Eyeshadows and lip glosses should be in bottom with couple little brushes. Thanks for info they sound very similar. Im sort of thinking the shiny brown colour maybe more suitable for 17 year old than the silver No 17 one. Maybe I wasnt meant to find one. Like I wasnt meant to find the No7 ulimate for myself. I think someone somewhere knows I already have a stash of No7 to last me a while!

Lol.. I'm just about running out of my stashes now. Need to bulk em back up..

And thanks, just pulled drawer out fully and both trays of eyeshadows and that are in there, meaning its just the brushes that are missing, all the shower stuffs there as well.. Even more chuffed for a fiver now

I thought I would just give everyone something else to think about whilst enjoying their bargains.


My sis who works for UN was in Haiti for 2 years and is going back in the next couple of weeks with the relief mission. She had told me how poor the people were when she lived there and we as a family have been collecting clothes for the children and taking them to her to send on for a couple of years ( when Woolworths closed she was home and she bought a whole suitcase of t-shirts for 20p each) So perhaps instead of worrying about what people do and do not have people should channel their energy into thinking of those poor people and sending some money to the appeal
instead.

I donate every month to charity and yes I will 'enjoy my bargains' as getting bargains enables my income to be freed up to go to other things such as my direct debit to charities!

Whilst I do admire people who do what your sister does and I try to help charities as much as possible this is hardly the place for this message really. Life is full of misery, death and war, why not let people get a little enjoyment out of bargains.

Maybe you should have explained what your sister does and said that if people are able to spare a few pounds that they have managed to save in the sale, even if it is just £1 then why not donate to the appeal and given people the link.

I was just wondering if there is a list out there anywhere, specifying which giftsets have "Christmas 2009" printed on them or similar, or have points vouchers inside them? It could be tricky giving these sets out throughout the year if the recipient is a snob lol. If there isn't a list, I'm happy to start the ball rolling, and if there is, apologies for duplicating the information!



Sanctuary Relax & Unwind Revival Bag, £15 - competition ends 31/03/2010 on outer sleeve, coupon inside for free body butter wys £10 valid until 31/03/10
Sanctuary Classic Fragrance Set, £15 - competition as above

Goodworks Good to Unwind, £20 - packaging states a donationation will be made to Kids Company for sets sold before 25/12/2009
Goodworks Good to Go, £8.00 - packaging as above

HTH someone, and would be grateful for any more info! I feel like a sneak thief trying to open the packaging to make sure there's no vouchers inside without leaving a trace:rotfl:

I am sorry but i cant believe people are taking a hatbox back and trying to rebuy cheaper ..... there is saving money and there is going a bit too far. I think is rude actually when some people couldnt get one of these.
I got one when they went down and wouldnt dream of taking it back and putting the SA in that position. Maybe I am just too nice or dont have enough cheek x

here here... I missed out on the hat box, TWICE, but I would've been more than happy to pay £20 if I could've got my hands on one.

The No7 gift sets had a coupon for 250 extra points, only valid til march this year. (not sure if the make-up ones had them in, maybe someone on here will know. I know the ultimate set, the folded black case, the pink skin care bag and the skincare treats all def had them in. I had these for xmas)

Hi Rose,

I don't mean to be rude but what is your point here? Are you saying just because I bought some stuff in the sale I've not given to charity? I think alot of people give something in their own way.

It just sounds like your judging everyone on this forum for talking about the boots sale!

If you have a link you would recommend then I would be happy to look and possibly donate, this is not to say I haven't already.

Thanks and there is no offence intended and I know it is sometimes difficult to express your actual thoughts in writing! (if THAT makes sense!) :think:

Perhaps you could have given a percentage of your current ebay sales to the Haiti fund.

You should also be registered as a business seller as you are most clearly buying new items to make a profit. 3 x S & G Hat Boxes, plus all Go Go Hamster items.
