Right. It's the bane of my life - takes up so much room in the bin, or any store cupboard - so today I solved it! Look at it carefully, and it has perforations. Concertina-fold it every second line of perforations, and it is easy to condense it all into a square pile the size of an album cover (do you youngsters remember vinyl?). Today, I made eight boxfulls disappear this way, quite theraputic, and now it's there, ready to crumple and expand again if I ever need to pack anything.
Job well done!

I've just sat and folded a load of brown paper from my order the day and it occurred to me that I must be mad I bet others just put in the recydling bin!

Glad to read I'm not the only one.:T

Still some in Chester and Broughton park but seem to have been moved today had to search for them.

Lots of P&P in Chester. But Illum won't go through with them and the 150 points out of the ACM won't work either. Has anyone tried to use the skincare points out of the current gwp managed to get one through today with the P&P set but it only added 200 not the 250.

Managed to find the p&P sets today.

Wouldn't work with the highlighter, but had gwp, 150 pts ACM, Dble points, 200 pts from No.7 but this appeared to go on but didn't show on my receipt so Manager let asst refund P&P and put it through again to get my pts, still didn't work so supervisor put them on manually and £5 pink voucher. So all in all = £20 -£5 voucher = £15 + 550 pts.

Sorry if this has already been posted (I haven't noticed if it has ), but the soap and glory minis @ £2.00 each are on 3for2 and with every 3 you get this free gift:

Not bad I thought.....3 minis and the above for £4.00. Don't know if that's in store though

wow!
is it instore as well? anyone seen it?

I have just been to boots, with the minis offer you DO NOT get the sanctury items...the offer is just for the gift bag. It is really bad of boots to have the items in the picture seeing as you don't get them.

No £5 soap and glory kits here either.

I agree, it's pretty poor of boots to have that picture there, it really does imply that you're getting the contents too. Sorry to anyone who's hopes I got up

Saw the No7 Heated Eyelash curlers for £5.00 the other day. Been pondering about wether I should buy them or not.

I have some normal eyelash curlers but wondered if the heated ones do actually work or would they be a waste of money?

Also....has anyone tried to buy them using the current No7 pink £5 voucher??

Thanks

I love that brown paper :rotfl: When I received my last delivery, the paper would have reached from my bed to the bottom of the stairs lol. So I concertinaed (sp??)d it, rolled it up, and it's about the size of a loo roll now. It's great for shredding for hampers and somehow, strangely therapeutic lol.
