I've had a couple of interesting Boots visits this week.

DD and I went to the Princes Street store on Monday. I managed to womble a perkie so was quite chuffed. We had a quick look round downstairs, where I added Olay Definity cleanser and gwp, then headed upstairs to clearance shelves. Loads of No7 things on offer, so stuck a couple of them in the basket in the hope of disguising the gwp.

When I got to the till SA put cleanser and gwp through without comment, then added the No7 items, took the perkie and scanned it, but for some strange reason it didn't take the £5 off. I didn't want to complain as I'd managed to get away with the gwp. At least the perkie was a wombled one so I hadn't lost out, and I got another as my purchases were over £5.


When we got to Pizza Hut for tea I opened the gwp to have a look. I'm glad I hadn't paid full price for the Definity. The gwp looks nice but I don't think it's as good a gift as the No7 one. But I will use the Definity so it was a nice little extra.

Mid week I went to my usual branch and it looked as if the clearance shelves had just been topped up I got Mediterranean body scrub, body butter and bath foam all for £1.20 each. Another shopper was there at the same time and quickly put several tubs in her basket. I also picked up a Boots Organic 3 piece collection and a Boots Aromatherapy collection too. Both were just over £1.50. Also Ted Baker Body wash for £1.15. I was delighted with my purchases.

I lost my AC last week, but cancelled it immediately so I'm just waiting for my new one to come. I picked up a temporary one and have registered it in DS's name. I'm using it just now so no idea how many points on it. He says I've to keep it anyway as he doesn't want to use it. He despairs of our Bootsing.

Today I headed back for another wee look round. This was after visiting M&S sale. I blame DD, if she hadn't phoned this morning to tell me about her trip to Princes Street M&S I wouldn't have gone for a look.;)

The clearance shelves didn't seem to have anything more than they had midweek, but they did have more Olay gwp in and the pore scrub cleanser. So I decided to give it another try. I also picked up another couple of the Ted Baker body wash and a box of mansize hankies with balm. I've been sneezing terribly for the last couple of days so my poor wee nose needed some tlc too. I headed for the tills ready to try the "Oh I didn't realise" if challenged about the gwp. SA tried to put it through first and said it was a free product with a purchase, but then she saw the cleanser so scanned it and then gwp again. It worked, of course.:j

I was exhausted after that so decided to head for Starbucks to have my free cup of coffee. I bought a lovely slice of ginger cake to go with my coffee and sat down to enjoy. I decided to open the gwp to have a look at the contents. Good job I did. I realised as soon as I opened it that it didn't look right. Half of the products were missing. But now I have the dilema of risking taking it back and being told I shouldn't have had it with the cleanser. So I decided to leave it till tomorrow and take it in without the rest of my purchases. If I accidentally don't have my receipt with me there shouldn't be a problem.

All this shopping is such hard work I feel the need for a pampering evening. I certainly have more than enough lotions etc. Can't think where they all came from

I don't think you will have a problem as the deal is gwp with olay definity not just moisturisers so its not actually a glitch, just an offer.
