hey peeps!

i know this is totally off topic but i was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions for a good bath pillow? I have a s&g one from a gift box last year but it dying and keeps deflating :S

thanks

These are fab. I found one on ebay months ago that came out cheaper with shipping plus cost. The great part is the way it is fuller at the neck and lets you lean your head back a bit into a lesser-padded area. Love it!

has anyone used the blinky on R&M as well as the 500 points mailing voucher and got the 750 points for buying 2 R&M items?

Do these all work together?

virtually

Went to a couple of Boots stores today and got some goodies. Not sure how well I did though...ended up spending more than I thought and it does seem to stress me but delight me at the same time.

First store had no Pantene sachets so I bought £11 roughly worth of normal Pantene shampoos at £1.85 each. Asked to do in two separate transactions and got two blinkies. With those got two NO7 Mineral Blushers with GWP and paid around £3.85 each one. Sales assistant wouldn't let the 250 points vouchers go through though as they aren't valid with any other offer she said. I did, however, get two more blinkies with the blushers which I was happy with.

Then did a few shops at other store (sales assistant commented that I was in all the time and what did I do with everything!). She said she would split my transactions for me so that was good as they aren't always very willing.

Got two more NO7 Mineral Blushers and used my blinkies but again was told not allowed to use 250 points. Also told you don't get more £5off vouchers if you have redeemed then in the transaction.

Managed to get 7 Pantene sachets and blinkie yay!

Then got Olay wipes at under £3 and free gift. Plus other bits and pieces so another blinkie.

I used £26ish in points for 4 Gilette Champions Fusion gift bag sets which were £6.53 each I think. Actually reckon these were way cheaper, although still good deal, but can't help wondering if they are now more in price instead of less. I thought they were much cheaper at one point, but I still bought as couldn't see in stock previously.

So I then spent two of my blinkies on two more Mineral blusher sets and GWP. I am totally blushered up! Again though was told no can do on the 250 points.

Exhausting!

I got a R&M eye smudge brush and another R&M brush.
I used the £5 off, 250 pts coupon from R&M OOTW, plus SA added 750 points manually as accesories are excluded from the offer but if you choose your SA they will add them as it is in very tiny and i mean almost microscopic writing on the bottom of the shop display. Piad about £4 in total.

My whole shop is on page 89 of this thread i think.

Thats what gets me wondering about returns.

I wanted to return some a make up gift set before xmas and CS said NO cos its a cosmetic and these cant be returned, yet others returned them no problems.

I have just used a No7 nail varnish i got before xmas and it has all peeled off. Its like that peelable stuff you get for little girls, took me ages to do my nails (trying to keep my hands busy so i dont have a cig, the patches are working a treat) im really disapointed, the colour is gorgeous, i made sure i had no residue of hand cream or anything on my nails so that cant be the reason. SO can anyone think of why it would all just peel off, ive only ever had this happen with cheap cheap nail varnish many many moons ago. I havent got time to redo them no im just gonna have to clean of the little bits and go bare tommorrow.

Its the No7 Stay perfect nail colour ''damson dream''

I just had to have a rummage because i had that peeling polish problem with a No7 nail polish and thought it might be the one you mention, but no, this is No7 Speed Dry in Blackberry. Funny that they should both be dodgy. How long have you had yours? I think i've had this about 6 months opened (but a further 6 months) unopened. One things fore sure, saves on nail polish remover wipes

Thanks for all the tips passion8 I've got a couple of really busy work days but will try and pop up to the retail park at some point - and plan to go into town for a mooch when I finish work on Saturday as haven't been in since mid-December :eek:.

Working does get in the way of bootsing so badly :rolleyes:

Well done virtually....

Doesnt it make a different if you have a willing SA!!!

The No.7 SA....Yes I did say the No.7 SA at my local branch is really good and is more that happy to let me use all my vouchers! Brought the clearance produces at 3 for 2 with blinkys and 250 points vouchers with no problems...didnt even need to sneak to the normal tills to try it!

went to the small store in paddington station earlier. Found loads of mens toilitries reduced. All on normal shelves with reduced SELs.

Can't find any pantene sachets anywhere...I wonder why;)

I nearly missed getting a No7 £5 voucher by 2p:eek: had to dash back to sweetie shelf. The VAT reduction is a pain when trying to make up a £5 spend as not all items are marked with the new prices:rolleyes:

Haven't those sachets become really popular recently, with so many of us buying them! They must make your hair really nice.;)

Me too - I thought it was just 'cos I was rubbish at putting on nail varnish! Happened with a No.7 Stay perfect 'lilac' and with the 'rose truffle' from the GWP. I'm sure others on here have said similar things.

Was it you Sandra who took some back? (and can you take mine back, you're sooooo brave! :rotfl:)

Shop one, bought various *sleep aids* (aka Medised/ Ibuprofen) for DD2 as she insists on skriking in the middle of the night :rolleyes: - tried the £2.50 off healthcare wys £10 but beeped, SA said they're not scanning and gave me £2.50 back out of the till

Thanks for this, I was buying 2 x vitamins, Bachs and a slightly embarrassing healthcare item (I use the term health loosely ) and the SA told me that item wasn't included in the offer and it was just vitamins :rolleyes:
