    hi everybody-just thought I would let you all Know about a bootsing session gone wrong today!
    Went shopping with my younger sis and decided to go into boots , sis decided she was hungry & chose a meal deal which I used my points to pay for! Walked out of boots -sis was munching on sandwich when suddenly her face started to itch, then eyes, then lips etc etc swelling & itchiness started to progress-had to rush her to emergency doctors who gave her a jab of piriton but swelling increased-doc panics calls a&e who suggested high dose of steroids.Sis took 1 teeny sip and starting shaking violently-her throat had swollen and she went into anaphylaxis shock.Doc called an ambulance who quickly came and rushed her into hospital, she's still there now.


    Oh My God! what in the world was she allergic too in that sandwich? That's a really, really strong reaction :eek:

    Did they not issue a shot of adrenaline? Epipen? Aww Poor girl, hope she gets better sharpish. Do let us know hun

    I learnt the one about the colours of the rainbow ROYGBIV! and we had to make one up too for the order of something to do with gentics in biology, such a long time ago I can remember the saying but not what its actually for!!!

    thanks everybody!
    No nothing like that has ever happened before-I managed to stay calm but sis was naturally terrified.It was a sandwich from the organic range called skinnie minnie-looked very healthy really.She is in safe hands now so she should get better-I still have the other sandwich but hospital had a look at the ingredieants and packaging and it's not out of date until tomorrow.
    I really don't know what happened she only took 2 bites and it started.

    OK Girls (and guys), nearly serious mail now

    Webby offer: 500 points with 2 premium beauty, one of which is supposed to be skincare

    Last time the 500 point offer was on, it was giving away points for pencil sharpeners. It would be rude not to try it, so here's my challenge:

    What's the best bargain you can get before it goes out of stock, ignoring the DIORalyte below?

    Had a look at this but think the 500 points for selected cosmetics is a better deal

    Hrrrmph oi! Rush hour traffic don't ya know! (Should have taken magic carpet) :p

    Ok... Tried the P&P Body Serum - defianately not part of the W/B range i'm afraid folks, so no 300/350 pointer usage there :( Tried at 2 different tills lol (even no7 counter :eek:) but she spun round the till monitor and it was a definate 'not met' screen.
    x

    Does 1 body serum not count as the original price, entitling us to 1 GWP? TIA
