Has anybody actually got the No7 Compact Mirror to work instore with the GWP as It doesn't work online? The Manicure Set and the Illuminated Mirror work though.

This has not been tried in store yet as SK's shop had none left.

I think this site was being monitored very closely yesterday as it was working on .com but every time anyone posted something working on .com it seemed to be fixed soon after. I cant try it as i wont be at Boots until Sat now, bloody kids are off school today, broken water pipe apparently. I tell you teachers will do anything for a day off

• Tried both the No7 mens and womens GWP together with a £20+ spend - nope, only allows one, tried this in several different orders too.
• No stock in 3 major stores of the new No7 'Twinkle' nail polish, nor the No7 Star highlighter palette. Boohoo, hope these are not gonna be rare

Good news:

• You are allowed to get a Mens GWP if you buy ladies things and don't like/already have the ladies GWP
• Pinky/TS combo still working on normal R&M/No7 items and allowing the £5 'credit'. (I managed to get No7 ultimate nail thing and 2x UG elixir sets and paid only £1 for all 3.)
• Above UG elixir things also have a 50 points voucher in the ACM which scans fine on them. 1 per 2x.
• 100 points scanning with no probs on new No7 metallic eye pencils
• S&G old GWP (5 minis) is going through as free

Thats all i can remember right now Been an interesting bootsing day today, got some great things, but all the No7 SA's I got today were really ignorant and paranoid somehow. I tend to agree that they are probably waiting till the pinkies expire to bring on the mega stock of the Ltd Ed's/both mirrors!

See last section of text in SK's post!(s&g)

Ruby and millie mirror glitch busted!

New skincare vouchers not working on olay hand treatment. Time Delay is only selected lines so no wipes etc! No Sanctuary either!

No7 sun is definately bogof, so 4 x £5.75 bits = £11.50 and gwp.

Reports that no7 sun may be on 3 for 2 also, so possibly 6 for 1, ie: 6 for £5.75 and gwp, but not been tried really yet.

Washing and bathing no7 on 3 for 2, so can get 3 bits for £16 and gwp

Mens no7 still on 3 for 2

No other no7 on offer, but seems not all stores have signage for mens/washing/suncare up craftily lol

No7 ladies gwp no getting thumbs up, people raving about the mens though!

Few new gwp's in general, 17 one is £5 spend and seems nice, eye paleete with mascara and there are points on 17 in acm too

Can't think beyond that at the moment and not sure when you stopped reading as such!

Unfortunately can confirm that is true

ETA: And apparently they are loving 'glitches' in red, makes great speed reading! Change of plan needed possibly ???

Before Wed am it was £15. Now it is £0. All s&g is on 3 for 2 including minis. A good basket hider is 3 minis for £5 possibly?

I put £3 towards the blue voucher and bought this:

http://www.nivea.com/products/show/497

Reduced on clearance and SEL from £15.99 to £8 so only £3 to pay. Couldn't find it on dot com, only the body skincare version. Didn't seem like much of a 'bargain' though but I should add that I haven't tried it yet.

if i returened my trimmer thing thats faulty
how would they refund me as i used a pinkie
thanks x

It depends on the SA, I bought a faulty trimmer, the SA gave me the whole cash amount and even when I said I just want the £1 and a pinkie that I paid, said the till wouldn't let her (and I really wanted that pinkie to make a pinkie/ts pair when the RM mirror glitch was working!) Then I returned the (imho) useless eyelash curler the SA would only give me £1 and refused to give me a pinkie :mad:. So, pot luck.

Sorry everyone for the following personal message
aureol212, so sorry about the panic I caused, my pms will explain it, all sorted now.

sophisticated.

For anyone who's interested, there were lots of anti-ageing clearance items in Llanishen for around £8 (sorry I didn't pay attention to names) so these may work with new voucher?

boo_2112

for those that missed out on the oralb......

Tesco have reduced the 8500 to £9.99 :eek:
