Any idea why that happened? When you looked at the receipts, the SA falled to scan your vouchers? I wonder if some do this on purpose because they don't want you to have the deals? I know some seem to hate it when you get a deal, even when the voucher works without a problem!

Just back online after not posting for a week, only to find that I will never catch up.

I was on page 114 of the old thread and found there were 114 pages in the new thread, then found there was another new thread with 6 more pages
:eek: :eek: So many pages and so little time. Apologies to those I have not answered as I have had problems with my PC. It was nice to see on glancing through the old thread to see that my my word for the pink vouchers Pinkys is being used.:j :j

Well done Kitten for your lovely photograph and collection of bags. A girl can never have too many of them.

I haven't logged on since I last posted here, 14th August? As I am very distracted at the moment and not concentrating on Bootsing as I should.

I am awaiting results to find out whether or not I have secondary Breast cancer in my bones. It doesn't look much looking at that sentence but it's a heavy burden to carry at the moment both for me and my family.

Some days I am ok, while others I am not good at all. I am a very positive person, but its not easy trying to stay positive all the time.

There are a few lovely ladies on here who know and have been a big help to me. But maybe you will understand why I haven't been myself, or have kept disappearing these past 2 months or so.

This has been going on since early June, and I don't get my final results until early September. This is due to having to ring the hospital to my appt brought forward. I had to wait 4 weeks for that date.

Then I saw My Consultant and she ordered an ultrasound and I had to wait 4 weeks for that.

They found that I have an enlarged spleen (Whats that all about ) I was referred for an urgent bone scan and they rang me with the date of that less than 2 days later.

So in total I only waited 5 days for my scan but I dont get the results for 4 weeks as my consultant is on holiday.

I have been throught this a couple of times before in the past ten years but it doesn't get any easier. I keep making the effort to post, but until I know whats happening I'm just not really here.

To the many newbies, who have come on board in the past weeks, welcome from one of the more mature members.


I noticed that in past weeks many photos have been posted and I must congraulate all the beauties who are on here, I am very impressed at all the stunning faces I have seen. I am way too old and wrinkly to even try to compete. :rotfl: :rotfl:

When I was young, 2 particular phrases used to puzzle/annoy me.
The first was 'Youth is wasted on the young'
The second was 'The wisdom of age'

i thought they were both a load of old tosh. Now I am older I understand and agree with them, particularly on one aspect, and it is this:-

When we are young we will always find faults with ourselves, whether it is our hair, out skin, our nose, our bum/weight etc.

But with the wisdom of age, I found that I was never so beautiful as when I was young.

I never appreciated the wonderful smooth skin, or the sparkling eyes, or the glossy hair. Neither did I appreciate the healthy vitality in my every step. I never stopped to think when I bent to pick up my babies, or carried them on my hip, that one day those bones would be old and brittle and I wouldn't be able to kneel any more.

And I am sure neither do you, what I am trying to say very clumsily to all you beautiful women is enjoy your youth and beauty while it is still there to enjoy and don't worry about the little things.

Pollsdolls what a beautiful and meaningful post. Just to let you know that I'm thinking of you and hope it all goes well. Take care and please do let us know if any of us Bootsers can help in any way

yeah sorry should have been a bit more descriptive, basically it was ts products i had bought and she wouldnt scan the magazine voucher she said it didnt work but she never tried it and she just deducted the price of the shampoo so the 2 for £7 didnt kick in and I had to pay full price for first ts product.

i think it just depends on coupons and vouchers mainly like the td mag coupon needs to be put in before the till spit. etc.

HTH

Sorry for the vagueness, x
