    FCUK bag £14
    RM Mirror £6
    xmas gift £5
    Used half price, pinkie, ts £3 to pay :j (obv. made it up to £5 for new pinkie!)
    I picked my SA very carefully. The 342 wouldn't work, he couldn't understand why, tried 2 times then had to over-ride it. Took the half price and pinkie, didn't want to take the ts, but I convinced him to just try it. He was really surprised and happy when the till accepted it.
    well done you
    the reason the 342 didn't kick in is because the fcuk bag is not in the gift promo
    it is 342 but with the mens toiletries, you were lucky the sa was a good one

    the bag is quite good too, got my ds one for his xmas stocking...

    You need to email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL] as they are the only ones who can change it. Their normal suggestion is to simply open another ID and use that instead. However...they will change if it contains personal names or some other revealing info. However...if it was your 'sisters' ID before or something random they may help? Or if you were getting grief because say 'mimi' sounds camp(lol)then they would change it :)

    Ti*s to that, I might as well remain as Mimi1234! Ta for the advice though.

    oh and Clo thanks! (you know what for!!!)

    Gloves should work as did a transaction with nail file and something else the other day and suppose as they are not skin/body or cosmetics that the till should allow? :confused: Maybe if your trying to pull off a bit of a 'dodgy' transaction, you may be better of beforehand getting SA to try scan 3 and see the price? Dunno lol. Guess everyone has them from last time eh! Let me know on msn how many you wanted as think a mate may have about 300 pairs spare lol

    No problemo...glad you got(and presume HR did too?)it in time...good luck in trying to pull it off!
    BTW: DS still was holding the gift from you and HR when I woke him this morning :eek:

    On .com the FCUK bag is marked as xmas 342 :confused:( just checked in the xmas book it is as well) that's why I pushed it with the SA. But I was prepared to abandon shop if it all went pear shaped!

    Just got back from Westfield, it's HUGE!!! Managed to get a p&p foundation for £5 (used pinkie and TS) but had to use the SS till, too chicken to hand both to a SA. Also picked up 2 No7 contouring anti cellulite balms for free (used TS).

    I do think I was overcharged on one shop but can't tell as the til chewed my receipt. I bought
    egg and cress SW - £1.40
    1L water - 53p (HC)
    wispa - 60p
    hair sectioning clips - was priced at £3 but could be wrong.

    Total I paid was £5.47ish but I thought it should be cheaper because of the meal deal and the water being half price. don't have the receipt so I can't work it out!

    Not sure if any on dicount codes board and must run...er like a few minutes ago lol...but http://www.appliancesonline.co.uk is who runs the boots appliances site and they are often cheaper by miles even with codes etc. They used to be on quidco, may be back on again, not sure. Sorry...not much help lol *dashes*

    Hi there, not sure if this has been posted before but I was very happy to find some Ruby and Millie brushes today in Belfast big Boots on clearance.
    They were in a small burgundy coloured pouch and there's about 4 brushes of different sizes inside. Priced at £2.50 each, or 4 for 2 pinkies!!!
    Still about ten left.

    Great for adding to presents for crimbo if you have a few pinkies kicking around.
    Can't find a picture on dot com.:money:
