    I just worked out if i buy 3x the r&m half price sets with the PKSK47 voucher the sets would work out to be £11 each. Amazing. (that's when you subtract the points from the £50 total) sooo want my bf's work colleagues to buy their gf's them! it's too good to miss. but he blatantly wont pitch it to them. :(
    i would then get all the lovely points to spend on more s&g bits! grr.

    This made me laugh so much. I know what you mean about wanting other people to buy things when you find something so good and then the disappoinment of someone else not sharing your excitement!! That's men for you. I'm taking my other half in to town today and I know he'll last about ten minutes in Boots before he has to go to a gadget shop! Actually that reminds me I had a horrible dream last night that the big Boots in town had been converted into a Currys. :eek: Woke in a cold sweat ha ha!

    It's terrific value isn't it, but I just have no use for 3, not even using 2 as presents :(

    I think my bf's just jealous he doesn't get as much attention as my bargain hunting! lol.

    My towns (i'm at uni so home and away) have 5 boots in total! all 3 are quite big! Jealous? :p
    I did alternate yesterday between the two stores as i embarrased myself in the first one lol.
    Bring on that new shopping centre in london on sunday! <3
    My theory is the staff will be new so we could get away with more bargains! :rolleyes: lol.

    Rather than getting the SA to pay *way* too much attention to your transaction, a foolproof solution is to either get one item that is less than £6 or to get two mirrors.
    Yes, you're right, I 've just checked back through my receipts and each time I've done a £6 mirror, £7 gift, £5 gift. Not by design, I hasten to add, I'm far to disorganised for that! pure luck. So a £5 gift or 2 mirrors seems to be a 'foolproof' way to do this, barring Pinkie Police (thanks SandraScarlett for that term, lol)
    I mostly use the SS, but yesterday I had a brilliant :T SA who did the FCUK half price, 342 gifts (with RM mirror) pinkie and ts, even though the till wasn't willing, the SA somehow did it.
  • Hi does anyone know if the pinky/tillspit would work on the No7 skincare treats set £15.00
