    I got Model Me shampoo and conditioner in 2 different shops - shampoo was clearance, till wouldn't accept ACM voucher and SA wasn't willing to put it in manually because it was already reduced. Conditioner wasn't on clearance (so cost me £2.88 with wrinklie), again till beeped, but SA got points put on manually for me.

    I have now had 5 lots of clearance T&G Model me products in the last week or so - 2 shampoos and 3 dry shampoos. The till beeped on every transaction when trying to use the ACM voucher for 150 points wyb any T&G, but every time the SA's have manually added the points (one even checking with her manager first), as the ACM voucher does not exclude reduced/clearance items.

    Oh dear Rose, you sound like someone's upset you big time, and I seem to have missed that post as well. And missed the point.

    What's happened about your sale purchase on dotcom then - it sounds like someone's had a go at you? :confused: Someone (see I just haven't got a memory any more!) posted a few days ago that we're not all entitled to every glitch and bargain, and they're absolutely right! Was someone having a go at you cos you got a bargain and they didn't?

    I suppose if you were up for 8 consecutive nights and didn't get anything in the dotcom sale and then read that someone else got 148 white P & P bags, that you might feel a little hissed off - did someone have a go at you then?

    And regarding ebay, I can't recall anybody criticising peeps selling on there, I think the problems arose (well, they certainly did for me), when peeps were witnesses to greedy folk putting dozens of things in their trolleys, and denying others just one. And then seeing an ebayer selling 147 items!

    You say that you don't get any response from posting your lists, but I remember I replied to your recent one (or perhaps that was another Rose :confused: ), and said how clear it all was. We're all hostages of human nature, and I must admit to being miffed yesterday when I pointed out a reduced item to my BF and she said "Wow!", picked it up and put it in her basket!

    But then at the end of the day, my BF's worth more to me than reduced hand cream!

    Thanks Sandra I think the people critiscing were on the other 75% off thread. I dont sell a massive amount and it is only when I am really skint that I sell small Boots bargains such as GWP.S. Anyway as a gesture of goodwill to all who missed out I have the following spare if you pm me for further details. 1 P & P Face and Body Gift Set, 1 S & G Grab Me Bag, 1 Ruby and Millie Vanity Set, 1 Ruby and Mille Make Up On the go. 1 Admit It you want me set.
    Sorry I kicked off having a bad day. Still DD and I are off to Boots where the SA was slagging me off and my DD had a go at her. See how she is. Happy ironing:rotfl:

  • Has anyone tried the No7 Sumptuous Bath Soak? Is it nice?

    Since I got the less than fabulous 100points for No7 Bathing range or whatever, I'm trying to think up ways i can get another gwp fairly cheaply

    So I was thinking 3 of the bath soaks - should come in at around £24, but on 3 for 2 so £16, minus the blinkie, plus 100 points, plus 250 points coupon (maybe?)

    or is there a better way?

  • Hi all just to say that I went into Boots today (again) and spotted the Loreal Men Expert Anti-Fatigue Kit priced on the SEL was £14.67 had it priced checked and it came up as £3.67. The SA said that there was an offer on just now BOGOHP so toddled off and picked up another and they both went thru at £5.50 yay. So got them and earned a Wrinklie. Picked up Olay Definity Face Scrub at £7.82 and the purple Olay GWP used £5 off Wrinklie GWP free spent £2.82 yay. Also got T&G Model Me shampoo reduced £1.22 and TS mini moisture shampoo £1.56 used the £2 off haircare voucher and on checking my reciept when I got home it hasnt taken off £2 it only gave me the £1.22 item (Model Me) free. Tho I used the voucher earlier on 2 of the same items ie Model Me or 2 x UG/2 x T&G/2 x TS and it seemed to only take it off (the £2 voucher) the Model Me range. Just something to look out for. Also picked up No7 Body Scrub (New Packaging) £9.xx and the young helpful No7 SA told me they had this in the old packaging and it was reduced to £4.53. So got 4 and GWP used Blinkie and 250 points voucher from new GWP spent £13.12 and got another Wrinklie. HTH
    Your fooling no one bar yourself.

    Had a pretty good Boots trip today -

    The shower and bath aisle is worth a visit - there are quite a few shower gels/bath products to be had at clearance prices - Radox, Imperial Leather, Palmolive etc, from 37p to around 50p (and selected Radox is bogof too).

    Shop 1
    Model Me dry shampoo £1.35
    Charles Worthington Shine Gloss £1.10

    Used ACM voucher on T&G, and paid with wrinklie, so 45p to pay, and 150 points earned.

    Shop 2
    4 large bottles HE @ 73p each £2.92
    4 sml bottles HE @ 22p (yes, 22p!!!) each £0.88
    2 Gillette shave gel @ 49p each £0.98
    Palmolive Thermal Spa bubble bath £0.49

    Total to pay £5.27, earned wrinklie and 800 points :D

    Shop 3 - same as shop 1

    Shop 4
    vitamins on 342, so 3 packs for £4.80
    Palmolive Thermal Spa bubble bath £0.49

    Total to pay £5.29, earned wrinklie and 20 points

    Shop 5 - same as shop 1

    I started the day with 4092 points, I've spent £12.40 today, and ended up with 5366 points :D

    Has a wander around baby section today (we have no babies), and found this:

    http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10052&productId=36791&callingViewName=&langId=-1&catalogId=11051

    the SEL was 1p but it scanned at 0.00. It was 75ml, not 300ml as in the picture.

    Got 6. SA was abit surprised (as was I), but threw them in the bag anyway. Better than the Johnsons Baby Head to Toe, so expensive for 1p !
