Oooooo, I'd have to use a panoramic shot to get all my 'bootie' (see what I did there
) in the shot! And I've given away some suncream to my mum, 3 x glossy locks to my friend for her DD, and a bag of botanics goodies to my friend to pamper herself (she's just had a baby!).

Up for that, should get a pic of all our stuff! My girlfriend and I have hauled a massive amount from this deal, although she had all the guts to actually go and do the 6 4 1's! Probably going to do a mega car booting sale with it, but in the region of: -
18 glossy locks hair spritz
12 shimmer eye/lip sticks
20ish sun creams & fake tans (see below)
4 or 5 body waffles
3 or 4 other botanics items
10 or so botanics moisturisers inc. £9 mens one! (various mens & womens)
3 umberto giannini hair gloss sprays
3 Frizz ease hair sprays
1 Mark Hill conditioner
Plus loads i've forgotten about. We have 1 BIG boots bag absolutely full & now overflowing!
We've worked out it's worth something in the region of £300 or more... paid around £50 roughly. Boots in Exeter had a weird extra deal on giving away small bottles of No7 stuff with purchases for about 3 days, so managed to get things u couldn't on normal deal like fake tans etc!
All fun, If I get a chance I'll photograph it.....
Just gotta wait patiently for the next boots slip-up!

I got:
2 x facial aftersun £7.50 each
1 x Frizzease moisture barrier form hold hairspray £4.49
1 x NO7 wrap (free)
- £7.50 bogof
- £5.00 no7 voucher
- £3.00 hair voucher
= £3.99
I can't believe the hairspary was so expensive, positive I brought the same hairspray last week and only paid an extra 65p and not £1.49!!
I bought it the other day for £1.99 and noticed today it was £2.49We seek a world in which everyone with HIV/AIDS can live an abundant lifeWant to join us?0 -

You must have been lurking for ages if you remember my first post crabbysa! Sadly I no longer do it. To be honest I got a bit fed up doing it, then people coming along still asking questions when all the info was on the first post....along with Bham Daves very informative second post too. I still lurk, but dont post that much these days.:p0 -
WOW............Crabby SA.........I bow down to your bootsing......thats bloomin' brilliant. Who was it who wanted a personal shopper;)
I also remember the words of my friends, but I would rather have enemies than friends like you
would like to make it known that ZubeZubes avvy is a DHN, she's not dancing
