    I doubt the above would come up for everyone, and even if it did, if you did not have like £40 worth of stuff it would look really suspicious and the SA would notice it and cancel it, unless obviously she/he were stoned and not with it.

    Kind of off topic, but I have horrid skin. I keep getting mini spots on my face which then leave horrid black markings. How do I get rid of these or stop spots from happening? I don't even eat crisps anymore. It's doing my head in. Have tried toothpaste (even the extra whitening version!) on them, and it does not work. Currently covering my face with tea tree oil at night, but that ain't doing nothing. Bio oil does not work for me either. Any ideas? Should I try bleach? Just joking!

    managed to buy 2 girard sml bottles of perfume,£2 each ..used the 500 points vouchers with each..much to the disgust of the dragon SA..who tried telling me i had to spend £25 for it to work....
    she gave me evils all round the shop.........when it worked..
    made me feel like i was doing something illegal.!!!!!
    well done! was it reduced or normal price?

    Melgirl and pcg2001 - I don't think there's anything wrong with your cream, I got some sample from House of Fraser at the end of last year and thought it had a really strong, medicated kind of smell. Not something I'd describe as lovely. I don't think you've got old ones, it just doesn't have a great smell.

    Hi

    Mrs Bluebear mentioned earlier on the refugees thread that the Dr Nick Lowe spot treatment is really good. You can get £5 off with the new voucher as well.

    Thanks for the info:beer:

    I got mine yesterday (in S*******G:eek: ) and it had dust on the box so was a bit concerned that it had been there for 20 years:rotfl:

  • Mimi - I was listening to a bit of the Sunday Surgery on radio one the other night and Dr Stuart said that your diet does not give you spots in repsonse to a question about chocolate causing spots.

    I would suggest you try either the boots tea tree and witch hazel wand or else buy some sudacreme and dab/put a thin layer on the spot when you are going to bed, it helps as well.

    HTH

    Hope your dad is doing well with his treatment.
