    Who says I don't do shopping :eek: - didn't have a choice with 3 women! Bloomingdales was pretty good and we had lunch there!


    We never got to Bloomingdales:( passed it on the Limoliner on way back from Boston. Good excuse to go back:D;) See Jeferey do posh shopping we do bargain basement at Century 21:D:p

    Can't understand people that go just for a few days from the UK as pay so much, just for shopping unless they already seen all the sights I suppose we struggled with a week:rotfl:

    Had a mixed result from Boots shop this morning 3 clinique products worked with extra points + a bonus free gift:T:j

    Elizabeth Arden didn't as in store says skincare me purchased cheap makeup which works online:( but you need to spend £50 to get £7.50 pts rather than £30. Not realising I got 2 eyeshadows that were half price as being discontinued then asked about lipstick which online were £11.23 decided on 2 only then she explained wouldn't get the other pts as no skincare. No prices marked on their display for lipstick so went back to ask £19.99 each:eek::eek::eek:. Then I done a childish thing was too embarrased to say didn't want them anymore so left them on other shelves thing is she also booked me in for a make up demo don't really want but didn't know how to say no so she has my name and phone no and when they find the lipsticks she gone to know it was me anyway how paranoid am I being. Sometimes I wished I had more backbone:o:o:o probs never going to change now.

    total spend £65.50 Used £40 L2S vouchers £16 Gift card so paid £9.50 cash got total £25.70 in points added to card

    :rotfl::rotfl: - I agree, too much to see and do. We went to Bloomindales after we'd had a wander round Central Park - lovely sandwiches and reasonable price too. The only other shop we spent a bit of time in was Apple Store - DD2 wanted an iPad3.
    If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try - oh bu99er that just cheat :D
