...with me for the following numptiness:-

wasn't going to use the Mitchum glitch, so I haven't bothered reading all the posts about which vouchers to use and which products to buy, but now I've decided that (if I can get a lift to shops with my sis on Sat - no car still, aaaargh!) it is too good an offer to miss. BUT I've looked on .com and can only see the roll-ons. Are these what people have been buyng? I actually use the Smart Solid stick (waterlily - smells lovely enough to be a perfume!) would there be a deal on this?

Iknow this has been discussed loads and loads, but a quick blonde proof explanation of how to " do it best" would be fantastic!

TIA,
Clare

As far as the deodorants themselves go, I tend to use the Mitchum roll ons. I'm sure I've read several times on these forums about people having problems with the solid stick Mitchums disintegrating when used, which has kinda put me off a bit. Plus I don't seem to understand the concept of moderation when it comes to anything in a spray - perfume, deodorant, bathroom cleaner, furniture polish, so a roll on is better value for me.

As far as the glitch goes, I think someone else can explain it better than I can (I've never actually done it myself, but Mr BTVB has)

Hi, just got back from my almost failed Boots mission.
I tidied up my voucher holder (bank coin bag) before venturing out in the rain.
First stop Boots, grabbed a basket and the correct colour of hair dye, so I could do an exchange, found some old H&B mags by the Trevor Sorbie, so grabbed a couple of those. :T
Then I spotted a TS serum...even better, now I've got enough shampoo, so I grabbed a pot of TS gloop, it sounded interesting for my spiky hair.
Twirled past the Mitchum and grabbed one, didn't want to be greedy and the other day, there were no more pinkies so didin't the £5 spend.
Picked up a couple of Time Delay cleansers and a couple of Boots 99p wipes that are on offer. (no sign of any TD or Sanctuary wipes)

Off up the escalator and found the No7 gloves, checked the clearance shelf...nothing.
So, on my way down I browsed the perfume and saw loads of reductions. I plumped for the Paco Rabanne UltraViolet Womens EDP 80ml :eek: it was reduced to £11.63 should have £45 ish :eek:

Went to pay at perfume till and realised I'd left my vouchers at home. When I said I might have to leave my basket with the perfume lady and return, she said don't worry, pay for the perfume and I'll give you the pinky and till spit (well not those exact words)
So I got...

UltraViolet 11.63 45
H&B mag

TS Serum 0 6.99
TS Gloop 1 4.99
Wipes x 2 1.98 reduced 4.58
No7 gloves 0 5.00
TD cleanser 0 4.49
H&B mag

I paid £13.62
should have been £71.05 approx
and I got 260 points

Had to leave my Mitchum and the 2nd time delay :rolleyes: (until next time)

Just putting yesterday's shopping away :eek: and realised that there's still a good offer on the Sanctuary accessories. I bought this:

http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10052&productId=37636&callingViewName=&langId=-1&catalogId=11051

and a second one but different design - it was the same brown background but with green flowers on. They're the large size, so shouldn't be a problem to spot

Cost for both:

£3.75

hi i was wondering if any knows if the boots in birmingham city centre have any mags...i am yet to try out the TS glitch and wanted to know whether its worth the effort to go to birmingham to pick up a few mags.
also any news of availability of TD would be fab too thank you so much you guys are all great on here.xx

Not sure about availability of the mags, but the problem is finding somewhere that still has the serums.

I tried several the other day with no success.

Clare+3, the offer works on all the mitchum.
At the moment it all has £1 off, the sticks are dearer than the sprays, so you will just get the £1.50 off from the coupon plus the £1 off from Mr Boots....if your branch are still doing the Pinkys and the Tillspits, then the till will see the full shelf value when deciding if you are entitled to them.
The online voucher is valid for ages, but I don't know how long the boots price reduction is on for.....you may need to get SA to scan it a few times or even key it in to work, some are more tempramental than others....vouchers not the SAs :rotfl:

Another question re the Mitchums:-

Do they leave white marks on your clothes?

*louby_lou*

I'm sooooo jealous of the perfume offers are getting
the branch on fargate is still only half price and i've just paid £33 for AP bottle.

The perfume had clearence stickers rather then sels
Thanks passion8 for reply.

Passion, were the bags reduced as well as the buy one get one half price?

Clare+3 - do you have any of the mitchum 50% off vouchers? If not, let me know.

Have had no probs with the Mitchum whatsoever here. No white marks, no rashes - in fact i've found it really good ! I do have fairly sensitive skin but no reaction at all to any of the mitchums (spray, roll on, stick).

Buffy - you're very welcome hun xx Glad to be of service ! :beer:
