I remember someone asking a while back if the fitflops are a true size or not. Well I received mine yesterday and I would say they are a generous size. One thing to note is that the upper is plastic and material not suede/leather as posted by someone else.

I second this as I bought the last pair in a shop on the Kings Road whilst pacing round London last weekend. I got my huge trotters in a size down from normal. Also may be of interest that since wearing them i've had no (touching wood) lower back pain. I would recommend them to anyone with that type of issue. Still waiting on the thighs to shrink though....

When I want to spend my pts, I hate it if there is an offers on what I want, as it's too much of a dilemma.

Pts v cash

I think they do it deliberately so we dont spend them.

Yup - exactly! That's why we end up with such a lot of points accrued! When I went into Bristol with my sis yesterday, she was talking about buying her other half a shaver in Boots, and she was going to let me use up some of my points on it and give me the cash - whoo-hoo! - but then she couldn't find one she liked, poopy!:rolleyes:

Was it the No7 one ? She was telling me today None left mind you ! However like the S& G bags I don't really like then anyway.

not sure if she was no7, but thought one good turn deserves another so told her about the med that was only £1 in B&M. i was in there at about 11.30 and ther was 3 left

boo 2112 - you asked about S&G motherpucker?

I tried to quote and reply but stoopid MSE kept telling me I had to post at least 10 characters - the 15 or so words I had put weren't enough apparently!

Anyhoo, I have these and and they're great, a bit tingly at first but a nice pouty effect - gives my lips some definition

I had this when I tried to reply to something last night, too - and I always get it if I try to post from work - any ideas why, ladies?

I NEED to try the nc glitch:rotfl: Would anyone here give the make up bag as a gift? I think id have to put something in it as id hate them to be disappointed if they looked inside expecting something in there:rotfl:

I would give the NC makeup bag as a gift only if I filled it with some kind of gift (or possibly give it alone if I knew someone who really wanted a makeup bag and liked plastic ones, but if you have something extra from your Boots stash, I'd stick that in, too). I'm looking forward to maybe getting another one or two free with NC buys! And I will fill them with nail polish/samples/lip glosses/jewelry etc. and give them to my sister and her little girls!

On a sort of related note, yesterday there was a green plastic hanging wash bag in the NC section with a SEL of £2 for a "natural collection green bag". There was only one there, so I couldn't tell if it was really that price or had been put back in the wrong place. So I took it to the checkout, and wanted a price check. It scanned at £4, and I really didn't think it was that hot so I wanted to leave it, but the SA went to look at the SEL and see what she could figure out. She and another employee were there five minutes, only for her to come back and tell me the £2 price was for the pink gwp bag! The gwp bag which clearly says it normally sells for £4.99 and is called "tropical" or some such on the label, not "green"!!! It wasn't worth a fight as I had wanted to leave it anyway, but it's funny that it took two employees five minutes to come up with an explanation that was completely wrong in every way! I should've asked her to scan the pink bag to see the look on her face when it came up for £4.99, but there was a line and I was ready to go (and I didn't think of it until after I left, lol).

This is in my store too. didnt buy it either, but i might try it just for another thing to fill with stuff for a gift. I'll let you know if i ever get round to it
Also that means i can get a few more gwp's while im at it. And use my last MM ACM.

So for all of you egtting more than one NC bag are you putting a few in your basket in one till shop at once?

I could kick myself i stood looking at them last week but did not want to spend £10 on NC....

We hardly have any reductions like some of you get.

Is the nc gwp just when you buy nc toiletries or make up too?
