    Evening all hope you all ok.. I haven't the energy to read 100+ pages tonight.

    Been for a loiter on the Boots thread for a few days and got myself a few pressies and toiletries for the coming year so pleased.

    Just checking out vitamins for hubby got some on a good glitch last time but best I can find so far is the multibionta

    https://www.boots.com/en/Seven-Seas/Seven-Seas-Multibionta/Full-Multibionta-range/

    If anyone else in need these are reduced plus 3 for 2.

    Some other vitamins are 3 for 2 plus 20% too.

    Thank you so much everyone, you can't imagine how much your advice has helped me tonight :A:A:A
    They are almost home, so probably won't post again this evening, but I really do appreciate every word. I feel less traumatised and more confident to handle the situation :A:A:A
    Will update tomorrow with any news :)

    Don't quote me on this, but apparently, you can use those vouchers on the reduced NO7 items. Is it the NO7 make up voucher you have or skincare? I guess it's dependent on which SA you go to. If you check the clearance shelves at your local, there should be heaps of NO7 cosmetics that are down to £1 or £2.

    Mimi Nannylala tried to do this and was told no sorry not able to do that:eek:

    There was a sign up in my store to say you could not use the voucher with No 7 clearance, so I didn't even attempt it. :(

    Could any of you give me some advice please?
    Have just found out that my 14 yr old son was stupid enough to take his wallet to school yesterday (he needed £2, was running late, so just picked up his wallet). Wallet contained £200 - all of his Xmas and birthday money. He was also idiotic enough to leave it in school changing rooms while he played in a basketball match after school. Needless to say - wallet stolen :(
    He has confessed to DH while they are out, he will be back in approx 30 mins and I am totally furious with him - all kinds of sanctions are running through my mind - grounded for X amount of time/ no more basketball for the rest of school year/has to do chores to the value of the money lost etc etc.
    Do you agree that he should be punished for leaving his wallet unattended?
    All sensible suggestions considered ....
    Thanks for any advice, I am really struggling to rationalise this one. Obviously the thief is to blame, but son does know that things get stolen from school changing rooms. Will ring school tomorrow, but he has told teachers today and I don't think anything can be done xx

    Judge your son's reaction to it before you do anything, you may actually find your son is feeling dreadful and guilty amongst a whole lot of other emotions right now. Scared to talk to you and wanting to do unspeakable things to the person who stole his wallet and contents.

    You may find this in itself will be punishment enough and one of those horrible life lessons he will never forget and you will not need to say any more than, "please be careful taking things to school, if you do need to take anything in, think first and chose wisely".
