    here's a question...

    has anyone seen botanics cotton wool?
    because we are literally stumped by the voucher in our ac mailings!!
    hahaha

    I know its not just me thats wondering about this....

    I'm glad you asked that because i had a coupon too in my Boots mailing the other day, if it cost more than the normal stuff i won't bother buying it though. :D

    I like using the cotton wool pads and normally they are 2 packets for £2.

    Can anyone remember if pushchairs were in the 75% sale last year?

    if you had admit in you want me in your favourite or had ordered it before it went through at £14 for 6 so £2 each. I think some people managed to order it a different way by purchasing minis but I don't know how they did it

    Manchester market st had loads of the pantene sachets this evening, I only got 2 to make my spend upto £5.50 for my blinkie so left plenty for other manchester bootsers. Theres still a fair bit of sale stuff upstairs, but too many people filling baskets!

    Nearly forgot, upstairs in market st next to the opticians there is a full stand of reduced no7. Mainly nail varnishes at £2 but there were some silver summer pallettes at £4.50 and the small silver twinkle(?) eyeshadow set at £3 I think from memory but they all had the handwritten clearance stickers on so I dont think they'll go through.

    And (just remembered!) the old purple bag gwp at £6.50. Its like the generation game, i keep remembering more things!
