I make it £57.50 but even so, after paying only £13.50 for all that you got over 76% off!!! Thats even better than the non-existent Boots sale :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Well done!!!

Ohh thanks...76% wow!! This cheers me up! I'm just waiting on my quidco now.

Shame the amazing discounted item is for my sisters birthday:p. I phoned up my mom to tell her, and told her that if she told my sister I'd be very unimpressed.

Forgive me forum for I have sinned! (kind of) got my hair done today the usual full head of foil highlights and a trim, courtesy of a groupon voucher I bought before christmas £29 instead of something ridick like £105! However the hairdresser remarked on how my hair is in such bad condition (frazzled with bleach) so I bought dumb blonde reconstructor - basically a protein packed conditioning treatement. £15.50 but I actually really need it - I don't have any treatments and I only have one conditioner left.

So an IN, and no outs as I have hardly had any time to have baths (don't worry I've still been taking showers :rotfl:)

Wow, 29 items is pretty impressive. Bag them up and the DON'T LOOK IN THE BAG AGAIN!! When I do this for the charity shop, I gradually pick the items back out again.....only to be back in the charity shop bag again the following month...!

Good thinking JB
I'll sellotape the box up after reading the forum!:p

PLEASE stop mentioning L'Occitane.:(:D

I love it and always find it so soothing. But as someone else said, it takes forever to get through. I've got one of those huge body cleansing milk things to get through at some point!! I must make sure I enjoy it rather than count the days before I've used it up!;)

Does it count that I bought some Mens L'Occitane for my BF's birthday today! (Well its his birthday tomorrow). I never heard of it until my Mum bought me some for Christmas, but I havent started using mine yet. So many other things still to use.:D

Another UU for me - one of those tiny tins of fair trade foot lotion. Dont need to buy again as I started on the full size one last night

Still no more ins since buying the Deo although I can't help but keep my eye on the B 75% sale thread;);)

juliebunny - I did see your post about not claiming the £1000, devastating. Let's hope they give it to your charity instead!

Re my mobile - my OH put it back together this afternoon after it was in the rice bowl overnight and it works :T:T:T. A few watermarks on the screen, but I can live with that .

I'm being a bit naughty I think as well - I ordered some Thermafirm Face Lifting Cream from Avon (that I've already confessed to) as I had a sample that I loved (and it was on offer from £20 to £13), and a lip balm which was allowed as I am digging my old one out of the bottom with my nail now . It came today and I got a free extra pot of the face cream (I knew this was coming, it's small and cute and I will save for my hols), I also got a sample of Anew Reversalist Day Cream and a full size Supershock mascara! :T. I can't help but be pleased, sorry

Yesterday I returned £33 worth of sale stuff that I don't think I will really give away to friends back to Boots.

Today I managed to find a Sanctuary gift box in the sale, which I bought for £20 my best friend's upcoming birthday.

Overall I'm in credit, which is good.

So from the 50% off sales I have bought (all for presents, mind, but if they don't get used up, I won't say no to using them eventually! ):

S&G Wait on Hand and Foot
S&G Pamper Proof
S&G Glow Biz
Lavender Soap and Hand Lotion Set
Boots Extracts Bag of Treats
Sanctuary wash bag
Sanctuary gift box

So I make it that I have spent £53.00 for £106.00 of things that will be nice presents for my friends during the year.

I've got two little gifts of small Boots collection hand lotion and body butters left from last year, but I gave everything else I bought in the sale away during the year (and there was a lot more than that!).

I think the S&G and the Sanctuary stuff wouldn't have got through to the -75% sale anyway as they are just too popular. If I'm lucky (and if the sale is on the right day next week when I'm not working/not working til later *crosses fingers* I might stand a chance of getting some seriously reduced Boots own brand products, but I don't think I'm going to be off the day of the sale this year, so I've done pretty well given.

I also bought two Burt's Bees kits for less than a fiver on Amazon, so I think that's me pretty much kitted out for the year in terms of presents.

I would love to get some boys smellies sets for my brother's birthday in the -75% sale, but I shall have to see if the gods are smiling down on me. I might risk one really nice one at 50% off.

Cor, that's pretty organised, isn't it?!

And I SWEAR that all those kits are going to be presents - honest! :A *Remembers extravangent purchases of S&G pink tote and £30 bundle with shame*

I use freederm when I ahve bad spots, I have 'general' ones all the time. It does work for me but I can't use it all the time as my skin beccaome immune to it. I can;t get on with avon as it left my skin sore and itchy, but it depends on the person and skin type I think

Thanks. Think I'll give the Freederm a miss if your skin becomes immune to it as mine no doubt would with the number of spots I get!
