Don't want to alarm you but I used these last year and all of us got a skin reaction on holiday - I had to go to doctors when I got back and had to take antihistamine cream and antibiotics. Didn't know what caused it but then saw a report that piz Buin on e day cream is causing allergic reactions - no wind up - google it. the red rash is exactly what we got and the only one of us who didn't get rash on holiday was my other half who didn't use that sun cream .




Defo wont be using it again

Myself dd and ds had the same rash a few years ago from this cream.
My Mum insisted I let her have the bottle instead of throwing it away and she got it too

Double points weekend this w/end in Sainbob if anyone's into that.

Double Value Exchange event where you double up your points for vouchers against certain departments is coming up on 23 April to mid May.

Also the t's and c's have changed for alcohol, acc to the small print in an email just received:

Double points offer available from 0.00am 4 April - 11.59pm 6 April 2014 in Sainsbury's stores and Sainsbury's online.

The following products are not included in the double points offer; prescription medicine, infant formula, tobacco and related products, gift vouchers, gift cards, BT phone cards, e-topup, saving stamps, postage stamps, National Lottery products, car park tickets, vending machine purchases and points collected from recycling used carrier bags. Spirits and liqueurs are not included in the double points offer from 6 April 2014.

Double points offer available on online grocery orders delivered on 4, 5 & 6 April 2014 only.

Double points offer available on online orders purchased at sainsburys.co.uk in Home & Garden, Appliances, Technology, Toys & Nursery, Entertainment, Sport & Leisure or Sale sections on 4, 5 & 6 April 2014 only.

Due to the introduction of new government legislation from 6 April 2014, no retailer will be able to sell alcohol below the rate of the duty price plus VAT. Although it has never been our trading policy to do this, we have introduced some new measures to ensure that we comply fully with the law.

From this date, spirits and liqueurs will no longer be included in customer promotions and coupons in the same way that baby formula, petrol, stamps, cigarettes and other excluded items are not. Also customers will no longer earn Nectar points when purchasing spirits and liqueurs and, subsequently, any spend on these items will not contribute to the required spend to participate in marketing promotions and coupons.

The Nectar Double Up promotion the following terms and conditions apply. Customers may exchange their saved Nectar points for a Nectar Double Up voucher at participating stores from 00.00am 23 April – 11.59pm 13 May 2014 up to a maximum limit of 4,000 Nectar points per participating category. The promotion is not available Online, in Sainsbury's Locals or in Petrol Stations. For the full terms and conditions click here

It is indeed a shame that the Double Up appears to cover only certain categories of products:(. :eek:Sainsbobs must be reading this thread and as a result scuppering what, until now, were my plans:(:(:(. Oh well, onto a different plan instead (whatever that may be).

On the spirits and liqueurs - I agree with the ':eek::eek:'. It's not just the non-collection of Nectar points though (which, let's face it, are just a few pence per pound spent anyway). Presumably, according to the above - if it is actually what will be the practice and not just the theory yet again - any spend on spirits/liqueurs won't count towards the £20 spend needed for the Brand Match:(:(. If so this is, to my mind, a very significant exclusion and I trust it will be plastered prominently over Brand Match postings and hoardings at all participating Sains. from now on. It seems, from this (but there may be additional changes to T&Cs elsewhere that I've not seen), spirits and liqueurs will be still be included in the Brand Match comparisons (and compared, as applicable, to the price at Asda/Tesco in your nation) but you will need to spend £20 excluding any amount spent on them.:(:(

It's a shame as spirits and liqueurs are, for many ordinary people, the items that trigger price coupons as sometimes being significantly cheaper elsewhere (and therefore not offset as much by other items in their shopping) and you can imagine people buying spirits and liqueurs and spending over £20 with a significant help from those and, in future, now getting no BM coupon. (But then neither will the system tell them, alternatively, that they have 'saved' such-and-such in future when they've spent due to these items:D:D.)

Evening all

FC after deliberating all day I have decided those mega cheap flights to abu dhabi are not for me. Dont fancy going there alone as all hotels charge double for single traveller and as things I might as well go back to sharm but stay at Savoy on RO basis as just do not use the all inclusive. Checked it out last visit and easy to buy cheap supplies from nearby supermarket and just use room service for the occasional meal.
Usually in bed by 8pm on holiday with my kindle.

Sorry folks I have in no way caught up today but see there have been quite a few pages. Got 2 lovely quilted square cushion covers fom next online sale delivered today which are part of the line of my new bedlinen anyway. Delivered a couple of fb sales so quids in.
Collected mums laptop and ipad today so new toy to play with and lappy for lots of competitions (especially the Altantis trip for 8 comp. Fc I by any chance I win I will invite you and the kids:) )

Right off for mega catch up.

Hi, good evening all!:)
I was thinking of trying the Mach 3s earlier. The one with the Close & Smooth picture (blue strip on bottle), but described in the text as Close & Fresh, is showing 2 for £3 on a.com. The one showing Close & Fresh (green) there, and also called Close & Fresh in the text, appears really to be 2 for £3 but is showing straight £3. On msm, the one showing a picture of Close & Smooth is called "Close & Smooth" but the text says "Close & Fresh" - is straight £3, but the picture Close & Fresh, which is called "Close & Fresh", is described in the description (where else?:D;)) as "Close & Smooth" and is marked with 2 for £3. It appears that when Close & Smooth is bought, this is the one that comes up, and called "Close & Fresh" (as per the heading on msm) on the APG. It seems we need to buy 2x Close & Fresh to get the "Close & Smooth" (picture and product heading but not description) that's showing straight £3.

I thought of mixing and matching one of each - not just to get 2 different items towards the required amount as well!;) (Then you won't know which is which!:rotfl: But should work as one of them (whichever it is) has no mbuy showing. It wasn't my intention, btw, to ensure we couldn't tell which one was coming up as what on my possible future shop.) Are there different B/Cs, yet again, kicking about? What B/C is on the products bought here (if you can find out from your friend)?

I might try something tomorrow. What the chances of this still not working tomorrow?

savvy I cant believe you of all people would ask this.
do you really expect an answer
