    I'm loving it too Seren. I've enjoyed popping into some of the smaller boots which have different stock. I now have a selection of some weird and wonderful premium potions:)
    Today I just got the Boots dandruff shampoo reduced to £1. But thinking I might hammer it tomorrow at some of the bigger stores:rotfl:

    If you do it 17 times, spending say 1.50 each time, you'll spend 26.50 cash but get £34 in points :rotfl:

    Have you had your slide rule out:rotfl:

    My Versace perfume arrived today with my facemasks:rotfl:

    5ml is more than I thought. I was beginning to think it would be one of those tiny glass phialls but it's a lovely little bottle.

    I even like the idea of tipping it upside down on your finger tips and dotting it behind your ears.(lugs:D)

    Came with a free sachet of Advanced body lotion....wonder if my body is advanced enough:rotfl:

    Has anyone been watching Fortitude ....is it worth investing all that time in?
    I watched the first episode last night and I'm a bit unsure

    We are saving Fortitude to watch in one fell swoop - I am avidly into Nordic noir so the atmosphere is excellent. Weve also got an obsession with Iceland :)

    All Christmas plants/ orchids reduced to £2 in Wilkos.

    I was tempted to buy a tenners worth to brighten up a corner.:)

    Instead there were 5 pack McCoys RTC to 23p:T the lady behind me saw me scoop up a load and she said she might buy some. I reached over and passed her a multipack.

    "It only has 2 days on the date" she said. And put it back:rotfl:
