    Thanks

    Dont worry about spending lots of money, I also work with children and I am grateful for just a plain old thankyou or a nice card. I have a few lovely cards that children have made me in the past in a keepsake box. Saying that a little nailpolish would make a nice pampering present after spending the year marking work! :D

    Have read through but no one has actually said if the 341 works? Has anyone tried it yet or am i stuck with 342's.

    I have been getting the moisturising gloves.

    to give as gifts along with this from Avon

    http://avonshop.co.uk/product/bath-and-bodycare/hand-cream/skin-so-soft-age-defying-overnight-corrective-hand-cream.html

    Its half price at the moment but its very often on offer for 1pound. It comes in a box too so looks posh.

    Hi CRAZYPOSHGAL. In response to your question, yeah, it does work mate. I got 3 items today and paid for 1 and a bit (No 7 item was £7.50 so had to pay £2.50 for that after £5 had been taken off). Not been into my local store for ages, so all the SA's were like HI, HOW ARE YOU, NOT SEEN YOU IN AGES, HAVE YOU LOST WEIGHT blah blah blah. So whilst filling them in with my gossip and what not, they put all my items through, told me the total and ta dah, no one was the wiser. I got No 7 Anti Shine Lotion £7.50 Soap and Glory Off Your Face £3.97 Soap and Glory Off Your Face £3.97. The 3 4 2 kicked in and took off £3.97, and the £5 No 7 coupon kicked in and took off £5 from the £7.50 Anti Shine Lotion. So the total was £6.47 (£3.97 for 1 x S+G Off Your Face and £2.50 for the No 7 Anti Shine Lotion). Had I have got a No 7 item for £5.00, my total would have been just £3.97 for 1 item. **** Word of warning, I tried with the No 7 item being the cheapest (got some dodgy looking diamond shaped No 7 things for £3.50 and 2 other skincare products for £4.50 each, and it didn't work. The No 7 item CANNOT BE THE CHEAPEST cos the computer said something like CANNOT USE COUPON ON THE ITEM THAT IS FREE ON THE 3 4 2. On the receipt, it does the 3 4 2 first, and then it takes off the £5 No 7 coupon. Bear this in mind peeps.

    Can echo what Mimi said - today I got 1 x no 7 facial wipes ((£6.50), 2 x Time Delay wipes At £3.99 each (thought I'd give them a try as the packaging looks suspiciously like the No 7 wipes but a different colour!). The till took one of the £3.99 wipes off as free, so total came to £10.49. With the £5 voupon the total for 3 items came to £5.49.
    BTW - I was not a regular poster on the old thread, but would like to say how great it is to see Mimi's post xx

    There's also £1 off TD voucher from the ACM. May not be available to everyone, but worth checking :)

    Hi mimi. Nice to see you posting again :)

    Oops, I was offered the £1 off but thought I would never use it as the TD is so often part of a £5 off voucher I would never buy the stuff at full price. Then I immediately went and picked up the wipes and forgot about the ACM offer. Doh :o
