    I know its a bit late for a resolution but have just been chatting to CURLYLOX (my partner in crime) ! We have had a "spring clean" and can't believe how much stuff between Boots and Tesco we have accumulated !! :eek:

    So i have decided (cant speak for CURLYLOX) that Im going to stop Bootsing and Tescoing for 6 months and see if I can get the same thrill from economising as I do from couponing !!!!!!!!!!!!:rotfl:

    What do you think guys ??!!:rolleyes:

    Hi. I was just thinking the same - my living room is still full of the bargains I bagged in the 75% sale, lol. I have only just been bootsing few months and already i have run out of room!!! Not complaining tho, it's been great fun :D

    So, can I join you on this '6 month no bootsing break' ? We'll be back just in time for summer sale :D

    Only, I still have some points coupon for No7 and some skincare vouchers. it would be a shame not to use them!! So, I intend to use them up before January is finished and then no more bootsing for 6 months!!!:o
  • Wow Minx,that was great,it's lovely when you get nice SA isn't it.

    Liverbird,I can't believe you have gone under £300 on your card,how will you cope????

    I'm really liking this thread & know it's gonna cost me money in the end, but save me heaps in the process.

    Yes, theres quite a few of us that have been around a long long time ....but we got thrown off the thread for chatting too much! :eek:

    Long time no see! Do you remember that day I met you in Boots and we snaffled all those Botanics bars!!!

    Those were the days!!!!;)

    Sounds like one of the days I had with curlylox when the famous botanics was on! We were ripping out coupons in the aisles too :rotfl: . Still working my way thro it all, the body butter lasts forever.

    I agree it is a really cheap cardboard container. I have used the powder and I do like it. But after 3-4 times of putting the lid back on the top edge is starting to come apart! I would have been furious if I had actually "paid" for it.


    I have 3 and they are the same poor quality, It is a fine art getting the top back on without messing up the edges. Not an item to grab and use when in a hurry. Still for free its great. :j
