12 No 7 vouchers :eek: :T :j
Gosh I can see why you've got a headache :rotfl:
It really depends on what you will use/ want for pressies etc, and also if you want to go for minimum spend or if you have certain bits and pieces you would like to treat yourself to
If you're going for the low spend option, I'd suggest looking at the R&M accessories- pack of 3 cosmetic face sponges, posh nail buffer, and the R&M bags all go through for free with a spit
I think the R&M i-liner is also a fiver, and there are lots of other R&M brushes that will be just a few pounds after a till spit.

Also sunstuff is a good buy- could get 2 x lip/ eye screen or 2x glossy locks for just 75p with the voucher which is really good value (or even 4 x if your store has them on half price :eek: )

Don't forget the 250 pointers from the No7 gwp's if you haven't already spent them

Good luck hun, and let us know how you get on

LOL I will have to get 16p paracetemol too. Thanks, I had forgotten about the RM stuff that wasn't on main stand and it never occurred to me that it qualifed for the tillspits. Most RM stands I've visited have been clean out of cheaper brushes so I have only got one of those so far. Though I did get 4 bags:D I am trying to avoid spending more than £1 or so unless I'm spending £5 to get MORE VOUCHERS (eh? Why am I doing this again????!!!!!!). And yikes if I go to SS tills I will probably womble MORE VOUCHERS. Still all the better for my fellow bootsers for when I pass on my leftovers next week.

Can anyone tell me quick whether the 250pt gwp voucher is still beeping, even if you hand it over first?

TIA

I just did the ts glitch twice in my store and went through fine!! The no 7 lady shocked me by telling me how to get the gwp and save money- i had already done it and as going for the hair gloss but thought wow!!
also finally found td wipes and sanctuary comforting balm- Anyone else in Northern Ireland by the way??

Haven't used the 250 pointer myself but others have reported using it with nail varnish without any beeps, so I'm guessing the tills have now been programmed to accept it

I was stopped from using TS glitch yesterday I was putting my products on the till and this SA walked to me and said that she could not let me use the vouchers with the TS since it's the combined offer. However if i wan i can get the 2 for £7 offer. She said she went to nottingham office that morning and they said one of the offers would be cancel soon. I asked that since it has not been cancelled can I get my products today and then she said no i cannot use my vouchers since the 2 for £7 is on. so i left everything. Felt really bad about that since seems like she was waiting for me since when I was at a till another SA was a bit awkwarded when she saw my vouchers and the TS products and was looking around and then when i saw that SA walking to me with a security guard!!! (I think she rememberd me since i was there the other day int he evening and I dont look western, plus i go there qutie often since it's my local one)

I was at the shop the day before and she served me and noticed the glitch. So yesterday she said you were here before and the vouchers should be only for 1 person per use. Plus she siad there are some other customes are doing this so we have to stop them all.

I went home and called the customer services and was told that the shop should honor the vouchers by override the 2 for £7 if i dont want to pay £7 but get the BOGOF offer.

has any of this happen to any of you?

Not happened to me but if you want to get the shampoo or conditioner for £2.51 I think you could quite convincingly argue that you don't care about their 2 for £7 offer because you want your long hair product FREE as stated on voucher and want to PAY for the other item. The till will force them to give you the shampoo/conditioner for £2.51 instead of £4.49 and if there's a big queue I doubt they'll bother fidgeting around with it to make you pay full price for it. Meanwhile you do get 2 TS products for £2.51 which is still good deal.

If it's a joint or arthritis problem, ibuprofen is good .. if you take 800 mg at a time. I think the bottles say 200 mg is a standard dose, but I have had doctors tell me to take as much as 800 mg at a time for severe problems (but of course to not take that for an extended period of time, just a few days -- I have also seen advice online saying the same thing). I was told to take 800 mg of ibuprofen, then four hours later paracetemol, then four hours later (8 hours after the first dose) another 800 mg of ibuprofen, etc, and repeat the process.

thanks for that hun.. its just my hips tryin to kill me:mad: before i had jess i was gymnast,dnt think it did my joints too much good.sat on the floor one day and couldnt get up my hips just cracked n locked up.was on cruchers for weeks waiting for xrays to be told there was nothing wrong:rolleyes: i had funny hips when i was a baby thou so thats y i got into gym in the first place to try and put it rite.
had some lovely times carryin jess too and went from a size 8 jeans now up arund a 14/16:eek: its not because of weight gain either thank god just my hips r huge yet doctors still dont give a crap.The only pain killers i get given are co-codamol which just dnt cut it but they dnt care its not them that has to cope with it and run round after monster all day.

will get my hc added to my card havent had chanceyet and get some of those tablets in stock:T

Hi, may well be repeating one of you more experienced bootsers but something I spotted yesterday. The No7 mens body wash & face wash on the SEL were priced at £6 so £1 with pinky but when going through the till are actually charging at £6.50. I know it isn't a lot but to quote another store "every little helps"
