    I'm boycotting boots until they bring back the tillspits and pinkies;)

    I couldn't wait to get rid of them, but now they've gone I want them back:D

    :D glad to hear u still had all ur points.:D

    had a horrible moment last week where i thought i'd lost my card (during one of my 15 or so seperate transactions!). it has about £100 on it.:eek: started coming out in a cold sweat...luckily i had thrown it to a carrier bag in my rush!! i promptly spent most of my points and will never accrue that many again...

    I think thats what I've done...and then binned it !! :(


    OK on a happy note from Miss Tart, my .com order arrived a day early!! So here is a shopping list from .com before the hardcore shoppers arrive back

    3 x Ruby and Millie Sets
    3 x No.7 Cosmetics Sets
    1 x No.7 GWP (like it a lot, but slightly scratched, like the things inside as I actually use most of it, unlike previous GWP's!)

    Original Cost: £210
    Cost with 342's and 50% discount: £90
    Cost to me: £81
    Points back: 1071
    Net spend: £71
    Happy?: Yes :D

    got 750pts for £75 spend and 10% off a £75 spend....

    Thanks :D I'm so happy with the cute sizes of things in the GWP.

    I'm just mooching on .com for another order this week. Need to bump it over £60, so was going for the cotton buds @ 55p but need 19 to get the 200pts on £10 spend. Think 3800 cotton buds may be slightly excessive so will need to re-think :D


    For people who are around now and have used P+P - does it work? I am noticing my first tiny lines and wanting to prevent them becoming bigger!

    It means that of all the money I've spent on presents this year, 58% has been money from surveys, quidco, vouchers or eBay money :D (link below!)

    Boots related: Just tried the eyeliner in the No7 GWP and its really nice. Loving the cute size too! I never manage to use full products before I get bored of them, then they go all hard. Yay for the GWP!
