    The great glycolic peel hunt......
    Well, I searched and searched and visited five stores and no glycolic peels in stock! Three of them were just really tiny stores right enough.

    I've been really keen to try the peel so a bit disappointed. It was a kind fellow bootser who sent me a voucher to cheer me up after my humiliating powder incident (cheers again wb x) Hope they will be back in stock next week and the vouchers will go through and not be stopped....or something terrible!

    On the plus side for Glasgow/Lanarkshire bootsers lots of stores had loads of really cheap tights on clearance under £1, with one store having real bargains at 30 and 40p. In said store they had coloured tights at 84p but I saw them in a Glasgow store for over a fiver!

    Speke Retail Park had some other Mediternean things vastly reduced. Worth a look if its your local.
    WOW LB none in sight last week must have been out the back x:rolleyes:

    Went to my local to see if I could get anymore No.7 vouchers and enter the points comp. But the acm was out of order :eek: I was just going to flounce out in a huff, a la mimi, but detoured via the 17 counter to plan my DD's next 1/2 price eye trio. Glad I did because they had 2 lovely 17 summer bronzing sets (an old GWP?) for £1, tried to get the free 17 nail polish with them but the till said no. Never mind, really great for £1 especially as I got them with points, even better as I got them with OH's points!

    well done always harrased, all those points, what a temptation!

    Rescue dogs - I know what you mean! my trick is to keep all my vouchers hidden until the very last second, then ask her to try the first one (in this case the line lift) still keeping the others other hidden, when that goes through, (fingers crossed) I whip out the second (humilliating), after that has scanned I then present the 3rd with a flourish and ask the SA to just try this one as well! Hope it works for you.

    Had a pants visit to Broadmead Bristol Boots today. Rubbish clearance - just picked up 3 pkts of tights for my mum @ £1.32 each used the 100 point vouchers from the ACM so each only cost 32p in Boots logic - got home and realised there are 2 pairs in each pkt so not bad!!! Tried to get the MF mesh bag, waited for the MF SA to go and then got one and took it to the till but the SA said oh it's come up at nil - are they giving them away. I said I didn't know as there was nothing to say what it was for. She rushed off to check with the MF SA who of course said GWP cannot have!!!! Never mind!!

    I actually felt bored in Boots today!!!!

    I didn't get any of the the 3 No7 vouchers today - had the highlight poweder one last week and no more today - very disappointing!! Luckily the lovely minimoneyme and sugarhunny1 have kindly helped and given me their spares. Thanks again ladies....

    Sorry - in desperation I'm going to ask hoping someone will know.

    Bought a lovely little top today for niece - it is size "80". Saw another top sized "116" which is supposedly for 6yo - but looks too small for that age.

    Any idea what age an "80" or a "116" would fit? Niece is a petite 2 1/2 yo.

    Answers before 10pm pls ;)

    Many thanks.

    I buy quite a bit from vertbaudet which have the sizings above see here, I do find their sizings quite on the small side. my DD is 3 1/2 ( tall for her age though ) and find I have to buy her the size equivelant of age 5 or 6 from them. These sizing can be a bit hit and miss though as I bought her a top and it is [STRIKE]quite tight[/STRIKE] just right:rolleyes: yet a pair of PJ's in the same size are swimming on her:confused:

    Evening All,
    Used the Elle Firm and something Body lotion coupon from the last mailing (had to be used with the Bare or Glow range) with a Foot Butter from the Bare range. Coupon took off full price of body lotion. So

    Elle Footbutter 3.71 (on third off)
    Elle Firm Body Lotion 5.58 (on third off)
    - voucher 7.45
    So paid a grand total of £1.84 for both - well pleased especially as I 2 vouchers.

    HTH.
