Shrinking jeans?!

Basically, I bought a pair of size 10 grey skinny jeans from New Look for £25 on New Years Eve, to tuck into my new boots. I tried on both size 8 and size 10 in the shop - sadly, I have a size 10 arse and size 8 thighs, so went with the snug 10s instead of the tight 8s.
Anyway.. wore them for a couple of hours in the evening, and they stretched like nobody's business - in no way do they resemble 'skinny' jeans - they're all baggy on the knees and saggy around my arse.
Unfortunately, can't take them back as my mate spilt lager and lime on them, and I guess it would be obvious they'd been washed....
So is there anyway of shrinking them permanently? I hate to feel I've wasted my money.

you could just put them on a normal wash every time you want to wear them...it's a pain in the arse, but washing tightens jeans up.
They are now kind of like a large size 10 and you can't see my pants and stuff anymore when i bend over, which is always good, but i think it only worked because they were just like normal jeans not the stretchy kind, but you could give it a go.
It's just they've been obviously worn for an evening, and smell of beer.
Mother says she will try boiling-then-tumble-drying.. but if it only works for one wash like my_name said... :no:
I don't mind getting a voucher - I'll just buy the size 8s... so better find that receipt.
