am I correct in thinking the Botanics deal only works with the new style bottle now?

lots of people can get free over the counter medicines not just children but people on certain benefits - its called the minor ailment scheme - ask your pharmacist if they have signed up as its only in some areas
its only for certain conditions - colds allergies head lice ect but worth looking in to
most of lancashire is in the scheme if that helps anyone

See if she'll put the Botanics Glow Lotion and razors thru the till, and ask for her advice about the product:-

"Is this stuff any good? I don't want to end up going orange, it's such a tacky look..."

(Best done if there's a queue of people waiting!)

LOL Baby you are the best

4mb nano-I haven't seen them online!
My store says they will order a nano for you -can you use your points to do that?

Hola cannyscot
Yes you can buy the ipod nano with your points 129 quid worth of points.
Online you can also buy it. I got a 10% discount , plus 1500 or so points so
in theory you get the 4gb ipod for the price of the 2gb. Just depends what you want to do. HTH.

I am ringing them on Monday to ask them how to return the ipod I bought online as in principle I wanted to buy it with points.
