Thanks for spotting that - it has been out of stock until now!

How much of the sachet of Pantene whatsit should you use please - I've got short, thick hair.

Also, does anyone know of a really effective deodorant, without parabens? Was advised to use this crystal thingy I bought from a health shop, which you have to wet before use, but it feels like I'm just rolling water onto my skin.

I once tried making my own ... take a tub of bicarbonate of soda and then add a few drops of your favourite essential oil. Shake it hard...with the lid on!!...then apply with fingertips. Very economical too.

Boots do a couple of deodorants without parabens. bionsen is the one I use - they do a stick and a spray version. I assume it works - no one has ever told me I smell:rotfl:

Pitroc? Does work, even if it feels as if it's not doing anything,
It's not a deodorant, so won't get rid of any nasty niffs that are already there (not that I think you have any Sandra!), nor is it an anti perspirant, so will still 'glow' but so long as you use it straight after washing you will stay smell free for up to 3 days! I've found that after a few months it stops working and I have to take a break for a couple of weeks then it seems t work again
Or try bionsen, more like a traditional deo in application, again, not anti-perspirant. available in boots stores ( not online) often has bogof offers (one just gone). Pleasant fresh fragrance.
Will pm the ingredients incase they've hidden any nasties in long latin nom de plumes!
I switch between the 2.

Thanks for that princess_woo. Only thing is that I don't like to wear mascara (at all) or any other eyemakeup (unless wedding, or something). I like to keep the focus on my lips so always have a nice deep lipcolour on. My daily makeup routine is very simple, a dab of foundation or tinted moisturiser, curl my lashes using eyelash curler and then apply a nice deep lippy and I'm done ! I find curling my lashes makes a real difference and really wakes up my eyes. But thanks for the tip on clear mascara, I will definately try this when I next wear it.

I use metal eyelash curlers...mine are boots and heat them with the hairdryer, then curl eyelashes....its like a mini curling tong!
Obviously make sure it isnt too hot else you will burn your eyes!!!

It was from a parenting club mailing, so no obvious reason why it wouldn't work?

Am not banned from the PC to my knowledge since i've had an email from them this morning?

Anyone know if Boots tills work like tesco and you have to press the *total* button before any coupons will be accepted?



S & G coupons: Is it likely that they are only scanning on PINK S & G?

Also, some very weird sale items seen instore today....have never seen them in there before!

Trust me though, ladies (and menfolk) this is not a store in which to raise your profile by complaining!!

I went to my local boots and tried to use the S&G £2 off voucher on S&G Hand Food and the till bleeped. Apparently because S&G have a offer on (the spend £12 on S&G stuff and get a free gift pack) they would not let me use it even though I was only getting one item.

I purchased s&g hand wash, body glistening spray and flirtigo and got the admit it you want me gwp (amongst other goodies). I handed over a fist full of vouchers and asked the SA if she could put them through. She put them all through and the S&G £2 off bleeped, she said she didnt know why it wouldnt go through. After trying a few more times she said I dont know why it's not going through. So she subtracted the body glistening spray and put it through £2 cheaper.

Not posted for a while, thread moves sooo fast.

I tried to use my £2.50 off £10 healthcare shop from the mailing today I purchased day nurse, night nurse, germoline and plasters. It would not go through (despite the pharmacist trying persistently) so my guess that it is on non prescription medication and will not work on first aidy stuff like plasters.

My local Boots doesnt stock the pantene sachets :eek: but I am more than pleased as I managed to get 2042 points back on a £44.24 spend (thats better than the points event evenings!!).

I am holding out for the 75% sale and then I think I am done bootsing for a while, after I have used my remaining vouchers up of course
