    the photo counter with a young man is the place to buy it - buy wipes and a few other bits, confuse him with a mix of using points and buying, distract by asking him for a bag and then drop things so he has to pick things up - result, a ROC bag going through without any problem

    Congratulations - Lindsey Jnr is due on my birthday!!! :T :T


    Very interested to see what some of you are saying about P&P. My account has suddenly been restricted to selling to the UK only until I'm verified....but I am!! :rolleyes: Am only allowed to sell to UK so hoping to shift remaining P&P's fast - have listed in pairs. Lilaclily - I sold a pair for £44 before my a/c got restricted.

    What's the best deal to spend the £2 voucher on? I don't really want to spend anything (cause I don't really need it), but it seems a shame to waste it.


    Thanks.

    Hi does anyone know if the £3 voucher in the stop smoking kit will work on any time delay or just the 2 listed. Only asking because the olay £3 face mask worked on an olay product......

    Hi,nice 1!!did you get the free lip plumper or is that offer not on anymore?


    You have a choice of the Time Delay eye cream or lip plumper as the freebie. They had a good stock of both but I chose the eye cream. I think the radiance balm, hand lotion, wipes and eye cream for £11.29 was a great deal (VAT free though).

    I've only been reading this thread for two weeks. I'd hardly visited Boots in years and already I've got nearly £30 worth of points and my skin is definitely benefitting.
