Hi Jimsmum... you can get Oilatum free from your Doctor...if it helps your sons skin then you can get it. Hope this helps.

Earlier in the year I went in to buy insect repellent and had to point out to the staff that every single one of every single type on the shelf was out of date. I went somewhere else for it in the end, points or no points! They really should make it clearer which products are subject to use by dates as you wouldn't necessarily think to check like you would with food products.

In my local boots today, I saw they had a few of the "botanics" range reduced.
I picked up Conditioning Clay Mask (£2.30 down from £4.49) and Eye & Lip correction serum (£4.50 down from £8.99).

At the till it gave me "buy one get one half price" on top of my above discounts so I paid £5.65 for items worth £13.49!!!

The items were placed amongst lots of other stuff in baskets marked "reduced".
I also picked up a Vicks first defence kit (consisting of nasal spray rrp £6.99 and hand foam rrp £6.99) for £2.99 - it said it was nearly out of date hence the reduction - however it lasts until end of November 2007 - and I'll probably use it till 2010 ! Nice £10.99 saved!

Hi there - this is my first post as I've only just registered today. Have only started reading here last week even though I've been getting MSE's emails for a while. I do feel hard done by though as my nearest ACM is 45 miles away and I have to admit that I have never used it as I wasn't aware that it gave out all these super vouchers.

If anyone has a No7 £7.00 voucher and an Oral B 2000 point voucher going spare can you contact me. I'm dying to try P+P and to get the £7.00 off it would be great and I'm also in need of a new toothbrush.

Thanks a lot.
