    Hiya ruth honey - there's nothing in the current S&G GWP - it's just an empty gift bag, something to put S&G items in if you were going to give it as a present.....

    ;)

    Oh...:rolleyes: Nothing to get excited about then. Might pop to the xmas evening at my local tomorrow. Has anyone been to one yet? Is it good?

    Yeah! 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 It wasnt until i got home and looked at the other voucher that i noticed it was actually out of date!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
    Perhaps I should have had another try before I binned mine.......:rotfl:
    "Buy me, Lady", said the frock, "and I will make you into a BEAUTIFUL & WHOLE & COMPLETE human being".
    "Do not be silly", said the Man, "for a frock alone cannot do that".
    "True", said the Lady, "I will have the shoes and the bag as well".
    :rotfl:

    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 :confused:

    Can anyone help please?

    TIA

    Can anyone please tell me what's in the S&G GWP? Tried looking on the Boots site but it's playing silly beggers with me and keeps timing out. Thanks!

    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

    Oops curlylox beat me to it

    I got strepsils and rennie with my bluey today, not very exciting but they were essential!

    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 you
