Ummm, nope lol. Have you heard of it Rubes?

I'm trying to think of what we've got that you haven't pollsdolls.

A big bloomin' bridge?

Yep you know Hammonds and the big walk way with waterstones etc. It's on the opposite side. Macdonalds is on the same side but at the other end.

I wish. seriously thought those tweezers are lovely little things, you could pluck so much with them!!!!!!:D

Edit, that sounded terrible. sorry. What I meant was they are really tight fitting, and a good all round little item

On a boots note.... i love makeup and have masses of it ...although dont wear any apart from clear mascara and tinted foundation!...i dont know how to apply it properly....so can anyone recommend some new makeup for me at great prices that may entice me too learn to put it on!.... im fair skinned so nothing to wacky coloured!....and im waffling now waaaayyyyy too much wine drank!

You should go for a free make-up demo little_laura. They'll show you how to apply the make-up, and usually throw in a few samples too

Can anyone understand why this would go for this much on ebay, when it's only £4.99 in Boots?

Personally looks dodgey (sp?) to me.

If you look at the bidders they are all imaginatevely named Bidder 1, Bidder 2, Bidder 4 etc. Honestly what are the chances that these user names would be bidding on the same item if they were registered to different people? Looks like someone is trying to bump up their rating by 'selling' and 'buying' to themselves and poss leaving glowing feedback. And it only costing a few pounds in listing and selling fees to get their 100+ 100% Pos trader rating over a period of months.

I know I appear grumpy but I have been stung before.

I was looking for some iron on school name tags last week. They were all BIN apart from 1 seller that had an auction. Started to watch it as they were a good price.
Guess who was bidding on them??? Well it was actually Bidder 1 and Bidder 2!!!!!! I decided not to bother with the seller as Bidder 1 and Bidder 2 were in a bidding war with each other then! It was screaming out 'Do not touch with a barge pole' to me as I could see what game they were playing.

Keeping it Boots related...do Boots really put the price up when they have a till spit on an item???
