Left on the shelf by Time Delay yesterday was a colour sheet of paper with a picture of the new Time Delay display and other information for the store? I had a crafty look at it and it said the Launch date was 30/1/06. I cant remember if the vouchers end on the 30.1 or 31st of Jan, but may be worth hanging on to a few in the hope our stores restock for the launch? Cant remember anything else about it though.

So surely these vouchers are doing there job then. If a new range is coming out we are clearing the shelves for them to put the new goodies out.

Also I suspect that the DR is going to be going as well. So we have done there job for them and they are moaning.

So it could be true that is why there are no more goods being put on the shelves because they just don't have it. Not that they are hoarding them.

I did not think the TD range was going to be withdrawn as they added to it with the lip plumper recently thought it abit strange they going to stop the range. After bringing out a new product.

In my local one there are a few wipes but no toner and no face wash. Must be because they have no stock and are waiting for the new stuff to come in.

i went into our local one on new street yesterday and they had absolutely nothing for under a fiver, all the shelves were full of TD products but again none of the cheaper stuff.

DR is still on BOGOF but to be honest i'm not very keen on the range. i got myself some of the Body Souffle stuff and really dont like the smell of it at all. its quite a stange jelly like texture with bits floating in it which apparently make it a "" step procedure!!" ie u've got to rub it in until the solid bits melt onto u're skin

Has anyone else had any other products from this range which they've enjoyed?

To anyone stuggleing to find cheap aromatherapy stuff, in my store, they are altogether near the botanics stuff, but the prices on the shelves are still the original price, so the yellow candles still appear to be £2.99, the body spray £1.99 etc. but take it to the still and get it price checked, candles 74p and body spray 50p.

I am half way through a jar of Argan and Tamarind Anti-Ageing Body cream I got free with the voucher in last month's Zest magazine. I like it very much, not a great smell but seems to be a very good moisturiser. Only BOGOF and not reduced in my local stores but still think 2 for £7 after using voucher is very good value.

Well done, great haul! Next time I'm coming with you! Is Bristol the closest to Burnham/Weston to get the gym ball, or aren't I looking hard enough?

Still can't find glitter babes kits in stock - well guess my babes aren't going to be very glittery this time then!

i couldnt find the gym equipment anywhere nearby except in the boots near ikea in bristol, so i think this must be the nearest for us, i only found this by chance on saturday when i dropped OH off to football to see bristol rovers and thought i would go and see if i could find any bargains in tescos, and i noticed that there was a boots there as well, yipee !!!!
maybe if you rang boots they could say if there is anywhere else nearby which sells it.

Liverbird

Clayton Square, Liverpool. Staff are just reducing the last of the christmas booze...and there was loads of it! Tin of Famous Grouse with 2 miniatures and 2 glasses reduced to £3. Silver fridge with Vodka shot s and 2 glasses are now £1. Bigger Vodka Pack with 6 shot glasses and dice game now £2. Glenfiddich Miniature with small dartboard anad darts is £3. Staff were also putting out loads of other reduced stuff, like Natural Collection Pot Pourri for 37p and BOGOF, Natural Collection set of two Ice Musk Votives and candles for £1, also BOGOF.

All this is located upstairs behind the camera section.

The best item I've found so far is the DR Seeds Serum; normally £17 a bottle, but now with BOGOF and the £5 voucher £12 for 2 (effectively £6 each). It goes on like an oil but is absorbed in seconds! I use it on my hands and it really is a miracle - so soft and smooth! Smells of grapes though.

The DR Rescue balm is good too albeit a bit like posh Vaseline. Effectively £1.50 each for 15ml jar (£10 per 100ml) with BOGOF and voucher. Great again for chapped and weathered hands and feet. Use it in a similar way to Jo Malone's Vit E gel (£200 per 100ml). DR smells of tree bark/camphor though whilst Jo Malone's is altogether much nicer - but both are equally effective at restoring damaged skin.
