  • Quick favour, peeps, from anyone about to put their order in....

    Can you check if the gel mask is in stock (HT6 Clearance) in C4 item no. 56994?

    Thanks (my order's not due for another 10 days)

    I'm just putting C3 through so it won't let me check this. Did have a try for you though.
    It's not the eye mask is it?

    May I suggest if anyone requires anything, they use the Facebook page to request items please?

    There was a thread just before Christmas, where someone told us they were in dire straights with young children, and no money coming in, benefits wouldn't come through for a while, etc, etc. and I know from the way people were posting they sent food, clothes and probably money to this poster. And then the poster stopped posting.... people asked again and and again if they were ok, and to let everyone know how they were getting on, but all went quiet :(

    Which is EXACTLY why MSE do not allow us to exchange details, swap/sell/offer free items.

    believe me, there are some VERY strange people on MSE! I have seen first hand how STRANGE they are.

    I'm afraid that my view is always that someone posting on here wants advice, and support. I am happy to provide either, but I would under NO circumstances do anything which would leave me out of pocket because, as you say, there are some seriously strange people out there who look straight past the fact that a lot of folk are on here because they are either in debt, or are struggling to make ends meet, and feel that it is acceptable to prey on their better nature to get something for nothing. :mad:

    Perhaps that makes me mean? Or unkind? Hmmm....prefer to think of it as "charity beginning at home" myself! :D

    Having been C*cking myself over not making HOV on this Campaign, I got three orders through on the e-mail yesterday (all F&F ex customers of Elliebee's) and am now well over. I think creative ordering is going to add an additional £15 or so onto my earnings this time too - I've noticed that I have a £6.50 lipstick showing as FOC thanks to the "2 for 1" offer in C2 - another customer had ordered 2 Mascaras!

    Also, for anyone with someone ordering the Far Away 50ml Eau de Parfum from C2 - the Gift set is priced at £1 less, and has the same perfume spray in it.....I'm ordering both in case the gift set goes OOS but will give the customer the gift set instead of the perfume if it comes through OK.

    Happy Bunny here! :cool:

    *sigh* looks like my delivery is running late too... wish they'd phone to let you know when they're going to be late! First delivery I got was before 8am, second about 10am and it's now 11:30 and no sign of it (another was left on my doorstep a DAY early lol) - so much for consistency! :)
    Wouldn't mind but need to drive 15 miles on a space saver tyre in hubby's car to pick up his repaired alloy that cracked and then go get a new £200 tyre put on it which thankfully the garage is paying for! It'll only be the £40 for fixing the rim (and then 4 new alloys as soon as he can afford them as apparently these are known for cracking... ARGH!!!) - but I have orders to organise and NO-ONE is doing ANYTHING on time today!!! GRRRR

  • Thanks. Yes, it's the gel eye mask.

    Its in the back of HT5 but with a different code (60376) and that one gives the magical green tick. Don't know if that helps you though x

    Thanks for your help; typical, has gone up 25p.... Looks like it should still be in stock when I put my order in next week.

    MrsTine, I don't know if it would be possible to see an example of the Newsletter you send with your books!?

    Also! The inconsistency of your deliver sounds absurd! Mine's been between 7.30am and 7.45am every time!

    Depends on the driver ... if my delivery comes with my regular driver then its always between 7:45am and 8:15am. Over Christmas it was with a different driver, and despite the courier company saying it would be "an hour either way of your usual delivery time" (yes, I was hoping it didn't turn up at 6:45am!!), he turned up at 11:30am the first time. Bit better the second time - 8:30am.

    Mine are usually really regular too but the campaign before Christmas the scheduled delivery date was one day earlier than normal (it was documented as such although ALL my deliveries actually arrive the day before Avon say they will! :rotfl:)
