    Yes, it works with the roll-ons with no further spend needed :) It's the sprays that you need to add something small to, to make the 'spend' over £5.00.


    I'm not one to be all nervy about vouchers but this one worries me :o All the talk of SAs being awful about them, reporting people to HO etc, them not accepting cos they look like photocopies...aarrrrghhhh i so wanna use em:o

    found the padded no 7 make up bags today - the ones that were reduced to £5 - and they had gone back up to £10 - anyone else got any of these today - just wondering if it was just my store??

    I was in Liverpool yesterday for the Matthew St Music Festival ( Amy Wynehouse was absolutely excellent!!;) ) and nipped into one of Boots in city centre, round the corner from burger king!! it is only small, and I didnt notice any SS tills, they didnt have the TS serum or tubs so I didnt get anything,

    Im not sure about any other branches in liverpool/wirral, maybe the ss are only in larger branches?? Saying that, Ours in southport is a big store, but no ss tills

    Sorry....I cleared them of the 2 remaining serums in the morning! Also got the last pack of TD wipes. :rolleyes:

    I passed the stage when Fake That were on....they were excellent. Antarctic Monkeys were going to be on too. lol

    Hi all, Has anyone tried putting the 17 Vintage GWP through with anything?

    I know it goes through with anything 17, but was wondering if it would just go through the till free like the Maxfactor GWP....

    Also, a quick question about the NO7 pinkies - can I use this towards foundation??

    Thank you!!

    Yes I have done this twice and they definetley go through as zero :D

    so grab em quick

    I reckon it would you know...... it just said on my receipt "Anniversary GWP" and I'm almost positive the SA scanned it before any 17 items and it rang up £0.00 on the till.

    We need someone brave to try it.

    I wish there were SS till near me! But I will give it a go - I always look (and feel like) a stressed out mum when i'm in Boots anyway:eek:
