spent £8 on strepsils and rennies this seems quite a lot of money to spend to get £2 off. Is there a way you can add other products or does it have to be healthcare. Thank you2008£3002009£13002010£15002011£41952012£21942013£1494
