    Beware of PIXIFOTO

    They are very nice, but I used my Bounty voucher for a photo of my DS, and they kept pushing to do a full photoshoot and tried to sell the other pics. I had to be quite firm to just get the freebie. (It really was the best one!)

    i had my baby girls photos done with pixifoto a month or so back and there fantastic! some brilliant photos and the set only cost me £115 and i could pay by instalments too.The only problem i had was when my photos arrive a couple of them were bent so i called them and sent them back a week later they were returned and were brilliant :D

    now all ive got to do is find frames for them all that match :rolleyes:
    im not allowed to say what i think so ner!:p

    I couldn't find this posted anywhere else on the thread, so sorry if it's already been done, but for those of you wanting more info on the Sun offer, I cut the page out of someone else's paper today ;) and it says:


    We have teamed up with Boots to give you a booklet of brilliant savings on such things as first aid kits, insect repellent and flight socks. You can also save money on family staples such as toothpaste, anti-bacterial handwash and bodywash, and essentials including make-up, shampoo, conditioners and more.

    Our great discounts include big-name products such as Trevor Sorbie, Umberto Giannini, Collection 2000, Palmolive and Boots' own products.


    So looks like it could be worth it. I'm sure there could be some glitches coming our way, with the Trevor Sorbie vouchers we already have for example?

    I had a FAB day today. The best EVER so far!!!
    Shop1 UG Conditioner Mask
    H&B mag

    used
    1/2 price on UG (ACM)
    £2 till split

    paid 9p

    Shop2
    2x Always (2.99)
    2x Boots Exper BB Oil (2.99)
    2x Boots Exper BB Cream (2.49)
    2x Boots Exper BB shampoo (1.99)
    UG Shine Conditioner Mask (4.19)
    H&B magazine

    used

    1x 1/2 price on Boots Exper vouchers (PC) gave the SA one first incase she noticed they were the same.
    1/2 price on UG (ACM)
    1x 1/2 price on Boots Exper vouchers (PC)
    £2 till split
    double points coupon

    As she putting them through the price was coming down loads, and it was a minus before I had even given her the BOGOF on allways, and she was like :eek: so I quickly got out my o2 topup card, so she said she had to put that through before putting the last voucher through.

    So, paid £7.08 and got
    604 points.

    I was so nervous, what made it worse was her till didnt scan them very well so she was typing about 3 through manually. She was so nice and just put the vouchers through without any hassle I was thinking of getting some more BB experts but didnt have time. But was :j for joy when I got away with it. I do love it when the SA's say 'oh you've done well, and are actgually please for you', so I tell them the info is all on the internet. But the nasty ones I just smirk and walkaway knowing that I've got the power of information from MSE and they have no idea where we get the info. Mwwhahahahaha :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    -I did have a quick look for the elle minis for £2 but couldnt find any for that price they were £4something, those who have managed the glitch are they reduced??

    -Also, the time delay wipes were they not 1.99 not long ago?? I was going to use the 200pts but the wipes were more than £2.

    -I didnt have the guts to try the model me/TS glitches but have I got this right?? for TS use £2 till split, the mag voucher (free TS Long hair), acm 100pys and the mag vocher. For model me use £2 till split, 250pts acm and 250pts from mag. . Is this correct??

    -Does anyone has a spare £5 off olay products voucher, I can do a swap.

    I think thats it for now.
    TIA

    Hi Amelia's Mummy,
    Yup I agree, they should override the till if I have bought thecorrect products but I have NEVER had an SA do this in Oxford!!!
    I tried to use the ts voucher last week but it beeped, the SA said I must have bought the wrong items. I showed her the wording of the voucher and waved the long hair product at her lol, but she stuck to her guns and said it must be an exclusion. If I persisted I guess she may have got someone to override thetill, but then she defo would not have accepted the £2 till spit.:rolleyes:
    Just to give you a taste of what my local is like lol...On Friday I tried to get a model me shampoo using the til spit and my acm 250 points voucher-didn't even attempt the mag voucher as knew this would beep. I was told I could either use the til spit or the ACM voucher!!! SA said no way could I use 2 vouchers on one product. Talk about mean, she wouldn't even scan them to giveit a try. I said I'd leave it as it would be too expensive without using both vouchers.

    Your SA's seem so lovley- may even be worth me doing a Bootsing trip to the Wirral next time there's a must have glitch on lol :rotfl:
    Tiara you are more than welcome any time you like, my brother lives your way so you could cadge a lift off him when he comes home:p

    In my local I would say a vast majority are really nice and got to know another couple over the past 2 days.

    (i'm going to catch up then I'll post my buys but you ay need to get the drumroll ready...or at least you should all sit down;) )
    This is a do-it-yourself test for paranoia: you know you've got it when you can't think of anything that's your fault.
