    Thanks petal :D

    I am baffled that I got it, fair play to them for honouring it (although they mustn't have realised lol).

    Think about it like though, the person packing boxes of internet orders in a warehouse wouldn't really check if it was paid for because all internet orders have to be paid for when you order them. So there's no need to check, just box it up and on to the next one. That might also have been a very normal order for a shop like harrods, lots of their customers can probably afford more than 1 bottle:rotfl:

    hey i was wondering if any1 could help me out- darling mother loved clinques rich texture blush in the shade 03 rich tawny but they no longer do it. does any1 have it and would they consider a swap/money for it. tried ebay and everything but no luck!! going shopping tomorrow and friend wants to go to boots-wish me luck! saying that it is my birthday soon so if i get anything as a present it wouldnt be my fault:A

    Hi, as a last resort why don't you try makeupalley.com. I swapped loads of items on there last year when I was out of work. Was great for trying different things without the financial lay out.

    Oh no ALERT! :rotfl: My plan is/was to buy a large Pantene shampoo to use up the 2 crappy conditioners I have and then hopefully a 3 for 2 S&G will come along in the mean time so I can buy 2 S&G conditioners (to go with my 2 tote S&G shampoos:o) and a treat!If this can't happen I will be very sad, I don't really have a shampoo stash so was proud of using 2 oldies up for the S&G joys... I like my shampoo and conditioner to match!

    Does that make any sense?!! :o I will not give in yet hey ho... the plan will happen!

    No UU or Ins - all good here xxx

    I know. I'm a bit miffed cos online it's 3for2 so I planned to pay for one in cash, pay for one with points and then get a shampoo free but it's not to be. Going to go into the larger Boots today to see if I get any joy.

    BTW can someone tell me how I do multiple quotes in one post? Cheers

  • Hi girls!

    I've been reading all week but it was moving way too fast for me to post!!

    INs this week:
    S&G Clean Girls, The Daily Smooth, mini Scrub 'em and Leave 'em, mini Mist You Madly (all from a gift set from the Boots sale). The body wash and body butter were needed, and add up to more than I paid, so the scrub and spray were freebies really.

    UUs:
    Lush American Cream conditioner (had it since February). This is my HG conditioner so of course I WBA. It's good for my very fine, very straight hair as it's so light. I have one more in my stash, and as it's my only stashed conditioner, I get to use it straight away! Last year when I was doing this challenge, I had loads of conditioners to use up, which was not fun.

    Have a nice week everyone!

    American Cream... It's so good to know someone else has hair like me Rebecca.
    Oh well, if they still make it, I know what conditioner to get for my baby fine (but lots of it) straight hair next year - or when I run out of conditioner!
    Another good way to avoid spends.... I've got my grandchildren to care for unexpectedly today. Lovely to see them ...but no chance of going shopping!
    I've never ever, bought toiletries online....
    I won't start!

    It's Andrea or And by the way, a lot more friendly than 'mcculloch29' -I'm hopeless at remembering nics :o so I only ever use these two, or small variations on the theme.
    I'll try and remember to sign off like this:)
