Still no sign of my Santuary order - delivery date is for today and the HDN site says it was loaded onto the van today. First time a delivery hasn't come earlier than the stated delivery date.

I got my sanctuary order on friday, and that was the day it was supposed to be delivered iyknwim.
It was first time for me that my order didnt arrive early. :cool:
Hope it arrives ok

No more reduced urban decay (sorry I had the last 3 ) and they didnt have any pencil sharpeners.

BUT they have got the purple olay gwp, black sparkly MF gwp and Vichy gwp. AS well as the current olay gwp, current MF gwp and obviously the no 7 gwp (cant move for bumping into the NO7 ones).

Was quite excited as never seen purple olay ones in the mall before. Also the sparkly black MF ones had all been put away when I was last there but obviously they have decided to put them all out again.

Was quite a lot on 2 clearance shelves, No7 exfoliators, mediteranean (sp) stuff, reduced sanctuary sets (although they were still pricey), also lots of kid (age 2-4) oral b tooth brushes for 50p, got one of these as seems like very good price.

Got a couple of No 7 accessories with my perkies, no problems going through the tills. No 7 SA didnt think it would work, but happily tried and was surprised when till send yes. She said she will get some now!

Please could you let me know if these the new range ones ?

I'm pretty sure they were the new range, as the shop I was in I dont think has any of the old range. Difficult to tell as I bought small compact mirror and make up sponges.

Thanks ,If it is a black mirror and a little drawstring bag they are new ones, I know passion said she had used perkies on mirrors, wanted to know what else they 'work' on.

Hi all,
Called in Leeds Albion St today, didn't buy anything (trying to be good, sure it can't last!) but noticed quite a bit of mediterranean range on the clearance shelf, including some gift sets and there were some sanctuary sets on there too. Also a couple of ted baker bits and radox refills. Clearance now located near the lift and toothpaste - has moved since I last saw it.

I did a spot of quick bargain and gwp hunting earlier, with little success.
I did buy another of the Extracts 'Bergamot' shower cream @ £2.60.
Was able to use the 2 x 150 points that work together, then picked up a few essentials and got a perkie back.
The SA was very chatty and helpful and during my transaction, she produced a customer survey printout,
which had clearly been printed off earlier. She handed it to me saying how lucky I was to get one
and that if I filled it in I could win xyz. She also said if I wrote a nice comment about her, she would get a 'wow'.
Three 'wow's' in a week mean't she would be able to choose some sort of gift/ prize...
But that they were very hard to come by as you had to be mentioned 3 times in the same week.
Has anyone else been told this or had this happen to them?

The 'Bergamot' shower cream smells lovely by the way and does remind me of the O De Lancome EDT,
which is described as having top notes of bergamot, lemon, tangerine and honeysuckle, aromas of basil,
rosemary and coriander and base notes of oak moss, sandalwood and vetiver.
It is also similar to the Jasper Conran 'Woman' fragrance, that I bought with points.
So if you use either of these fragrances, the Extracts product is a cheaper way of layering your fragrance...
and getting some extra points too.

Helpful chap at Bluewater let my Ruby and Millie eyeshadow brush go through with the perkie tho he did say it was really only for cosmetics. Paid 87p and he gave me another perkie. Took that to No 7 till and paid for the new facial scrub - £2.75 - but was NOT given another perkie.

My question: which was the correct practice? Was the chap just so enamoured of me that he gave me one anyway, so to speaK. LOL

Hope everyone is OK. Sorry to the 5 x ladies that I was going to send a PURPLE too. Not had chance to go out today, far too busy cooking and cleaning. Will post them 1st class tomorrow morning, promise.

If anyone in the West Yorkshire area wants 8 x Model Me Erina Styling Glues, please pm me. You can meet me somewhere in Leeds or wherever and take them. I took some back to Boots and said I don't want them, just keep them, but they just looked at me really funny. Don't wanna do that again.

jazzteddy - this seems to be abit of a trend lately, alot of people have mentioned about SA's holding back surveys and giving them out to who they choose. Abit naughty really, makes you wonder if they served the intended recipient badly so witheld the survey!!!:eek:
