Damn Boots - first thing I saw when I checked my email was that offer - GGrrrrr - I can't afford it though so tough!! At least with the BS offer I didn't notice it until it was too late - had a wierd disappointment-mixed-with-happiness feeling when I realised I'd missed it :rotfl:

:cool:

Hi Sarah, nice to have you back on board. I took a big step today and unsubscribed from the Boots emails - I didn't mind the Boots.com ones but all the Treat street stuff was getting on my nerves!
I know exaccccctly what you mean too about when you miss an offer/it's sold out - it's that weird mixture of feelings!!

Had a little browse around town this afternoon and managed to get all 4 Glamour mags I wanted - so 4 IN's - the lip gloss (which is in the colour I use anyway) the Superbalm (not my usual colour but perfectly wearable) the 7 day Scrub (my mini of this has just about run out) and the moisture surge (which is a bit of an essential for me when I'm in the cold winds of the Hebrides, which I will be again in just a few more weeks - hurrah! *Squeaks a little in excitement!* :j They are sitting on the table now looking.....cute! Very pleased I got the ones I wanted, and not in the least tempted by any of the others!

In case she's not about later - HAPPY HOLIBOBS ROSEMARY!

Just the FOUR then!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Out of interest, what you going to do with 4 mags.....someone on here said they were going to donate a couple to their doctors if I recall correctly...!!

Nice to have an Avon insider on board - my mum used to be an Avon rep when I was tiny. I remember we always had TONS of samples to play with, especially perfumes. I guess things are different now, it's all scratch and no sniff left by the time it gets to me....

PS - there are reports on the Boots thread that Ruby & Millie is being discontinued....may be some bargains to be had. Er, not that we would buy anything of course...

I'm going to try a Mitchums deodrant out of my stash next (not used this brand before - but read a couple of posts on the "no toiletries" threads that said it was their HG). I'm going to see if I can find this month's Glamour? mag during my lunch break tomorrow for the Clinque bits ssh don't tell anyone...

Hope you have a fab holiday Rosemary!



That's the one! Streaky and rubbish! Nails Inc never see to work for me

Erm, a tiny, tiny IN to report A sachet of Palmers Coconut Oil deep conditioning hair thingy jumped into my hands while I was waiting for my prescription (I'm a sucker for coconut things and thought I deserved a treat for going to the Doctors :rotfl:). It will be straight out tomorrow or Friday though. Promise! :A Will change my sig.

Does anyone know where I can buy a cheap blood pressure monitor from? I have to take some readings back to the surgery as apparently I'm too much of a panic-er and fidget to get a proper reading! :rotfl:

Ahh, another White Coat hypertension sufferer then - join the (quite sizeable!) club! My monitor is a Boots own brand one like THIS - it has a memory that stores readings and my Doctor is happy to accept those - I just take the base unit into the surgery and he takes the last one off the memory.

Welcome to the Newbies - and goodnight to one and all!

I find Mitchum very good indeed - and would go so far as to say that nowdays it's my HG deodorant.

The toothpaste gave a little splutter this morning so I guess I'll only get a few more days out of that, but have a spare in the stash as always.

Someone asked about the spare copies of Glamour - I'm going to pop one in the bag with the bits I take to the Homeless drop-in centre, and have already put one outside for the neighbours. The third was meant to go upstairs to my friend/neighbour but MrEH forgot to take it when he went up earlier! :rotfl:

Right, off for a shower and hopefully the final application of cream from the everlasting pot!

Hiya :wave:

I'm in again this month... and I can get off the naughty step....:D

I'm stuck at home for the next couple of days- on friday I was taken into hospital with awful abdominal pains and on sunday i had a huge ovarian cyst removed. Back home today and i'm in agony

Hi to all the newbies!

Hugs - hope you feel better soon

You can see why I have to use hand cream!! It's the first time I've used this colour (Nails Inc. Montpelier Square) but I have to say I really love it.

I don't normally wear metallic colours (shimmery yes), so it is quite 'blingy' but in a good way I hope

Love the nails, it reminded me that I have this colour too and not used yet, I also have Cadogan Square.... My DS says it looks like i have poo on the end of my fingers :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I dont need to buy anything in March, so no excuses, although I will be buying a certain magazine or two tomorrow I like Glamour anyway and I really want to try Clinique.....

Happy holidays Rosemary...
