Virtually - Well done on your shop, the pantenne bottles are better value in volume terms.

If an SA refuses to scan the voucher for whatever reason, just smile sweetly and say - ''will you just try it please'' they cant really say NO and if they do say NO i would tell them to cancel the transaction as your going to pay elsewhere. Then try another SA hopefully this one will be nicer.

Different SA's seem to interperet (sp) T&C's in different ways.

You WILL get another blinkie as long as your total after all vouchers still totals £5.00, so if you were using 1 to get the NO7 blusher and only paid £3.85 then NO you wont get 1 back but if you spent another £1.15 to make it to £5 then you would get another.
.

Thanks very much princesswoo. Time to get assertive methinks!

Each different SA today was adamant and they did try and scan them first but said they weren't valid (or variations of this) because they couldn't be used with any other offer..i.e the £5 off. Once they even called a supervisor over and she agreed. That was in two separate stores. Think I just must look a soft touch, confused and disorganised scrambling for my vouchers! Next time though I will be way more assertive and less accepting as I now know they can go through!

Brilliant on the blinkies too, insist on one if I spend over £5 after my reduction whether I have already redemmed one or not. Fab.

Thanks so much!

Me too - I thought it was just 'cos I was rubbish at putting on nail varnish! Happened with a No.7 Stay perfect 'lilac' and with the 'rose truffle' from the GWP. I'm sure others on here have said similar things.

Was it you Sandra who took some back? (and can you take mine back, you're sooooo brave! :rotfl:)

Yes it was me!! I will praise to the hilt if something, or someone, is worth it, but if goods aren't up to standard, then it's back to the shop. Please don't be fobbed off with excuses!

Really! Wow- mine don't seem to chip for ages! Its the fast dry stuff I have- is that what you have bought? Its almost as good as the Chanel I stole from my mum (Really hope she didn't take up my suggestion and join the site now!!)

I am not sure if mine is fast dry or not dont think so but I was at work one night on a night shift so I left the for hours to dry without doing anything and it had still chipped by the next day. Really wouldnt recommend them at all

Although like skibster said it seems ok on your toes

There was a young and pretty girl - her name? Sophisticated
She tried to do her best, but her revision was belated

Each time she tried to beat this task, she found her mind a-wandering
Cos all the time she dreamt of Boots, and the money she'd be squandering!

But our scholar wasn't selfish, and her efforts were not wasted
She found the Pinkie glitches, which she copied first, then pasted

She listed all the bargains, then her list was finely honed
With varnishes and items to leave faces freshly toned

She worked upon this list, till it was finally updated
Oh what a caring person was that sweet Sophisticated

Then she glanced upon her text books and made a great decision
"I've got to stop my Bootsing, and start on my revision"!

So thanks Sophisticated for the efforts you have made
Cos once we use our Blinkies, little money will be paid

You know your list is well received, you have our adoration
But sweetheart, we'll cheer louder when you pass your examination!!
