OMG, I just meant getting it out of a drawer, two boxes, and a couple of cabinets! Holy cow, woman, what will you do with all of that?! lol

Not forgetting the sometimes twice weekly 2kg package I post to cyprus!

Um...well DS birthdays, xmas etc sorted till his is 8, bar the big character themed presents. Enough nappies till potty training, wipes till 4.5 years. Enough toiletries till he is at the 'lynx' stage'. Xmas and birthdays for all relatives(not close ones lol but my dad is one of 13 so MASSIVE xmas list!), massive stash for 2 mum and baby raffles, enough 'new baby' pressies to last me a few years(although maybe not as everyone I know is pregnant!!!). And a few bits for thank you's for neighbours and 'cheer you up' presents too.

I do though only buy if I know what I am doing with it lol. Recently spent points on cards and wrap for next two years so will not have to buy pressies for AGES!

Mind you, close family's pressies come from there too, but less obvious, Dad is getting digi cam...guess where from lol

Hi gals,

need some quick advice. My hair root is showing all grey and I don't have the time to go to the hairdressers to colour it. Are there any styling products with a bit of colour to disguise it (slightly) temporarily?

Thanks in advance.

My mum keeps some just for men mousse in case of emergency roots!:rotfl:

I have 2 of s&g and always carry them not 'cos I think they're nice to look at (or not) but trying to do my bit for the environment. I always whip 'em out in Boots instead of a carrier (the s&g's not the other LOL) so i must have saved one landfill site on that alone

I have a dozen as great for shopping and sssoooooo much nicer than a sainsburys carrier and I refuse to buy reusable bags advertising supermarkets lol...unless they were free, then I would :rotfl:

An SA told me the clearance sales are January AND July.

Definately late july. Bloomin shredded last years bank statements, but sure it was!

Hi, this GWP offer should be valid for a few more days, right? I got 1 last week but have not managed to grab another one and as I already mentioned, in one of my local stores they had removed the mention of the GWP. The SA said the offer might be over...

Ouch, think it does end this Tues pm, anyone notice the dates on the signs, think it was 03! Argh!

EDIT: Sorry about the 50 replies in a row guys:rotfl:

Hey Skibster, are you sure you have not been in my house taking photos, that could have been my photo :rotfl: :rotfl: . But when you come to think about it, we all have similar stuff.

It's part of 'Boots law' that the OHs dont know ALL the facts about Boots prices and quantity etc.

My hubby thinks it's all nuts, but he's very supportive. After I took that picture (which was just what I'd accumulated in a week or so, not all my stash by half), I was thinking I really need to be more careful what I buy as I don't need or want most of this and have to find people to offload it on -- and they may not need or want much of it, either! And he said, keep Bootsing, you enjoy it. Mind you, I probably spend a little more than he realizes, but he has a general idea. He's a doll! I still need to rein it in a bit as I really don't need or have room for most of this stuff (well, at least not room for more of the stuff), but it's nice to know he's not freaking out over my Bootsing, lol.

Bootsing also gives him things to tease me about. Yesterday I tried the Naked Sugar Maple mask that was on clearance for 33p -- he said "Your face is melting! What kind of Ark of the Covenant business is this?" (referring to Raiders of the Lost Ark when the faces melted). After it settled on my face, he said I looked like a glazed donut. And I did, lol.

Oh no! They lure is into the store looking for Med gwps, and I only ever saw two at the big Boots -- and I could kick myself for just getting one that day! And the smaller Boots never had any! What a sham! :mad:

pmsl...I am contemplating calling CS at 830 to check as it will involve changing whole day to get to boots, but promised a friend I'd pick one up for her poorly nana. Can't belive I forgot to get one yesterday

I have a bogof med preg voucher and have been to 5 boots over the past week or so trying to find a gwp, with no success :-( Trying to decide whether to change plans now and go into town this morning and have one last shot!

I know they won't have one, so why am I tempted to waste a couple of hours looking, and I know I'll come back with a bag full of boots stuff when I really shouldn't......

I've got half day tomorrow so might nip on tiny boots! Yay!! Not sure if I dare to do the 99p Gwp though!! Might just get a couple of items if they are clearances lol.

The ATM has been a bit mean to me, anyone else had this problem??
