    I went to my local boots where they had out the display stand for the new GWP but it was empty. So I went to my next nearest store and all they had was the old display and GWP'S. I found a R & M slant blusher brush for £5.75 and took it to the till with one of the new £6.50 lip glosses ( for cancer research) and a 99p Collection 2000 powder. I wanted to use the 250 point from the GWP and my pinky. It wouldnt take either so I asked her to re-do the transaction seperately. She put through the r& m brush with the pinky and it beeped. The supervisor was called and made a big fuss and said it was not for R & M. I stood my ground and she eventually made it work. Then she put through the lip gloss woth the 250 pointer and it beeped. The supervisor came over and said it was because it was out of date ( expired 9.9 today!) and I said how come everybody was busy spending their Facial till spits which were also dated 9.9. After a lot of huffing and puffing she added the points and I got another pinky and a till spit. I immediatly got some TD wipes and saved the pinky for later in the week.Anyone would think it was their money the way some of them go on.!!!I am off to London working on Thursday and will go to Bond Street to see what I can get. I got £50.00 worth of stuff last week and all it cost me was 90p. Thank god for self service tills!! By the way the Bristol Galleries is having them in by Xmas!!!

    Wow!!!!:o
    Where was that?

    It was in Tamworth. Has anyone used this Dr Lewinns stuff? I have never heard of it before, but then again it might just be because its too expensive for me.

    Was there any left? Might pop up tomorrow morning. Are the toys still full price there? Anymore goodies to look out for?

    Sorry for all the questions, have to make my Boots trips count as kids moan even when they just see the Boots sign! :eek:

    Went to my local Boots early on, and they had plenty of things below a fiver for the till spit. So i shot to 3 other Boots to try and find the TS serum, after coming into some vouchers, but there was none in sight.

    I returned to my local Boots, to cash in my pinkys and till spits, and everything was gone.

    I would have struggled, but i came accross the mens TD items, that seem to have been over-looked, so i cleared em out. I then found some NO7 items reduced from £14 to a fiver - just the right price for a pinky and 250 points.

    Spent 20 pinkys and 20 till spits. I'm glad its all over, for now. I don't know how often this happens, but it can get quite addicitve.

    Now i am just wondering how to spend the £150 i have accumulated on my card :D

    My fave eye-shadow primer is by Benefit - FY Eye.

    Its expensive (about £17) but I will literally never need to buy it again! It lasts a lifetime and keeps your eyeshadow fixed all night!

    ;)
    "Buy me, Lady", said the frock, "and I will make you into a BEAUTIFUL & WHOLE & COMPLETE human being".
    "Do not be silly", said the Man, "for a frock alone cannot do that".
    "True", said the Lady, "I will have the shoes and the bag as well".

    Have just realised that I forgot to use my 250 point voucher for No7, do you think I could get it added tomorrow if I show my receipt? :confused:

    Is there anything to be had for free with the No.7 vouchers?
    Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you are a mistake.
