    Hi Ladies, I did go to Boots, but only bought the vitamins & Sanctuary cleanser. Dad wanted vits too so got those in the 342, so got some time to figure out the night cream.

    It's gone on the next page & I'm on my mobile, so whoever replied to me about the cleanser, thank you!! Will edit this post when on pc. Offers have just changed yesterday, so I think the the cycle is three weeks until next offer. I did get the gwp with the cleanser, which will probably GA.

    ETA: Thanks Skyllo!! They didn't have the normal/dry night cream at the stand I was looking at (not the No7 counter) so left it. Have also been considering S&Gs A Night in Shining Armour. Why is it so difficult to even choose a night cream??!

    On a happier note, I've just ordered a Garnier BB Cream sample via Boots (hopefully this link works: http://www.boots-samples.com/garnier/b-b-cream/thanks.html)

    Xxx

    Thank you - I've just ordered one to.

    Hi to everyone. I haven't been on for a few days - there have been lots of posts. Really enjoying reading all about the different products people like and dislike. Thank you.

    Sorry to hear that some of you are suffering healthwise. We have had some lovely bright sunny weather today. Hopefully some of you might have shared the same weather and that may be helping you all feel a bit brighter. Jarus xx

  • Jarus - I'm glad that the link worked :beer:

    UU15 - L'Occitane Rose 4 Reines Hand Cream (10ml) This was a lovely treat everytime I used it. Very highly scented so a little goes a long way. WBA in a sale/included in a gift but probably not at full price.

    We really enjoyed The Woman in Black at our local theater a coupleof years ago, but it looks like we're waiting for the DVD before watching the film, but i did treat myself to a copy of the book.

    Saw the woman in black on Saturday. it's really good and captures the spirit of the book well, but poor old Daniel Radcliffe still can't act. He's still relying on the limited range of facial expressions he used in the Harry Potter films. I saw the 'defiance when facing Voldemort' face several times........

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    It still had the chiller feel about it with a few jumps. We did struggle a bit with Dan as the lead but it was still quite enjoyable.

    That's a lovely bag LM and it is now limited stock so you were right to get it when you did :)
    No uu action tonight!

  • how much has everyone got for the value of this months JB? i got £12.75 after hunting the internet, converting one from euro to pounds because you cant buy it in the UK and guessing the size of one of them and prob over-estimating. glad i still only pay £10 for it because i'm an early subscriber, those paying £12.95 will have lost money this month! shocking really.

    also, the "full size" isn't a full size, it is available in proper tubes and pots which are the full size. we got a "trial size" according to the companies website. :mad:

    This was my first box with JB, I think it's OK, but not great!! I'll see what they're like for the next few months, at the moment I think the Amarya box is way better :D

    I'm afraid the urge to shop is strong today as I really need cheering up. I've been feeling Ill all week and have woken up this morning with a bad back, and have been hobbling around all day. Then I have some bad news regarding an elderly Aunt, she had a stroke last week and seemed to be recovering well, but she has had further problems and things do not look good.
