    I've also got a spare perfume voucher going to the first taker...

    All I ask in return is that all of you getting these perfume bargains use them sparingly (the moneysaving way! :D ) as I am allergic to the stuff and if I end up sat near to someone on a train or in the cinema/pub/restarant and they have livberally applied the stuff, it makes me quite ill... less is more!! ;)

    So it's not only me then? Most perfumes trigger really bad migranes with me and make me feel sick. Poor DH is not allowed to wear aftershave. It's worse when your on a plane, so many people spray before landing to freshen up :mad: . In most provinces in Canada perfume is now banned from lots of work places and schools because of allergies.

    Nice to find a fellow sufferer - well, not nice that you also suffer, but you know what I mean... Usually it makes me cough and sneeze to start with, and then after a while I get the migraine... sometimes I have even been sick. Apparently the average perfume contains around 200 chemicals, and some of these can cross the blood-brain barrier and trigger migraines in those of us that are susceptible. Apparently, some of the chemicals are so toxic that if they are used in a work enviromnent, eg a car workshop, they have to be labelled as such, harmful if inhaled/only use in a well ventilated area etc, and yet manufacturers are allowed to put them in perfumes! :mad:

    Planes are indeed the worst! Also everyone sprays themselves with duty free testers before they get on... then it all gets recirculated in the air con... I usually start my holidays with a migraine. :( At least on a train you can move seats, on a plane you are stuck there!

    rant over... :D the perfume voucher has been taken by the way!

    Hi
    Can I ask what 6 items you managed to get for £50 as I cannot find anything under £25!!

    Also how did you get the extra 1500 points?

    Thank you!!:T
    I bought shampoo, conditioner (for afro hair, though mine isn't...:rolleyes: ) hand cream and hand wash, 1500 points if you spend £50 and 500 points for every 2 items (I bought 6, so 1500).
    The only trouble is my cupboards are bursting and I now have over £400 in points to spend and no idea what I will ever spend them on. I just love the game of squeezing as many points out of an order as poss. I think I need help, my DH would kill me if he knew what I had spent today:eek: .
    I keep promising I will do a boot sale...
    I'm also beginning to feel I should have a minder if I leave the house with my advantage card!!

    Agent_C, you know, I was also allergic, as I thought, to the perfume. I could not live for the past three!!! years without my nose spray and medicine. And two month ago I happened to be at the Duty Free where I tried so many perfumes:o (I was looking for a present for my mum), and I did not sneeze even once. After that I spent 3 hours in a plane with my jacket sprayed all over with the stuff and again did not sneeze. Since than I started to use it every day (although in much smaller amount) and realised that it actually cured me:j I know, it may sounds like a dream, but beleive me I'm not using now any medicine at all!!! Though I admit if I smell cheap stuff from somebody in the tube, it makes me sick and sneeze :mad:
    And you can always try pure perfume, as it contains less chemical ingridients.
