    Thanks to all the wonderful bootsers who replied to my query about the boots stores in the north east. :money: My plan for tomorrow after work is to hit at least a few that have been recommended - possibly arnison centre, definitely team valley, possibly the metrocentre. I might also try the boro & teeside park stores on my way home on monday. If I can find time I might also hit eldon square on saturday - does anyone know where the clearance section in ES has gone? When I was last in there a few months ago it had moved from its longstanding place opposite the photo counter, in the corner. I don't know if this was just temporary or permanent.:rolleyes:

    Anyone who was thinking about making a trip to the silverlink boots on tyneside: I wouldn't bother. I visited today quickly on my way home (well, I was driving past, it would have been rude not to, right?:rolleyes: ) and left without buying a single item. Really poor No7 range (no decent suncare I could see), no clearance:mad: , only interesting thing was I got to see all the S&G things that were on 342. :T

    Was really glad I didn't buy anything though, cos when i got home my valuedopinions voucher I ordered on monday was waiting for me :T - guess which shop's voucher I'd picked? :rolleyes: Another £10 to spend tomorrow!:j

    on 3 4 2 so if I got 3 I would pay £21.00 would the £5 off No7 and Ruby and Millie PC voucher work? bringing it down to £16.00 use 250 points from ACM and GWP?



    i know this voucher ( no7) one has been used on makeup but not sure if anyone has used it on the bathing range?

    I have been wondering this too. Is this range newer than the vouchers, seems bit odd it would have been excluded.

    Now that I'm up to date I see someone has reported using the coupon.

    Forgot to get the GWP though :mad: silly me... :rolleyes:

    I hope you are going to go back and get it! I went back for an overlooked suncare item on BOGOF the month before last and they gave it me no probs. ( I had bought a self tan item which I didn't realise wasn't on BOGOF)

    The clearance section in eldon square is right next to the benefit counter opposite the tills - you can't miss it. I think it's got a large bit devoted to old make up (nothing really worth bothering with here, it's just stuff without lids/opened/damaged products and not really that cheap considering) but they may have taken this down. Still might be good for getting a reduced rimmel item for the email voucher. I was in there today but I can't remember if the make up bit was still there? :confused:
    They have a couple of other shelves with random stuff which have lost their lids, damaged etc and a few printer cartridges plus other bits. They keep adding new stuff though so worth checking out. ;)
    ;) One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you! ;)
  • :mad: I cannot believe it... I have even drained the ACM of the 250pts wys £30 coupons. I thought these were unlimited but evidently not. I have printed two at a time every time I had opportunity but not used all of them. I think I have printed about 8-10 since 16 July.

    Note to self - do not print this particular coupon unless you need it. I am hoping some more will reappear on 30th July along with some for expert hair removal.

    I was going to get more Max Factor with coupons from 1st vanity case and/or get L'Oreal points with bulk buy of dermo expertise eye make up remover. Have put this on hold now until I find out whether I am given any further total spend coupons next week. Feel very weird without them, it's totally thrown my calculations.
  • Wow Im so glad to see so many of you being able to use the mitchum voucher I have emailed around, Ive lost track of how many I have sent now :D
    I am so waiting for a great glitch to come soon as i don't really need anything at the moment.
    Will not spend more money:naughty:, but will spend more time looking for that great bargain!:dance:

    ...still have about a dozen of the No7 Limited Edition Eye and Bronzing Palette for the princely sum of £1!!! Couldn't find any of the rainbow eyeshadow ones though. The clearance has moved (no wonder I couldn't find it last time I went in!)

    I also managed to use a £1 off when you spend £4 on healthcare (on some of the arnica cream for DS2) without using my adv card, whihc I was surprised about.

    Hope everyone's enjoyed the fabulous sunshine today.

    anyone got a pic of these so I know what to look out for? sounds like you got a bargain there clare+3:T (although I have no idea what they look like yet. They sound expensive from the description:rotfl: )

    It was lovely and sunny in my part of the country too:D I actually got to use some of my suncream stash (bought in boots of course...on sale of course;) ) hope it's nice again tomorrow.

    thanks, but aren't they the rainbow eye shadows peeps are getting for 4.xx?
    I thought clare+3 said it was a eye and bronzing pallete she got for 1.00?:confused:
