hi all

can you get the blueys when paying with points
thanks

No. And you can't use them when paying with points.

PS: Don't worry after some time these rules will come naturally to you. Also, this and many other questions are covered by CPG first post with FAQs.

Quick question - I'm looking to place an online order with Boots, which cashback site gives the best return?
:-)
TIA

I have always found Cash back kings very good, 3.5%, better than nothing and makes me feel slightly less guilty for all the orders I do!!

It took 2 months to get cashback, which is quicker than some other sites.

hi all, i decided to make little hamper for hands and nail stuff for nursery 2 stuff, can anyone recommend me cheap bit cheerful nail varnish or hand cream etc...please
thank you very much.

what about getting a few different rimmel nail varnishes, they are quite cheap and when you spend £10 go get a gwp which is a gorgeous eye pallette.

thank you very much minimoneyme,
thats soooo great. i love s&g, and natural collection nail varnishes, they looks just perfect.
i will probably check tesco`s as becky and mamaloo recmmended for gloves and etc...
i been told there is only 4 nursery stuff, and rest is part timers and students, so i will take big box of chocolates and tin of biscuit to share for them. also thinking about giving them magazine subscription,too. am i a bit ott?

hun i dnt know if things have changed but when i was a nursery nurse(only 2 years ago) we werent allowed long nails because of the bacteria collecting under them and nail polish was a no no too for some reason:mad: i know your trying to be nice and give out pressis but id try and sneak a peak at there nails first if i were you.The chocci's and biccys would go down well thou, a much needed sugar boost while the children are napping or playing:rotfl:mag sub would probebly go down well too as not all staff go out to lunch lots stay in and some even eat with the children so would be good to have something to read

Just another tiny thought
Naked have BOGOF atm and they do this hand NAKED Manuka Honey Babe Protective Hand Lotion 250ml at £3.91, so - you would get 2 for that price. Also remember, you could get 17 nail polishes on 3 for 2 and then get the free little clutch bag - £5.26/£5.46 (depending on which you get) for 3 nail polishes and your lil' clutch. xxxx

I think the magazine subscription is a great idea and even better if bought through Tesco clubcard deals!! I'm sure the nursery nurses will love it.

So did a super Boots tour today, 5 stores, and not a single bargain! Not impressed. Got a few John Frieda Frizz Ease things (straight onto eBay cos my neice won't let me use it on her hair!) with my blues. Saw the Bourjois tweezers, but didn't really feel it was worth it. You can get some normal tweezers from Bodycare/Quality Save for £1, who cares if I save £2.00 on the pink ones, not worth it. Did see some Ruby and Millie Metallics sets on the LAST CHANCE TO BUY stand, but no price on them. This was at the BIRSTALL, WEST YORKSHIRE store. The DEWSBURY store has taken the OLAY DEFINITY product off reduced, probably cos they were gonna make a loss with the funky free GWP. PS. DEWSBURY/LEEDS/HUDDERSFIELD/WHITE ROSE/BIRSTALL all had S+G still on 3 4 2 with a bronze gift bag free too.

Got 2 x Bourjois/Maybelline blues to send out, have only got 1 at the moment, when I get another 1, the 2 ladies waiting will get 1 each. I think Tufty something or the other asked for a haircare blue, sorry love, I'm only handing out the cosmetics side. Glad Squidgeum/Mishka/Lusive got their blues. Hope Crazyposhgal got hers too.

I have various 250 EXTRA POINTS WHEN YOU BUY ANY NO 7 vouchers if anyone wants to swap. Anyway, have a good week all, if I see any bargains, I will post. Best wishes, x x Mimi x x
