    I don't think anyone has posted this, because if they have, I have missed it.

    When I was buying yet more wipes for DD today, I mentioned that I really wanted the FCUK overnight bag for my daughter, but did not want to pay £40 for it, and there probably wouldn't be any left to go in the sale, the very nice No7 SA told me it was going to be one of the half-price offers, along with a couple of the No 7 big giftsets.

    This is the bag I am talking about. The picture does not do it justice.

    went bootsing today, after trying to figure out how to buy everything to get the 1000 points today and then the 1500 at the next xmas night. OH didn't seem to understand how there was so much thinking to do about though... just doesnt understand! any way..

    First Shop
    Lavender Gift Selection £10.00
    Coin sorting Jar £10.00
    Coin sorting Jar £0.00 (342)

    Ted Baker Mens Set £8.00
    Ted Baker Female Set £8.00
    Ted Baker Female Set £0.00 (342)

    S&G the firminator £10.00
    S&G Soap £5.00
    S&g GWP £0.00

    Total £51.00 Pinky and extra 1000 points

    Second Shop

    that cat that looks like Hello kitty, Nail file keychain £0.50
    Two bottle diet coke £1.50
    and a grabbed packet of crisps to make it over a fiver (1p short grr)

    a TS

    thrid Shop
    FCUK Weekend Bag £7.00 (half price coupon)
    intended to get it as part of 3for2 but didnt want the hastle, and got antoher pinky so...

    Fourth shop
    managed to grab two "no7 super Slim" anti-cellulite lotion, reduced to £5! 200ml. Look really good.

    Went to use my pinky, and the SS said "insert coupon", so I did, and because it was so full it wouldnt go in properly, so it kept repeating itself, so I stood waiting for a SA to come over, and took it out whilst waiting and folded it in half to put in, and as i was doing this, the screen went like when the transaction is complete! so I used the piny again for the second bottle!
    Left it in there that time, felt cheeky to use it for a third time!!

    So i got two bottles for one pinky!
    :heart2:Stupid, unreliable vampire.:heart2:
  • :rotfl: I knew there would be someone on here who'd have both :D Thanks ever so much geordie_lass - I will remember to pack it in my bag for a lil shopping spree next week, and remember to press skip bagging :)

    Thanks *hugs*
    Also dont put it back on the scanner plate to get it into your bag as it will scan agin...like I did and the you have to get authorisation to have it removed!
    Will not spend more money:naughty:, but will spend more time looking for that great bargain!:dance:

    Agent Mimi ready to rock! Got £50 worth of S&G. Took my basket to the cute SA, but she was busy and said it would take a while so told the other SA (don't like her, she be mean!) to serve this "young gentleman". Bounced over to her. Explained that I had 3 x £15 + and therefore 3 x GWP's. She said it wouldn't work unless I did it all separately. I said I wanted my 1000 points! She said it won't work. I admitted defeat and was just about to walk off. Manager walked along and asked what the problem was. SA explained. Manager said DON'T BE MEAN, JUST PUT THEM THROUGH FOR THE YOUNG GENTLEMAN at which point I smiled and winked at her and said thank you. (Young gentleman twice in one day, I blushed, I wanted to tell her I was agent Mimi of the 8th Emancipation with full lips that are 1.5 x bigger than Angelina's, but thought best not). Anyway, everything went through. Spent £57 cos I got 2 x lunches too. Got my 1000 points, got my double points. Spent £57, got 3 x S&G GWP, PINKIE and 1500 + points (1000 Xmas points, 288 normal points and 288 double points). RESULT or what! Bounced in again later to get my free lunch, last day of the month. Went to the lovely SA (not the cute one). Then got 4 x £5 ORANGE top ups for a lady friend in USA, at the same time bagging 4 x PINKIES. Another lady friend, again in the USA, wants 4 x £5 VODAFONE top ups, so I will bag another 4 x PINKIES. Agent Mimi now has lots and lots of points and even more PINKIES! Hope you all had a good BOOTSing session today. Have a fun Halloween and an even better weekend. I would say be good, but being bad is even better, so be bad! Oh Agent Mimi is being beckoned, laters my lady friends! PS. All bits and bobs have been posted out, you shall get them next Monday hopefully. Kisses to all and sundry.

    Hi there

    Do you just enjoy buying all this stuff and getting the freebies - or do you actually use it? it's not really money saving if you are just buying it to give it all away.:confused: IYKWIM
    :)I used to have a life............................... before MSE!!
