I'm waiting for the bank holiday weekend extra points in a couple weeks, and I've got a double points voucher, and hopefully the ACM in the store will have some extra points vouchers on spends, too.

Are there definitely going to be extra points for the bank holiday?

Hi from a Noobie member! , I saw the BSS in Boots this morning and have been avidly reading up on the various testimonies. Sounds fab! Am really tempted to buy one, but I have polycystic ovaries, and according to the website, is a no-no for us PCOS sufferers. (Boo) Does anyone know why this would be? Or any PCOS sufferers using it without any reaction?

Hi
I have been toying with the idea of saving up and paying to have laser treatment at the local skn clinic but after reading all the fab comments about this I have just ordered one from the website and it will be here by the end of next week. :j
I hope it lives up to the reputation it has and will post back and update with how I think it is for anyone else thinking of getting one.I will also be watching this thread for more updates about it.

I am soooo tempted to get one, DH has been saving advantage point for ages....bit gutted about not being able to split them (as in half points, half money)

The system I have says that it can't kill off hairs caused by hormonal imbalances, so I'd guess that's why. (PCOS is associated with estrogen/progesterone imbalance isn't it, and extra hair?) I haven't been able to shift the "dark line" of hair down my tum that appeared after pregnancy, so I guess that's a hormonal thing. They grow back unfortunately.

but if thats the case how do men have it when they're doing a sex change or whatever? their hormones must be promoting the growth of dark hair

ive got pcos and really want someting like this for my face

I thought this web site was very useful in explaining hair growth and removal.
