    I knew there was something I forgot to tell you :D

    In the Mail on Sunday there was an article about Champagne Sainsbobs - sainsbobs are having 2 levels of store and certain ones will stock premium brands of whiskey and oh so posh champagne.

    Most of the stores on the list are south and London as you would expect, almost none in Wales and Scotland and just a few north.

    Chester is on the list as you would expect, city store etc, our next nearest one.

    but I was gobsmacked to see my local also on the list - never realised that it was so affluent around here that people could afford £120 bottles of champers - explains the big revamp in the wine section last week.

    Needless to say within 2 miles of this store is a town with major unemployment, high teen pregnancy rates, large Eastern European population, very socially deprived

    Think it's the footballer belt, though isn't it? They sell more champagne in Wilmslow per head than anywhere else in the country, IIRC and that's not too far from you.

    Evening all

    Not caught up full but did see auntycaz mention Benefit makeup in a magazine. Just seen Marie Claire has a nice freebie this month of an avon gel liner, brow pencil and lipstick.
    Also Benefit at boots buy 2 and get a free pore kit or buy 3 and get pore kit and 1000 points. Can't find a glitch though but good offer if this is your makeup of choice.
    Been tot's to do a coupon shop. Also got some baby bubble bath.
    Please to get some wheat free bread reduced so almost free with bzz coupon.

    All ready for daughters arrival late tonight with dgd. Managed to put up new curtain track and put door back on room all by myself so pretty pleased.
    Stair carpet is being fitted early tomorrow morning so no more gripper to tread on:eek:

    Hope the little nerfs are feeling better. Reminded me of ds2 cheese allergy. When about 4 had been to dads for weekend, came home and rushed to the loo, poo all the way up the stairs:eek::eek: we have all been there nerfdad.

    Yeah but also not too far from Wilmslow, the edge and the like ;) Maybe they think the footballers might stop off on the way through :)

    The glitch is you can put in any 3 items from the Benefit range to get the 1000 points and the free Porefessional. It specifies that 1 item must be a mascara but that is not true. The cheapest option is the glue which is about £7.50, so 3 x £7.50 to get 1000 points and the free gift. HTH.

    I am waiting for other offers to be loaded on to MrShoes.com as I am sure there will be overlapping offers. Woop. Woop.

    Thanks mimi
    Don't need that much lash glue but was thinking of building up my lash store a bit more. Thing is my favourite ones are asda cheapies as like to cut length th suit.
    Must admit that mr shoes is my online store of choice when playing around looking for glitches. BS must have a new IT director as nothing since the hemp and I am nearly out of lavender bath powder.
    Stores will get a good going through by daughter. Last time she came down to stay was the end of the big sada glitch and she bought so much I had to deliver the rest the next time I went to babysit:D
    Be lovely to have another glitch fest while she is here, if not will have a trip to Ashford designer outlet for the next outlet stores baby clothes.

    Play your cards right and you can make an absolute killing. Normally the premium brands have a points offer and a gift offer which can both be combined. For example, buy 2 Clarins items and get a free gift, buy 3 Clarins items and get 1000 points and a free gift. In store offers are also quite good at times.

    Hope we get some offers soon. :D
