    my OH only used to use shampoo/deodorant but since the No7 men's came out he uses the lot:rotfl: I have got the men's GWP but am keeping it for his birthday next month:D

    Same here bunbun, my oh loves it :) But after reading about a certain poster's OH and the No7 tan, I think I'll avoid buying him that :rotfl: ;)

    Be back later ladies x

    Was going to mention about that, a No7 tan comes in the mens GWP so make sure he doesn't have a drink before he applies it.

    ( he thought I was having a dig when he opened up the contents of GWP and found it ! He certainly will not be using that item !!)

    :rotfl:

    Lists are great *Jelly Tots* :). In fact, lists are the way forward :D

    Since I was 'outed', it's made life so much easier. Not that I'd recommend it JT - especially for you ;) but it does make the security guards just that little bit friendlier iyswim. You've got to toughen up a bit x
    The thing is, this was a shop I'd never been in before. And by the end of it, the s.guard was walking down the aisle, squeezing in between me and what I was looking at (I was debating whether I was too mean to pay a fiver for the med GWP and 2 preg. body butters - yes I was). I think they do it to let you know they are there - I'm getting used to it. I look quite *normal* btw, not *shifty*:rotfl: .
    It doesn't really bother me, it's just a bit irritating:rolleyes: consider I probably spend more in Boots than everyone else who was in there at the time :cool: .

    Thanks for trying this Rubes now got to 'plan' which store to try this in :p

    I was thinking of 2 of these

    and 2 of these
    hero.jpg
    total should be £11 with GWp ( and 200pts from mag) if my Maths is right...now to decide on the store ....oh and find the pennies!

    Phew just surfaced from my Bootsing mountain after 2 days of searching through all my hiding places.
    Sure I had bought this stuff last year but couldn't rememeber where it was hidden. Did we have another glitch on it last year? Anyway found it so shouldn't really buy it again. But want the gwp .

    You could maybe go for the No7 tan maintainers instead then hun if you didn't get them last year?
    2x of them for £5 (with PC voucher) and the GWP and 200 points :T

    has anyone ever used the doctor skins range? is it any good? im particulalry looking at the hair removal stuff and the capillary cream, are there any vouchers floating around for extra points on them (had a quick google but couldnt see any)

    I bought the hair removal stuff and tbh, I would avoid it. It didn't do anything to remove hair that I could see but it did contain loads of alcohol and as such as very drying and irritating for the skin, especially sensitive, just shaved/waxed skin. I don't know about the capillary cream but I've researched quite a lot into facial creams and it seems doubtful that a non-prescription face cream could reduce the appearance of capillaries (I'm just guessing that's what this cream is supposed to do? :o)
    Hope that helps :)
    ;) One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you! ;)

    Some are, some aren't. One doesn't need to be as he's the one that used to be in AB's store and was about 7ft tall so had a panoramic view - of everyone :rotfl: Some used to be shared with other stores like WH Smiths etc, but I'm on nodding terms with the Boots security guards now :D

    OH's on talking terms! (Usually about rugby or football I should add, not about No7 for Men :D)

    Neither of the security guards wear a uniform in my local but they now have a nice little podium to stand on at the back and the front of the store so they deffo look 7ft tall. Didn't know they were secruity until witnessed them shouting at some teenagers last year messing with all the makeup.

    How do you multi quote? I always have to post twice as much as you clever clogs who know all the tricks

    Sorry if this has been covered, but does this have a shiny eye-shadow effect? Or can you not really see it shimmering ? It sounds nice but not sure I'd use it as I wear make-up during the day (what a slapper lol).
