    Does anyone know if there are discounted perfumes in Liverpool Street or Oxford Street branches.
    I desperately need a new bottle of something cos for the first time ever I have literally run out. Thanks.
    I can pop in tomorrow before work.

    Thanks

    I went into the large store near Bond street on monday and they had loads of reduced perfumes and gift sets. HTH

    I have found a use for the cheapo mouthwash...! As I have no water for two weeks (gloucester) and it's a daily trek to find some and we are only flushing the loo when it becomes unbearable :( I have put two bottles (unopened) in the toilet cistern so it doesn't take as much to provide a flush! Also been using points to get meal deals for myself and DD so we don't have to find food and/or cook or wash up....

    You could use the mouthwash to flush the loo.........nice fresh smell!!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
    After all it was cheaper than bottled water,bet you wish you had bough more now!

    Seriously ,if it is still raining ,can you collect rain water to flush the loo?

    I hope things get better soon:smiley:

    Just went shopping...you know where....they refused to take the T&G vouchers and my 100pts for £10 spend vouchers "as they have to be used the same day you get them"....never mind that the vouchers say valid until 14th August. :mad:

    Just called CS and they said that's nonsense....and gave me 100 pts.....she obviously saw my total and thought I didn't need any more than that.:rotfl: :rotfl:

    Must get a new card.....oooooooh....OH could do with one....:rolleyes:

    Unfortunately :eek: it has all but stopped raining! I do have a small hoard so I might put some down the loo as well :D
    We have enough drinking water for myself and DD but not really for flushing and I don't want to put drinking water in the cistern......

    Went to Boots this morning and got some Roses reduced so I got two boxes for my Dad who has been running me around all over trying to sort stuff out!

    I had the most amazing dream the other night. I went to a Boots and everything was BOGOF, I mean everything. But not only that, everything was half price too :D OH thinks I am going crazy...

    In real life news, we went across town to a big pet store to get cat food and I was gutted when we pulled up there and I saw a massive Boots. I hadn't taken any of my vouchers with me, and worst of all the sale in there was a million times better than the one in town. I was gutted!

    While I was in there I had a look for the Stella perfume as after hearing you guys all praising it I wanted to test it and maybe spend my points on as a treat. But they didn't have a single one of her perfumes, a massive wall of perfume but no Stella!

    just rang .com about my order that is missing 2000 points from the ruby and millie stuff i bought i really confused the guy i was talking to but basically they gave me 1000 points for spending over £55 but 2 items were out of stock which took it down to about £37 they never took the points off me for it so when i told them about the missing points they would only put 1000 on i only spent that amount cos i wanted the extra points they shouldnt've taken the order if some of the items were out of stock:mad: :mad: :eek:

    im back from my daily trek!
    found a reduced memory card for £5 which isn't fab but still got 500points so techincally free, also got boots fragrance free eye makeup remover pads £1.39 + 100points , nuxe lip balm £7.50 with 500 points and botanics relaxation trio reduced to £1.25 so got that as my next door neighbour isn't very well and i thought it might help her a bit.Little one was moaning for a toy so consoled her with a 99p travel connect 4 game.Paid with a £10 pigsback vocuher and some cash got 1108 points so really pleased ! They had lots of good reduced toys today similar to the online sale- e.g £2 for the get scientific kits, sand art and plasticine etc.Also leapstart pads£20 and lots of bratz and barbie reduced.I was impressed with the reduced outdoor toys though as they were only £2 and perefct for kids to play with during the hols(if it stops raining).Was served by the meanest sa in the shop who always thinks that i am scamming points of boots somehow-she went through all my shopping one by one and scrutinised the vouchers as if her life depended on it- I decided to wait till I find the nice male sa later in the week so i can have my stash of ruby &millie mascara brushes exchanged or refunded(has anyone done that yet?)
    Love can tame the wildest
