    YES!!! What exactly do you neeeeed from BS....:rotfl:

    I'm sure I could think of something, I actually really want to try their seaweed range but 1 voucher is enough :o

    I think I'm now having a splurge and buying just for the sake of it. Just wondering has anyone tried any of M&S toliteries, I'm using some Tess Daly stuff and really liking it but just wodering whether there are any recommodations?

    Unusual for me! Hope you get your vouchers accepted - how rude!



    I definitely agree :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:



    You're an angel :A Think your bf should buy you a present for being so good...might I suggest a £12 groupon/bs voucher? :rotfl:

    Excellent idea! :T:T

    Thanks juliebunny :A



    I'm staying very quiet...don't want to be accused of being an enabler :rotfl:

    Sounds like something out of terminator!!

    At least the BS vouchers are valid for a while so those succumbing can always hold onto them until they actually need something....:rotfl:.....mind you having seen some of their stashes.

    I'm not a :A really, since I spent £100 in BS in Jan in the sale BOGOF...some for gifts and some for moi. I think it's the guilt from that still hanging around plus payday is still 2 days away :(!!

    It is really hard though when you haven't bought anything for a while, you do get a bit itchy.....LOL!
    Less stuff, more life, love, laughter and cats!
    Even if I'm on the shopping threads, it doesn't mean I'm buying! Sometimes it's good to just look and then hit the CLOSE button!

    I actually thought this was quite low.....:)...didn't I see you over on the BS offer today too....:rotfl:

    I looked at it, but genuinely couldn't see myself spending 30 quid in one go in there, so left it at that. I consider that something of an achievement :)

    In Lush, on the other hand, it'd probably be a piece of cake...

    Erm, can I be a half?

    Haven't bought it yet, but will when I get home! I know, it's naughty, but there are a few things I want (ok, don't need :p), and my birthday is at the start of April, so I get a free gift for that really soon :)

    Ladies, help meeeeeee! Struggling majorly with buying/not buying the BS voucher. If I go for it - the options are:

    Use it to buy one of the medium gift sets (£20) and 4 shower gls (£10) so getting 5 shower gels, a BB, a scrub, a soap and a shower puff for my £12 OR
    Hang onto it until one of the BS's frequent sales, with the knowledge that I MIGHT get a better deal then, but, if not, the other deal is still there anyhow.

    Honestly, I don't *need* any of the above right now, but I do know from the challenge that the BS shower gels are pretty much up there as a HG product, and I would probably buy those in due course on the 4 for £10 deal anyway, thus meaning that the rest of the gubbins would only really be costing me £2, plus I get the LYB card for nothing which will give me the free gift in my birthday month as another free "in".

    So - the questions are:

    a) Can I justify it? and
    b) Which way should I go with purchasing, do you think?
    c) Am I the only one to have been running this whole sorry dilemma through my head pretty much ALL morning?! :rotfl:

    when you put it that way, i think its perfectly justified, getting an awful lot more for your money and playing them at their own games!

    2 UU this morning -7ml Olay 3 Point Serum sample. I already have the full size of this and use it daily. I love it :T

    -the spluttering SD Plum & Cherry S/G. It was nice enough. Very fruity, if u like that sort of thing. Moving on to the gold Gok one now :D

    Me too :D - unlike the trial one I've got now :( Think that's going to end up as elbow cream or something.

    I like fruity shower gels, so I might have to check that out - I like the orange one that SD do......but I dont need any for a while! :cool:

    Samples of Head and Shoulders No Itch Shampoo and Conditioner. WIBA? It's pleasant enough to use and if I had an itchy scalp I might return to it, But not otherwise.
    Sample of Sanex Moisturising Shower Gel. 8ml. Only just enough to use on a body puff - but it was just enough. WIBA? Yes, if it was on offer. My skin did feel moisturised by it, hope it's still around when I need shower gel in 2012!

    Didnt know Head & Shoulders did a No Itch shampoo - probably cos I've not looked at the shampoo shelves instore for a while. :D Might try that though, cos I cant be doing with the Polytar smell :(
