They're not even using user-friendly tape to seal the cardboard boxes either. I'm tempted to exchange mine for the mens gwp

I found that disappointing - obviously the voucher needs taking out - it's not a long dated one either :rolleyes:

Now box is useless as a gift :mad:

boo I tried exactly the same combo!!
Only 1 out of the 3 boots I visited even stocked the range :mad:
O well...i'l keep hold of the PC voucher til the next 3 for 2 is on.
We're currently at "full capacity" in our house with glitches from boots...plenty of shower gels, creams, shampoos etc...so much so I'm also now stashing things in the guest room cupboards! lol

Hmmm has to be store specific then

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.

It doesn't bear thinking about how frightened you must have been.

I hope she's ok sonee, and feeling much better today x

:T That's a brill total Boo! How many vouchers do you think you've used? It's my first quarter doing this Tesco lark, I've done 10k, not too bad for a newbie? What are you saving for? Nosey moi?


Trying to stay on topic a bit, can anyone recommend a good lip treatment? not a normal lip balm (I don't think anything beats my Rose & co rose salve) but a really hydrating one that you wear overnight, my lips get so dry and cracked.

Dear sonee2405, I hope your sister gets well soon. I know you must be thinking of her at the moment, but once this is over (and it will be soon), please let us know what caused her sudden problem. One can never be too careful.
Our thoughts are with you.

The most obvious one to me is Vaseline but if you prefer something more natural you could try Burts Bees. HTH

EDIT: Palice just posted that Burts Bees is not natural,sorry for any confusion.
