    In the last couple of days I have had a free calendar from a local cafe and a sample of Nikwax
  • I got a full sized No7 Foundation today from Boots over 60s Day.
    She did a test on my skin colour and gave me a full make up so that I could get the effect and, as we all know what we look like in the shop and what we look like at home after a few hours are two different things! So this is a good opportunity for me to see if it really works. I hope so as I did need to change my foundation after using the same one for ten years!
  • Great weekend for obtaining free stuff :-) Had free tickets to Destinations Travel Show in Manchester, acquired lots of free bags, pens, notebooks, sweets, post it notes, stickers, calender, furry bug and a silk square. Visited a friend who was having a clear out and she gave me 6 notebooks of various sizes. Then went to a craft market today had several free samples and was given a tea infuser
