    You aren't being a pain Amy, I'm almost 100% sure you'll be able to use them all together as they're all gift vouchers and not discount ones...

    I'm quite happy with myself, I went into town to get my boyfriend his last bday present (it's today) of a 100ml bottle of the DKNY delicious stuff as he has been wanting it. I managed to get it for £30 in superdrug rather than about £50-55 everywhere else. I'm quite happy with myself even if there was a stupid irate woman in the shop. She did actually look and act like she has been doing drugs for the last two decades, normally I'm very reserved but I enjoy irritating people like her by using language that they don't undertand :D lol.

    It is, I love the green one (I actually wanted it first as I tend to wear perfume quite often, but bf jumped on the bandwagon lol).

    I've just realised something about the HMV vouchers, the lightspeed ones I have had from HMV have been for use online, do you know if the pigsback ones are paper or e-vouchers? If they are different types you can't combine them, but you can combine as many different e-vouchers as you like (and paper with paper too), I do it quite often.

    Hmmmm i dont know. I might email pigsback today anyway as they are doing my head in. I ordered the voucher 10 days ago now and still nothing. :rolleyes:

    I have just ordered the lightspeed ones, and they are for use on the website, but thats fine, if worst comes to worst I will just have to order a DVD or two for someones birthday! :rotfl:

    Just found this on their website:

    "Treat yourself with £10 off a new CD or DVD from HMV stores. This reward comes in the form of a Leisure Voucher."

    So im guessing its a paper one. :rolleyes: How annoying.

    EDIT: Have just emailed them to see what they say.

    That's a bit of a pain, but at least you're getting something for nothing... Usually with HMV vouchers I'll only get e-vouchers as everything is usually quite a bit cheaper online, plus you can get an extra 8% quidco & student discount of 10%.

  • Hi all!

    Just popping in to ask... would any of you like two tickets to see Dirty Dancing on Wednesday 22nd October at 7.30pm, at the Aldywych theatre in London? They are a runners up prize from a holiday comp I entered, but I can't go. So I thought I'd give you guys first refusal before offering them elsewhere :) xxx
