Could someone please explain to me the difference between the pinkies and the till spits as I got some of the till spits today at the Metro Centre and I thought they were the same?

They have different barcodes so can be used together sa willing. (or on ss tills)

Ninetails

Maybe more changes to Customer Services and the website?

Popped into Boots in my lunch hour, to see if they had the No7 tweezer set that I was after, which I couldn't find on .com. And they did.:j
SA suggested I split my shopping... so I did:

17 Mineral blusher 5.99
17 Blusher GWP free
17 Eye Dazzle 3.99 but coupon so free.
Spent 5.99, Pinkie and Survey.

No7 Tweezers 10.00
Used pinkie
Spetn 5.00, got another pinkie.

Three more bits for DD Christmas pressie. :T

Cheers all

i posted this in a thread of its own but have been directed to you experts in this thread!

does anyone know how to work out the best way to get the most savings from these 3 for 2 deals on christmas presents?
we have been talking about it but cant get my head round how to save the most money?
i know the cheapest is free but there a method to save money buy grouping certain prices together and going a few times to the till like buying the most expensive together or the cheapest together etc etc
hope you can understand!
any thoughts?

Guys I bought an Oral B 8000 Toothbrush today using the £5 electrical voucher. Just opened it and the charger has a 2 pronged thing that looks like it would go in a shaver unit rather than a proper 3 pin plug. I see a few of you have also bought toothbrushes whilst on this offer, are yours the same? How am I supposed to charge this? Am I being thick or do I need to take this back as I can't see how I can charge it for use? (Sorry for being slightly off topic.)

Hi yeah it should go straight into the wall shaver plug and will automatically charge up, I used to leave mine on over night. If you dont have a shaver plug, then you can use a travel adaptor or change the plug and use a normal wall socket, I had to do this when I moved house, but wasnt sure about the voltage (the bathroom shaver socket is less I think) so I used to keep an eye on it. hth

Anyways, now for my plea for help...asking on the off chance- if anyone has bought a Ghost set in the sale that they no longer need ...She particularly likes "Deep Night" and "Anticipation", but any of them would fabulous. Please PM me if anyone could help!

OFF TOPIC & PRIVATE
Apologies...but....
PM's not bloomin working grrr...

are you sorted huni, if not I think I still have a 'cherish' set, which is fairly light, so if she likes deep night, it may not be her cup of tea

I bought one last week, it wasnt the exact same as yours but it still has the two pronged charger. A lot of houses have a shaver/toothbrush charger in the bathroom-my OHs does- but mine doesnt- so i had to buy an adapter to charge it. From boots of course but it was near the batteries in an orange box that is called 'two pin adapter'. i think it was £3.49. then you can charge this at any power socket in the house.
I didnt mind paying to get the adapter as i got £10 off in vouchers and half price brush originally. hope that helps x

OMG!!!!!
I even popped in today and didn't even notice them :-O
I'm guessing they're in the Cornmarket street branch? I'm sooo excited!!!!!!!
Thanks a billion for the tip off- my prayers have finally been answered

Yup, cornmarket. At the back by the sandwiches. I was too afraid to try them though as I had a big wad of vouchers to use and there were lots of staff around showing people how to use them and I didn't want them to look at my vouchers too closely knowwhatimean.;):D

Today I used a pinkie to buy what I think was a former gwp No 7 purple makeup bag with goodies. The bag itself is plastic and not very attractive but I was pleased with the contents:

Dream lash mascara, black, 4.5 ml
High shine lip gloss, whisper, 6 ml
No 7 Protect and Perfect beauty serum, 5 ml
Protect and perfect eye cream
Sumptuous bath soak, 30 ml
Stay perfect eye mousse
Total renewal micro-dermabrasion body exfoliator, 40 ml
No 7 for men anti-ageing balm SPF 15, 15 ml

It was priced up at £6.50 and I used a pinkie, so only paid £1.50 plus got another pinkie into the bargain!
