    Does anyone know if Boots have discontinued the Sleep Easy part of the aromatherapy essentials range? Looked in 2 local stores no sign of it?

    I got some body wash from this range reduced to £1.25, it was just left on a shelf totally irrelevent and I looked to get some more, but none to be seen.

    That shouldn't have made any difference, you should have been entitled to one as long as you parted with £5 or more......

    :rolleyes:

    I'm not positive of that, someone here will know for sure, but it seems like when you buy the Boots Gorgeous bags, you aren't supposed to be able to use points to pay (though some SAs apparently allowed it) nor will it count towards getting a voucher because the proceeds go to charity. Wouldn't it be the same with the Pudsey items?

    I'm not sure, just that the rules are sometimes different for charity items (though it didn't seem to impact no7 charity items, but no7 is a loss-leader that the store pushes like crazy, lol).

    For people who think they should get a voucher but don't, the best bet is to ask the SA before you walk away from the till. Then you will be reminding her if she forgot to give you one, and if that's not the case, she'll tell you why you didn't get one and you won't go home wondering if you should be fuming, lol.

    I think it all depends on the moon ............. or if there's an "r" in the month......... or even who got eliminated from X Factor! There's no rhyme or reason. When I used up my pinkie's and t/sps, all in separate transactions, some SAs gave me a bluey, and some didn't.

    In one shop my goods for £5 attracted a 50p discount cos I was using my AC which shows I'm over 60, and you get 10% off all Boots stuff with that. One SA gave me the discount as money, and another just gave me my goods.

    Personally I don't blame the SAs when policies are different in various branches. The fault lies with Management for not instructing them clearly. But I did ask for the bluey if I wasn't given one, but the cheapest way of using it seems to be if you buy ROC cleansing wipes, and you pay 99p.

    Going to the afternoon/evening event on Wednesday, to have a mooch round for any freebies/incredible special offers for OAPs and for some sort of foot balm to go with the pedicure sets. Any suggestions please?

    Many thanks

    Every time you say " .... and I won't be posting here for a while", you can't resist a teeny weeny post!!!!

    This is such an addictive site, but soooooooooo informative. I imagine you, Mimi, as being 35, honed, toned, tanned, 6'2" of male gorgeousness, with muscles a-ripplin' hither and thither...........

    Attracting stares from customers and SAs alike, as you dash through Boots, collecting loads of ladies toiletries. shaking your dark, thick, curly, foppish hair back (a la Miss Piggy), with ladies, of all ages, sighing as you stare deeply into their eyes, with a quizzical raised eyebrow, and a slight, come-hither smile.

    Sorry, forgot I was an OAP then! (Blushes deeply and sings "Ah yes! I remember it well!")

    ;);)

    Oh no :( I absolutely love their Sleep Easy pillow mist, and surprisingly I do find it helps me nod off, and I'm nearly out :(:(:(
