  • am i the only one who's a tad miffed by the quality of the no7 gwp?
    it's looks fab in the book, the bag is carp and i got clear vanish not the lovely pink one :(

    i tried the fragrance and fragrance free Olay hand cream , but neither scanned with bluey


    I cant say i am overly impressed with the new No7 ladies GWP either, my DD got one tonight with the tan maintainer using Pinky + SS Split and got it all for 50p.
    I was going to get one myself, but the shop was about to close and like i say, i wasnt overly impressed with it but might try it myself tomorrow because just like the rest of you... i just have to have one! :p
    It`s nice to be important, but its more important to be nice.
    The world is full of people throwing stones at us. Its what you do with them that counts. Build a wall or build a bridge.

    PASH aww Mrs T.. another day another store.. or think of it as all the money you will save! it happens to the best of us chick.. dont let the DRAGONS get you down!! chin up! x
    JAMTART Mrs T - chin up! she could have been talking about you in reference to the tills and criticising the way the tills work and asking her manager to fix them? don't assume the worst. Head high :) thats what wicks me off about boots, you are made to feel awful but why do they insist on giving out vouchers if we cant spend them?!


    Thank you both. I know she was defo talking about me in a bad way as I could see the two of them looking at me as I went up the escalator.

    I am defo giving up on glitches like that, I am just gonna stick to using one voucher and looking for reduced items. It all came to light because my stupid 250 points from the previous mens gwp would not scan it said it was not valid and she came over :mad:

    Ahhh well hopefully I will feel better in the morning.

    Happy stress free bootsing to you all :D

    Evening all

    Well I had a really bad day in boots today.

    .

    sorry to hear you had a bad day MRS T:( something similar happened to me in boots yesterday. It knocked my confidence a bit. But I had such a good day today, I feel sooo much better now:)


    Is the whole No7 range 3 4 2 or is it just bathing products? Cosmetics are not going through 3 4 2 on dotcom. I'm sure I read a couple of posts earlier where peeps have got 3 4 2 on cosmetics today:confused:

    :( I was about to find some no7 christmas gifts so I could get it !! Is it really tacky??

    No, no, don't be put off by me. :eek: You must see it for yourself and decide hun.
    I don't suppose it's 'tacky' per se, it's just the styling is very old fashioned, victorian clutch bag-esq, and i have contempory tastes.
    I wouldn't even get it to give as a gift, but the major factor for me not wanting it is there is nothing in it i haven't got or would like to use....
    Unlike me i know, but giving this one a miss :o Please, go check them out

    Evening all

    Well I had a really bad day in boots today.

    I decided to do a few transaction using ts and pinkie today and managed to do two transactions then the woman that polices the ss till spotted me and said ooh no you cant use two vouchers, I cant let you have it at that price.

    I said oh right ok I thought they were different, (played dumb you know)

    I said ok well I will just take the rest of my shopping to a normal till save all this kufuffle with the vouchers.

    My mum happended to then over hear her talking about me with a manager.

    I felt really stressed walking out and dont know if I can take any more of this feeling edgy ever time I shop. I feel like now I cant go back to this store as they will be watching me.

    I have had enough now I think. Im no good at this :-(

    It has really put me in a downer all day. Not because I didnt get a bargain just because of the stress of it all.


    MrsT

    I can completley sympathise with you, this is so similar to what happened to me last week :mad:

    I hope you feel better tomorrow, I know it left me quite upset for the whole day, even when I went into Boots today I imagined every SA was looking at me watching my every move, it's a terrible feeling :o

    Big hugs and please don't let them win, remember you are not doing ANYTHING wrong, you are spending your hard earned money :grouphug:

    I like it:) the contents are nice too, especially the 'long lasting 'eye liner. DD tried it on earlier, but had trouble getting it off, LOL

    But master scorpiokitten we follow your lead :D;):p I'll try and get to a store to check it out. Not sure I can spend £20 to get it - but may try and buy a few presents from No.7 (although seem to have most of my presents sorted hmm:cool:) wonder if I can just find one on e-bay! I love vintage-esque stuff so if its more the taste thing than the tack-factor I'll risk it :)

    :ABeing Thrifty Gifty again this year:A

  • :rotfl: It is, it's just personal taste is all hun. You go for it. Could you not take back a previous (£20+) No7 xmas gift you may have bought and re-buy it again with the GWP? Tad naughty i know, but trying to help your pocket here. ;)
    You've made my night with your 'But master scorpiokitten,...' quote! Lol. Quality stuff. Thanks for the chuckles :T :rotfl:
