    As you all well know - buy any botanics item and get a mosituriser free. Good deal, needed some botanics stuff and needed a new moisturiser.

    Didnt like the first one i got, was too greasy, tried another and really liked it. So got a few more bits to get some more moisturisers when they were on offer.

    I noticeed yesterday that my face now has white lumps (think prickly heat but not red) all over it, and its the bloody moisturiser.

    But will I be able to take them back for an exchange [happily for a diff free moistriser that i can actually use!!] or will Boots just think Im being funny because I got them free with the other botanics product?

    Id probably leave it if it was just one, but seems a shame to waste my supply!!

    Any advice?


    Edit: my dad says it serves me right for being so bargain savvy!

    Going to use my last 2 x £5 vouchers and 5 x £3 ones. I'm going to buy the Radiant Glow foundation at £12.50 and 6 of the £5.50 suncare items (if they have them) all in one transaction. Will I be able to get the free bag? Will all this come to £18 - £5 = £13.


    I don't think new No.7 free gift available until 31st, tomorrow, but 342 will be finished then, think BOGOF will still be on though!

    I got 3x £3 vouchers this morning through the post, can anyone suggest what to get?? I usually use tresemme - Is John Freida any good? I have very frizzy uncontrolable hair which I attempt to straighten

    The Lee Stafford Poker Straight stuff is great for keeping your hair tame & straight, i have used the shampoo, conditioner & a de-humidifying spray, love them all

    Placed an order on line earlier this morning after seeing it posted on here that there was more at 75% off. Ordered the world beers for DH - 8 packs of 4 for £12 - he is happy. Only problem was I had to make it up to get free delivery. Shame. These offers have tostop soon as I am about broke with it all. Still at least I will have softskin, smell nice and have glossy hair. Thanks for the notification about the online stuff.

    My 13 year old daughter is also learning very fast and always heads immediately over to the CD/DVD section in Mr Ts to search out misprices.
    Is it morally OK to have ones children involved in all this? I think perhaps not really.

    Well my 4 year old was banging something on the tele, I told her to stop cos if she breaks it it will cost lots of money to buy another one which we have not got. She replied ' its ok we can just buy one at Tesco and they will give us lots of money back':o
