Hi everyone,
After posting on here last night about my fothcoming trip to Brent Cross today to do some Boosting (my 3rd Boots store since I got back from my holiday on Thursday night - I must be addicted!!!) or should I say just went to Brent Cross to get my youngest DD some school shoes, I was really pleased to see that they had self service tills. I am a now a wizz at the tescos SS tills and go on the tills sometimes for my job too so after finding that this store had the No7 lash Extensions mascara for £5.25 (I got it price checked as showing full price) and also saw the old pink No7 GWP box and the more recent GWP palette I thought I would check out the SS tills to see if they came up free and so armed with TS long hair intensive conditioner (£5.99) as they had run out of the pink serum and some TS blonde conditioner (£4.49), a TD gradual tan moisuriser (£5.50) and a mitchum spray deodorant and roll on (I finally got six to a page to print after reading a earlier page on here with the link to it - thanks alot whoever it was) I headed over to them. My two younger DD's were keen to put my stuff through and when I tried the palette it was £9.50 so I decided I didn't want it so clicked on the button to remove it and thought I was doing fine but it asked for an overide. The SA came over and started to mess about with it but she was having problems and deleted the wrong stuff and when she tried to put my TS voucher in she couldn't get it in and after spending 5 minutes trying to get it in she succeeded but because I picked up a pink No7 GWP box which scanned at £3 but didn't realise that it wouldn't work with the pink No7 tillspit that I tried to put in after she then got annoyed and said she would have to start it all over again. This meant that she had to open up the whole till to get my TS voucher out!! Opening up the till must have messed it up and it wouldnt recognise items being put in the bags and she got annoyed with it and took my shopping out and gave it to a normal till which I wish I had gone to in the first place!!!! I was also told by her and the next SA that I couldn't use the mitchum vouchers in the store because the mitchum is already on offer (although they let me use the Boots TD 200 points, the No7 250 points and the TS one!!!) so because I just wanted to get out I just paid for everything and left.
Sally06 - I know you are back from your holiday too and I just wondered if you had tried the mitchum vouchers in our local at all?
On a high note after a pretext of looking for the Apple Store and my DH and DD's went back to the car I went back to Boots and brought another No7 Lash extensions with my No7 pinkie for 25p and a TD toner for nothing but another 200 points and used my points to pay for a reduced Anna Sui Flight of Fantasy perfume - 75ml for £19.95 and my points have gone down to 225!!! No signs of any mags in here and I know my local had quite a few when I went in on Friday so I guess I will have to go back to my local to get a couple more before the vouchers and skincare till spits run out!!!
Sorry for the long post - just needed a little rant and to warn anyone lese thinking of tryng the SS tills!!!

I am sure the SS tills are set to beep differently in different stores. One local store has NO probs on SS tills - I can put through almost any voucher and the tills accept them. Another store - they beep constantly - today after I pressed "Finish and Pay" - and I needed assistance!! I complained to a SA today that they must be set up wrong and should be staffed better to help people out - as I have to stand and wait for assistance all the time.

On a different note, I saw three "suits" with clipboards huddling around the No17 today having a long discussion. This branch is only a stone's throw away from HO - so I wonder what that means?

Thank you so much, I did get the PM and just replied! I had to get away from the computer for awhile to read and eat choc to calm down from DragonSA! You are so thoughtful and generous; people like you make the thread so much more than just about shopping!

Totally agree with you

I put out a plea for help earlier to track down a R&M I-define and I was stunned at the response - the amount of people that PMd me offering to help. I was amazed and a bit choked to be honest

There's some seriously kind people on this thread

Only one I could not do was the model me for 'researcher' as unfortunately you were at the bottom of the list and I really could not go grab more lol, however I did post the 6 of TD and TS you asked for this morning!

I have GOT to ask - how in the name of all that is holy did you manage to get 46 mags? :eek: :rotfl: Please tell me you didn't do 46 seperate transactions? <faints away at the thought> I struggle with any more than 5 :rotfl:
