Unfortunately I did not get to see any of the posts today so I could not comment. As when I left here last night I did not know there was an issue, just that someone had misread my post and that I had corrected them. Seems alot was said today?! Enough to not be able to move on...wow they must have been some posts!

You are quite right :T , perhaps you should also tell broclo the same. I have deleted my posts.

I shall not delete mine as surely anyone can see from my post below, there was now way that I was calling two posters a lurker! I did explain that and presumed that would be then end of it! I did not post anything that should have been on pm, I just replied that they had misread or misunderstood my post below. Which is obviously just saying that I think we should share things, not hide then from lurkers, that was all! I had moved on pollsdolls as did not even know there was an issue after I explained my post fully.

How that post above can cause such behaviour is beyond me. I am fully aware that the replies to my non confrontational, non name calling and non offensive post, were unwaranted and were only such because some people have issues with another member on here and have dragged me into it.

I am not interested in being dragged into the differences between those members and would ask that those who jump upon every word I say to provoke, stop immediately as it is not fair or neccesary, just because I happen to call someone you are not seeing eye to eye with, a friend.

I could not care actually if people do not move on and snipe at every given chance, I also no longer care if people do not share things in case of lurkers, things will always come up anyway. However, I shall move on because as far as I am concerned this is nothing to do with Boots and will share any finds I may get with everyone, regular, newbie and lurker.

*****GLITCH ALERT*****

Just back from shopping and, you know me,

;) tried the PC £5 off wys £20 on No7. It flippin' well works with the bogof!!! As does the 200 points on No7 suncare, and they still qualify for the GWP! :j

Bought 4x of the No7 glossy locks spritz:

For a grand total of £6.50!!! :j:j Plus 224 points AND the GWP !!

Did the same again with 4x of the No7 lip/eye screens

Same price/points/GWP again!!!!

Hand over the 4x items (or 2x if they are £10 or more, sucream etc) Then hand over the 200 points voucher from mag, then finally the PC voucher. This order worked perfectly for me twice.

This fools the till to think it's over £20 as the BOGOF does not apply til they 'till up' therefore enabling the GWP qualification AND the £5 off £20 PC voucher!!!

So in all 8 No7 items (worth £46) , 448 points and 2x GWP's (mens and womens) all for the grand sum of £13.00!! :j:j

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy!!!!!!

EDIT: Also got 3x Ted Baker wash bags (they are black and have body wash/spray/ickle aftershave in) all for £7.50 on 342 today aswell. So glad to see these were still knocking about, as they were originally £14 each! :T

Let us know if that works, please! I bought two each of those yesterday AND hand saviour as I wanted have enough for the free gift. If those alone will do it, perhaps the BOGOF spf50 face protection would garner a gift, too.

So you only spent £12 in all. ( 2 product & GWP )
Wonder if the £5 off No7 PC would kick in too.

Yup, it works guys, see above :cool:

I tried the acm and newspaper model.me coupons today, and neither one scanned (I handed over the ACM one first). The SA was very nice though and overrode the till for both! So I got both items free, but did not get the extra 1.98 off my total that the glitch provides if the coupons scan. I think I bought exactly what worked for others, too: I got a Model.me shampoo and protein spray (both Helena versions).

Just a tip on coupons for newbies: In the past when I have asked for a coupon back because a second one I was using with it didn't work (and I wanted to leave the product and try the coupon combo later) an SA claimed she couldn't get the first one back as she had put it in a slot in the till. She *did* get it back after voiding everything and starting over, though. But now if I have a single coupon like the Model.me one from the newspaper that I'm using with an ACM or mag coupon which I have multiples of, I use the "expendable" coupon first. Then if it scans and is put in the till but the second one won't work, it's no big deal if I just leave the product and let them keep the first coupon.

Cheers me dears! You may have just motivated me to get dressed today and go Bootsing, lol. Have been playing catch up today whilst nursing a mild hangover and achy body after a day at Alton Towers and a night at the Pub

I got excited then and thought maybe I could use the Protect & Perfect voucher for 500 points on 2 P&P items that I received last week in a mailing on this glitch if I bought P&P suncare items but it says on the back not to be used on No7 suncare. I guess I could give it a whirl though.

TIA - Thank you in advance
GC - Gift Card
PC - Parenting Club
HC - Health Club
MF - Max Factor

All the abbreviations are on post one, but I'll elaborate on it as I have a few minutes:

4 x No7 Glossy locks or lip and eye screen
1 x GWP(Free gift when you spend £20 on No7-male or female)
Till sees £23.00 spend

Hand over £5 off when you spend £20 voucher from parenting club(pc)
Hand over 200pts on No7 suncare or tanning from Health and Beauty magazine

BOGOF kicks in on N07 so total is £11.50
Minus £5 pc so total is now £6.50
plus 200pts

So you get 4 x spritz/screen, gwp and 200pts for £6.50
