  • Morning bootsers!

    Just a quick q: any good bits to be had in boots around oxford st? Going up there today for my birthday today :D

    Hope everyone else has a good bootsing day :D

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY SKMS:bdaycake:

    The boots in oxford street have all the offers that are on, thye even have the FCUK weekend kit that is 1/2 price with the H&B mag voucher. Don't forget to pick up the free toiletries bag if you get one because both offers work together.

    The one in piccadilly circus has a big R&M stand that had the Metallics sets at £4.50, but check that they haven't been used before you pay

    Have a good day

    Awwwwwww :( We knew it would happen I suppose. Mr B is really getting his act together these days, sadly. This afternoon is the first time I'll have had chance to go out and try it - really wanted the mirrors and I missed them online!

    £35 is still a good price for 3 mirrors - just have to decide if I can afford it now....:confused:

    Thanks for reporting back Happy.x

    also if you have a total spend from the machine (i always seem to get a 300 ac points wys £35) it will soften the blow a bit

    Happyjaw said £35 after £5 voucher - I assumed that was for 3?

    I thought maybe Mr B had just fixed the glitch, so half price, then 342 (rather than 342 THEN the half price came off before)

    Are you saying they tried to charge you £60?

    I tried to get massager, pedicure set and trimmer and it came to £23 but I am not convinced she put it all through the till properly so am going to try another Boots this afternoon.

  • They tried to charge me £60 for the mirrors this morning! Hasten to say never got them.

    Not working in store this morning, on the mirrors glitch. Even took the print out of the online offer but it came up as £35 with £5 electrical and she wouldn't budge.


    I can also confirm it's not worked in store today - all items still half price, but not going through as 3 for 2... Gutted I missed it, but serves me right for being a wimp and not trying yesterday!!!
    :heart: I have this theory that chocolate slows down the ageing process.... It may not be true, but do I dare take the chance? :heart:
  • They said the 342 is only on the Christmas stuff and not the electrical. Def not 3 for 2 now.

    It does actually say in big signs that all No7 is on 342, so you could probably argue it if you really wanted to.

    I won't be, though. Was thinking of trying to get some for Xmas presents, but since I got my mirror last year I don't really need to.
