Hi everyone.

Sorry to be thick but I have been reading the thread and I can't find the answers to my questions. Can someone please explain where can I get the £20 off voucher and what amount of money(total spend) or products is it for. Also what is this glich for Ella bags. What are S&G sets? Did I read correctly and you can get the No7 GWP if you buy wipes packs? Also I only get the health club mailing, nothing else. Where do I get the double points etc?
I am mega confused. I want to try out some glitches tomorrow and I just don't know where to start. I hope you don't mind me asking, but I did look throught the thread, but ended up even more baffled!

The only thing I can think that you may mean regarding the 20 quid voucher was when someone mentioned a bond thing earlier today. This is not something to plan on getting really; it's an incentive people get when they buy some pricey thing or another from Boots. Can't recall, I think it's signing up for a savings account for your child or something? It doesn't matter really, 'cause it's not a coupon you just get sent by boots for no reason, you have to do something pricey to get it. What happens is with some vouchers that won't scan, the SA will type in the barcode and mistype by one number and will have accidently put in the code for the 20-quid off voucher. It's not something to plan on getting for most of us, lol. And if you meant a different voucher, then sorry for this long explanation, lol.

I have so much No7 make up.

Its all in one big bag and its getting hard to find bits and i forget about other items i have.

Would really like a proper make up box type thing, havent seen any anywhere though. Stop everything getting knock about as i have smashed a couple of eye shadows.

Do boots do them? Or even something similar.

mimi dont be tempted to put bubble bath in your foot spa as i did to liven it up as it's so boring, it foams everywhere but hey makes a great carpet shampoo..


After spending £71 on .com yesterday wasn't even going in boots today but the big neon sign drew me in clearance was that rubbish and couldn't be bothered scanning the shelf so came out empty handed for a change.

There was a woman looking at the fcuk bag so i went up to her and told her not to buy it as it will be offer of the week soon she was really grateful so even though i got nothing in boots i still came out happy as i done my good dead for the day lol

oh i remember now, we had this letter from chidrens trust fund.
when you have baby government send you vouchers for 250pounds worth to start savings for the newborn. parents can put it anywhere banks, building society,premium bond,etc... and government pays them. so all many places offer you money vouchers to get this 250 pounds of you. are still with me:)
mothercare offer 20pounds in mothercare etc... iyswim

Snipped.....Hi. I wanted my 1000 mega points, but then the other part of me said you got £20+ off. After having a mini discussion in my head I decided the £20+ off was better


Bounced in again a bit later to get Mummy Mimi a footspa. Wanted to use the £5 off £30 voucher, and an adorable SA pointed out some funky NO 7 massagery thing, got one of those, total was over £30 and the £5 off worked. Also got a few x lunch deals, 3 4 2 men's toileteries, JK products and some other stuff. Total came to £50.18 or something like that, got 3500 points back. I was served by a bloke SA who sarcastically said "that's a lot of points your getting". I just did a super humongous pout/glare combo thinking "It's my money and my points so keep your flamin' trap shut". The SA said "Sorry" when he saw my expression, think he must have read my mind. That'll teach him!

So in total, today I spent about £80.00 and got 7000 points back, and my brother got lots of points on his AMEX card. All good. Well my arms are killing actually, cos the footspa thing and the massager thing were bloody heavy. But it's all good I think.

Oh and I managed to 3 or 4 lip care products. Time for me to perfect my pout. Got some E45, Nivea, Palmers Cocoa Butter and something else. Woohoo.

Great shop Mimi, well done on your reduction. :beer:

I read somewhere the AMEX are doing a promotion, for the poutiest lips in Yorkshire.... Problem is I can't remember where I saw it :cool:

Loads of brownie points earned from your Mum too for her Foot spa.:A

Ahem...I keep my stash in...

1 metallic crate from Tesco
1 seagrass lidded basket from Morrisons
1 large pink cardboard gift type box from the local garden centre type place
1 Natural Collection makeup bag
1 wooden tray from Morrisons (it came from the kitchenware department, but I keep my nail varnishes in it)

I keep it all this way because:

a) I have enough makeup to sink the Titanic (seriously )
b) this way it's not all crammed in
c) I can keep the "in use" stuff and the "waiting to be used/duplicates" stuff separate
d) I've never found a purpose designed makeup box big enough
e) I am insane

So a suggestion from me...perhaps get a set of lidded baskets or nice sturdy cardboard gift boxes with lids for most of it, and then a small makeup bag for the day-to-day/essentials/most used stuff?

i had hard large case one from lancome and elauder. both full, one upstairs one downstairs, normally one goes in the caravan during summer.
i actually made note to try no7 luminating cream. i think dior and chanel do them, probably cost fortune. i tried no7 no17 but for some reason got good for my skin, had rashes and never used again. i think we all different.

I don't know if boots does them, but you just reminded me of my sister, who when she was a teenager had mass amounts of makeup. She bought a cheap medium-sized plastic toolbox with trays that fold out and used that, lol. I think she still does. It's a cheap solution to the problem, though it was funny to see her pull out a toolbox full of makeup. It was sort of a visual metaphor for how the cosmetics were tools to fix up her face, lol.

edit: omg, I just searched amazon and they have funny "ladies" toolboxes and tools for 11.95. My sister's wasn't nearly so colorful; hers was more like the ones for less than 5 quid at Argos.
