    Tara the flake promotion is different in Ireland. (flake.ie) There are no wrapper codes, it's the last 4 numbers of the barcode that are entered. The barcode just happens to be the same on every pack;)


    OOOOOh

    I know i shouldn't be pointing towards buying new stuff, but I really rate this for keeping away brassy-ness: Toni & Guy Platinum Blonde Shampoo

    It's not cheap, but I have higlighted hair, and it used to get brassy - this got rid of a lot of brassiness in the first wash, and it's never got remotely brassy since. (John Frienda and other 'blonde' ranges never did much at all) I have another friend with really really light highlighted hair, and she also swears by it. I don't know if it would fix your hair instantly, and it is a new (not cheap!) buy - but if you're really stuck, it might help.

    Thanks fixx,

    Can you buy this schampoo in Boots or do I need to go to their hair salon? I might consider buying this since I am having my hair highlighted in a couple of weeks.

    Yep, Boots sell it - £5.49 :eek: I think it's worth it though - it's lasted ages for me.

    Does anyone know if boots over do vouchers for T&G products?

    The best I can think of is the "Hairy" - £2 off any professional range haircare product (full size only). Other than that, it's what the ACM spits out but I can't recall often seeing anything for T&G stuff.

    Got a couple of bits in Boots today as I spied that they were on Bogof and they are things that I would need within the next two months.

    Sure deoderant (have one in stock but will probably use that up in April) so BOGOF meant I got 2 for £2.49

    and Colgate whitening toothpaste (again have one in stock but likely to start that next week as the one I am on has nearly run out) so another BOGOF 2 for £2.49

    bought a seed bar as well as I was a bit peckish and therefore got a £5 voucher. Bought my mum a base coat for her nail varnish as when I was doing her nails the other day there she said she didn't have any, so £1.25 on that but not counting it in my annual budget as it will be popped in as a wee extra for her birthday.

    Wasn't tempted by anything else. Decided I would start using up my small 5ml protect and perfect serums as I have 13 of those (all from GWPs) and thought using them up will make a bigger dent in my stash. Still have a couple of 7ml, a 25ml and a 30ml to take if I am away anywhere so using up the wee ones will be fine.

    Going to have a PYNF as my last coat hasn't lasted as long as I wanted it to and they look shocking.

    Nothing used up to report this morning but have been filling and emptying my bodyshop basket.I really would love the sweet lemon range, it smells delicious as I smelt it in store and I have been craving lemon citrus drinks and foods so I know this will stop me snacking on lemon iced cakes .I would get a better deal aswell by ordering online so should I or should I not?
    I would be ordering a lyb card , pack of vitamin e wipes and cleanser from anitas faves too aswell.
    Love can tame the wildest

    Do you actually need any of those? If not, I doubt the lemon range will disappear too quickly - so you can buy whatever type of lotion or potion you want when you actually need to replace something rather than now. And there's always another BS glitch just around the corner :)
