Thought id mention this incase you hadn't discovered it yourself

As many of you probably knew there was a post on the freebie board a few months ago about free lippy or mascara at boots.Basically if you went to the AP machine you could get a voucher for £2 of any lipstick or mascara.And as all products in the natural collection range are under £2 freebie ahoy.
So I went along got my free mascara and kicked myself that I only had 1 card thinking it was a one off.
So the other week I was in boots went to the AP machine hoping to find another nice voucher and there it is again,£2 off any lipstick or mascara.Yay so i grabbed a free mascara for my mum.
Went in yesterday thought I'd chance my arm and there it was again.
Look to me like it might re-set every couple of weeks.:j:j:j
However dunno if the offer will totally change in the new year.Hope not my mum just gained a likinbg for natural collection stuff to and i want to stock her up!Oh and BTW looks like it works on the wand type lipsticks too not just the traditional wind up ones.I asked a nice SA and he tried it it worked :j

Hope you all had a wonderful and lovely Christmas. Just a flying visit from me. Feeling particularly wound up this afternoon because of some stupid ebay sale. Sold an item in excellent condition and now the buyer is claiming there is 2 big holes in it! There wasn't when I sent it :eek: I sold it to make a little bit of cash and now i'm going to be out of pocket with the double postage costs... Anyway - these things happen!!! Always a good place to get things off your chest and bang the keyboard

Congrats PM on your upcoming wedding! Exciting times... I've got 3 friends that are getting married this year and it seems to be the year of big birthdays too! Plus my 11 month old is really learning to walk now so lots of fun ahead.

Wishing you all a Happy and Healthy 2012 (not including the New Year's Day hangovers) :A x

Breaking a New Years resolution doesn't count as it isn't New year yet- does it?

Was going to try and start being more sensible with my money but heard that La Senza was likely to be disappearing so just went out and bought 8 bras as I just love them and can't find others that fit as well.

They were all cheap though, around 50%+ off- so I don't feel quite so bad.

Walked home via Asda - the queues were horrendous.
