    I still need to catch up on the thread but first it's confession time....

    Took my pedicure sets back to boots :j Woop, I remembered! How and ever, because I didn't have a receipt, I had to spend the money there and then :eek: So....

    I bought them for £8.99 each (plus 2x free bag sets, which may or may not still be in a drawer upstairs :whistle:) minus £5 off when you spend £50 (4 items, so 2.50 off )and cashback so got two of them for 14.85. They gave me 24.99 each for them, just like Bronnie said :D

    I am now the 'proud' (and slightly, but not too much, sheepish) owner of £86.49 worth of wrapping paper (which I really didn't need, but can give to my mum/sis/random visitors to the house :A), toothpaste, toothbrushes, dry shampoo (which I said yesterday I needed, therefore not a total fail today ;)), mitchum deodorant (my favourite), another p&p hot cloth cleanser, lots of lipbalms, a couple of little gift sets for any potential kids parties that my daughter is invited to and a denman brush, seeing as my current one is too big since I had my hair cut :rotfl:

    Today I paid £1.17.

    On a lighter note... would anyone care for a 'luxury cranberry and orange flavoured biscuit'? :A
