Sorry Jellybaby ....... I was in a hurry and didn't read it properly ....... consider my wrists slapped for not reading properly! lol xxsnipped

Oh it's ok hun, wasn't getting at you at all. Just can't for the life of me remember who got it free and I can't face trawling back through 'cos I'm a lazy so-and-so. scotsmum, did you get the No17 GWP free though or just the MF one?

Re: Mitchum,
Maybe the SA who served me had been told that unfortunately Boots have to accept the Mitchum (as there is no note from HO like broclo said) and was just trying to think of some way to save face. I got the tilspits and pinkie though so it deffo works if they let you.

Re the Mitchum
Do you think there is a certain amount one customer can purchase - would this be the same for every item in store? to stop people stockpiling stuff?
I just realised that it probably wouldn't have come up on the screen "limit reached" or whatever it said if I hadn't put my card in.
I don't want any more at this stage, too afraid to, and my boyf and I have plenty now, but I wonder.............................
Does anyone know?

But you said in your earlier posts you'd only bought 5 in total? This is hardly what I'd call stockpiling?! Maybe the SS till was referring to something else?

Think it was the No 17 GWP that jtb was alerting us to, cos it doesnt actually go through free, or didnt for someone. Oh Im getting so confuddled now. :rotfl:

This is the original alert to the 17 vintage box going through free. Not sure if sarah_skint got something from the 17 range to make it free or just a random purchase....

But this could what happend with the old n7 gwp. The pink cosmetics box was selling recently for £3 in my local boots (the pinky did not work towards that unfortunately). So the tills must have been reprogrammed for that price. Perhaps they did this recently with the leftover stock from the 17 GWP. As I mentioned I got it for 0 with a £5+ purchase, but have not clue if I could have got it without a purchase.

Anyway, less of the debating and more Bootsing! :j Since my local had been shopped to within an inch of its poor life when I last visited (own up you lurkers!) I decided to try Broughton. Hmmph!! What a waste of time! They don't even sell the TS long hair range - I only want to try it to see if it works for me. LOL I want to get two products for 1p - it's like a rite of passage yeh?
Did find a No 7 Cellulite thingy reduced in clearance to £5 so got it with a pinkie. Strangely it doesn't even show up on my receipt so god only knows why the SA did it like that - hope she didn't pocket my pinkie!!

.

Meant to post last night jellybaby went to Broughton myself last night, have never been so disappointed, stood looking at the TS stuff convinced I was missing something.... as I was astounded that they didn't stock long hair stuff...even to the point that I forgot to check out the reduced section :eek: Only managed to get a couple of mags..

Made up for it on the way home as DH drove me to CO which was much better and has a WOW clearance section at the moment..some lovely S&G pink clasp bags reduced to £4 and loads of damask rose, essentials, naked, dead sea stuff and more. ( Unfortunately I am on an economy drive so trying to keep my spends down...didn't even think to get the S&G bag with my points:mad: )
