Confession time ladies... I may have pulled off the greatest glitch EVER online... about £700 of Molton Brown stuff for free if it works!!!! :eek: I will fill you all in soon (and will post it on Grabbit too, just want to see if it works first as it seems too good to be true and no confirmation email yet) xo

Sorry to go OT but I can't stop thinking about that poor girl who was murdered in Bristol and her family... maybe it's because it happened at Christmas so is all the more tragic. Obviously for them it's tragic no matter what time of year but it's not fair that they should have their daughter taken away from them when others have their families around them at what is meant to be a time of celebration. RIP.

You've got me intrigued too Tara

Also agree about that girl, even worse finding out on Christmas Day too. I spent Christmas Day with my family for the first time in about six years this year and have to say it was one of my best Christmases I've had in a long time. Lots of tears and laughter.

R54 - I'd email head office. This is a sale of goods act thing - not fit for purpose nor as described - and not a changed my mind thing. Really not good enough. Sounds like Body Shop are toughening up and not sticking to consumer rights.

it was last year just mentioned it after someone else had probs:)

That looks like a good deal, no wander you're finding yourself tested. Luckily for me I wouldn't use most of it.

That does look good value. Do you need any of the products or could gift some of them?

mummyofonechild

I only need a couple of them as received a tote bag for christmas. Could probably gift the rest?

I think that's why I haven't bought it. When you look at the contents I would not use it all. Its still tempting though.

Right errr, bum! I bought my Holy Grail cleanser products today - as Debenhams had a gift with purchase offer. These were part of my no buy for 3 months things. *sighs* But the 2 cleansers I have in use are spluttering, and I only had 1 in stash (xmas pressie). So a slight telling off but it was a really good MSE deal.

Spent £33 on 2 cleansers - unfortunately my skin is mega sensitive when it comes to cleansers and I have tried other brands and frankly wasted money *tarting* around. So now I stick to what my skin likes.

But the gift with purchase items were the following (but a 30ml not 50ml):
http://www.boots.com/en/Clarins-Super-Restorative-Night-Cream-50ml_10662/ £66
http://www.boots.com/en/Clarins-Extra-Firming-Night-Cream-All-Skin-Types-50ml_20589/ £47
http://www.boots.com/en/Clarins-Multi-Active-Day-Cream-for-Early-Wrinkle-Correction-All-Skin-Types-50ml_984537/ £37
So if I in crude maths even just halve the prices above, the gift with purchase stuff = £33 + £23.50 + £18.50 = £75 RRP. Err so quite a lot really. And with the winter I am using a heavier moisturiser. And I resisted loads of gift sets in Debs - even when OH offered to buy me one, I was like no - I have loads of stuff - he looked quite narked, bless.:A

But it just shows how quickly I've been seduced. Think I am going to have to cold turkey! I know I will run out of exfoliator next so that may also be within the 3 month thingie - I'll update that plan ready for the January thread - anyone started that yet?

Just Spotted this on Grabbit:

Free Clinique Mascara

Take your old mascara to Debenhams 17-30 January and you'll receive free deluxe mascara.

any old mascara or does it have to be a clinique one? (I think I know the answer but hoping for a different one lol)

Sorry, don't know for sure but when the offer was on at Boots you could exchange with any mascara.
