I was just wanting some advice Please?

I have bought one of the Glitter Babes Mirror sets it was meant to be for my 4yr old niece - if anyone has seen them do you think it would be too "old" for her? It has got a star shaped light up mirror and 2 glitter nail varnish and a lipgloss type thing i'm not sure if you would class it as real or sort of play make up iykwim?

I bought one of these for my 5 year old niece and she loves it. She loves dressing up and puttin on her make up. Also managed to get her a glitter babes bag with lip gloss and stuff on. Im sure your niece will love it.x

Well, just phoned Boots, not getting the Sprig Discover Rig for my nephew, but it looks like 2 have miraculously appeared on eBay overnight, at more than twice the 75% off price
Don't know whether or not to just bite the bullet and get it from there.
Such is life.

I was in The Fort Glasgow yesterday and didnt fancy much of what was left but did get my crackers for next year.

I found someones advantage card in the machine near the pharmacy counter and handed it in to the tills there. I think the name on the card was something like MacTaggart so if it was yours your points should be safe.

I have just phoned and was told the order must be lost in the system and the best thing to do was to cancel it and reorder so i said i cant as it was in the sale and things i ordered have now gone back to full price. So once again the person on the other end of the phone has said he will ring me back so i live in hope

Just saw on HUKD that the Sanctuary site has their Christmas sets at 50% off. Not as good as 75%, and you pay £2.50 shipping, but anyone who was desperate for some of this might want to take a look. The sets start at £4 and go up to £25, a wide range of products.

It's £30 plus delivery at ELC and Sainsburys - effectively the same price as eBay, but at least you know who you're dealing with (and there's always the codes/cashback/find instore possibility too)

I can't imagine wanting to be identified from the forum while in Boots! You don't know who's reading this. Maybe it's not a big deal when we're just talking about doing it at the current sales, but I know in the past when working some glitch -- like getting to use two different points vouchers and a money off coupon on something that was already on sale -- I would've died if an employee knew I was on MSE and mentioned something about me working the glitches! Or another MSEr coming up and loudly saying something in front of an employee!

Not to mention there are a a small number of people on these forums who, how shall I say this, are a bit nutso. There, that's a good way to put it. Some of them you don't notice until you've been on a long time and read a lot of the posts, and I sure wouldn't want someone with a wild case of crazy coming up to me and yabbering about MSE!

I couldn't agree more!!!!!!! I keep my MSEing to myself in real life as the people I know wouldn't get it, they would just think you were being tight lol. Little do they know!

im not very technicaly minded but i cant understand how they can send you an order conformation and then loose the order!!!i wouldnt normally be so anoyed about this but the fact that i stayed up half the night probably for nothing is really irritating !!!!:mad:
