A free day out and fresh smelling knickers !!

Options
Just thought of this at the weekend while looking for perfume for my girlfriend's birthday.

Go into a nice department store, try out all the testers on the little fancy bits of card they have to take a way. Be a bit liberal with spraying the perfume, then take them home and drop tester cards into your drawers, will keep all your smalls nice and fragrant.

Not sure how OS it is, but seems fun and free!

    Nanna used to pop into boots before an evening out to get a squirt of Chanel no. 5 :) I learnt a lot from her;)

    Decant the channel and pass it on to a friend who likes it and top up the bottles with a perfume you do like?

    Most blokes won't be able to tell the difference :)

    Or easier still......just take a bag of your pants into the shop with you and give them a spray.

    NB This will work with hankies, socks and the dog basket too.

    Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold...But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow...
