    That is a great glitch! £40 of points right?! I avoid the grab it thread... but may need to keep a beady eye on it :D


    I look at the grabbit most days but do try to resist, sometimes it's very hard though :o
    I did resist the YSL glitch though :T
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    IlonaRN - I will keep you in mind when I do my clear out in a couple of weeks. Have an exam next week, so delaying my clear out abit... although I do on a daily basis whilst revising have an urge for all sorts of clearing & organising :rotfl: A swap would be lovely!

    Have a nice evening ladies!

    Xxx
    I concur! I have exams on Friday next week and Tuesday the week after, and it's soooo tempting to do anything but study! :rotfl:

    Please make room on the naughty step. Hell, I think I deserve my own flight of naughty stairs right now.

    I went to Boots this morning. I needed to buy some false nails (event tomorrow, broken nail) and the nail products were on three for two. One counts as an IN:

    Elegant touch get'em off 200ml

    as I didn't have any acetone nail polish remover. The other other INs were a four way buffer as my last one was no longer working, and the false nails.

    I also had a further three INs from Boots:

    Tresemme 24 hour body shampoo 500ml
    Tresemme 24 hour body conditioner 500ml
    Umberto Giannini incredible body plump up volumising mask for big hair 200ml

    I do need new shampoo and conditioner as my currents are running out shortly, and as they were also on the three for two, I grabbed the mask, hoping it would be a cheaper version of Ojon. We shall see...

    All the above were paid for on Boots points and were therefore free.

    Then tonight I went to the L'Occitane girls night out. Wine, chocolates, chatting...

    I spent £44 :o and my stash list is as follows:

    L'Occitane almond shower oil 250ml
    L'Occitane almond shower oil refill pouch 500ml - special purchase price of £35 instead of usual £43.50 with 10% discount taking it to £31.50.

    Almond Discovery COllection for £12.50 with purchase:

    L'Occitane almond shower oil 75ml
    L'occitane firming and smoothing milk concentrate 50ml
    L'Occitane Almond cleansing and exfoliating delicious soap 50g
    L'Occitane almond smooth hands hand cream 30ml

    Goody bag free with purchase

    L'Occitane Spring Cherry iridescent shower gel 75ml
    L'occitane rose aurore radiant body milk 75ml
    L'occitane firming and smoothing milk concentrate 8ml sachet
    L'Occitane volumising shampoo 8ml sachet
    L'Occitane 25% Shea butter ultra rich body cream 8ml sachet
    L'Occitane divine cream 1ml
    L'Occitane Pivoine Flora hand cream 10ml

    Oh dear....such fun though! Between the three I think i have more than £150 worth of products

    Oh dear, I hope that you have a cushion for that naughty step:rotfl:

    Lovely haul of L'Occitane, the Almond shower gel is on my list of things to try, along with some Philosophy, when I get through my stash of shower gels and body creams, (about a year from now I think:o)

    Some more UU's to report.
    6-7. 2 more shampoo sachets. Just the kind that come free in magazines occasionally.
    8.S&G Scrub your nose in it- WNBA, sure this came in a gift set. Found the mint scent unpleasant on my face so have been using it as a body scrub.
    Have thrown out a Juicy Couture shower gel (prob about 4 years old and it smelt dodgy) and a Lush dream Cream (was half way used and smelled off.)
    So 10 UU's and no IN's. Have scent the Avon book back with no purchases and just waiting for the glossybox to arrive.
    April £5 a day challenge- £15.05/£150
