The no7 serum now seems to be 18.50! Wasn't this just 17.xx? I remember checking last week to see what I wanted to buy to get a gwp. The "good" news is now you can buy just this and get the gwp; the carp news is Mr B has raised prices yet again!

I'm sure that this used to be £15.75 before the hype about it started! And the minimum spend for GWPs used to be £15. I'm sure it's only about 18 months since these prices were valid!

I've used the T&G ACM voucher on reduced Model Me twice now - the SA had to manually add the points each time, but each SA has been quite happy to do it, as the ACM voucher doesn't exclude reduced items.

Guess I should have asked her to, but I so could not be bothered, plus I was in a bit of a rush.

I don't know if LEEDS ALBION STREET STORE still have them, but last week I saw loads of DR LOWE products with reduced SEL's. If these are still around, could use the new BLINKIE on them for a bargainlicious skincare item.

Hi

Just a quick question, does anyone know how many £5 p&p vouchers you can get from the ACM please? I know that with the UG it was 3 and wondered if it was the same.
Just trying to plan my shopping trip!!

Cheers chucks

Sorry if this has already been mentioned - haven't been around lately. Today in Oxford Cowley Rd store I saw Annabel Karmel's baby & toddler meal planner reduced to £3.75 (from £14.99) ~ unfortunately I already have a copy, but it's a bargain for anyone who wants one!

I noticed today that boots have put the price of roc facial wipes up to £6.49.

Yes charleypink, we have all noticed that things we could get free with the vouchers before have been increased in price, so we now have to pay the difference.

Wellllll, we do well out of Boots with all the glitches and exta points...;)

can i just ask a question lol well its sort of a queiry

i phoned up cs today regarding my little sale order that eventually went through (only a handful of items as rest had gone lol)

i had 1 broken item and 1 with missing bits, the person i spoke to said they would re-order them and have them out to me straight away, which must have gone through as i have had a confirmation email for them, but then said could i return the items either via store or re-box them and sent them back.) quote

I don't think you have to send them back. I once received a parcel with broken Children cod liver oil ( imagin the smell and mess ) , CS just sent me a replacement.

i think i am one of the only people on this thread who actually managed to get 90% of today,telephoned local store at 8.30 this morning to check if 90% was on today SA told me yes.Got there about 9.05 found
r&m set,
wrapping paper x 2,
crackers x 2,
cp eye pallette,
2x make up bags
puppy book ends.
on top of that i bought
3 bottles 200ml HE shampoo,
4 bottles 200ml conditioner,
1 400ml HE shampoo
1 400ml HE conditioner

wasn't til i was on way out i realised that i had been charged 75% discount instead of 90 even though there were 90% signs up
anyway queried it with SA told me to wait but i told her i had to rush off so i would come back later.
went back hour later all 90% sign had been replaced with 75% again.
i explained to a lovely SA that i bought them at 90% earlier but been mis charged.
SA refunded all the items then got the manager to come and overide system so i could get 90% off.SA and manager didn't have a clue how to work out 90% so i told them to find 10% by moving decimal point to the left of the original price and that is what i should be paying.

blank looks all round

this is what they worked outand wrote on my receipt

crackers was 11.75 now 45p
puppy bookends was 11.75 now 45p
make up bag was 9.79 now 30p x 2
family crackers was 7.83 now 80p
cp eye palette was 5.87 now 60p
wrapping paper was 4.89 now 48p
r&m bright eyes was£14.68 now £3.67 (still went at 75%)

great,finally getting somewhere more or less!

until another SA had to put them through till with an over ride

crackers came up at 25p & 11p
r&m brighteyes came up at 43p
bookends came up at 15p
cp eye palette came up at 15p
wrapping paper came up at 24p for 2 packs
make up bags x 2 came up at 7p each
got charged an extra make up bag @ 2.44 which i didn't have but wasn.t going to say anything in case it ruined my whole purchase
then i found an in the night garden bath set and sponge which i got for 10p as the box was bashed

so today i have spent £8.45 and
recieved 912 points
1 new skincare voucher
and got a bit more stuff towards having a cheap crimbo 09

just a shame there was no S&G or P&P lol!

:A just thought i would have a bit of a brag:A

ps. SA said 90% has been taken off until next week
