    Which Soap and Glory sets are they? And why are they in such demand?

    They are called 'Admit it, you want me' and they were a free GWP but now they are £5 each or 3 for £10!

    We all want them coz they're LUSH! :rotfl:
    Actually, I've never seen one but if I do I'll be nabbing a trio myself!

    ;)
    "Buy me, Lady", said the frock, "and I will make you into a BEAUTIFUL & WHOLE & COMPLETE human being".
    "Do not be silly", said the Man, "for a frock alone cannot do that".
    "True", said the Lady, "I will have the shoes and the bag as well".
    :rotfl:
  • Ty, it all makes sense now :-)

    Well 3 is the minimum for the 3 for 2 offer and I guess without knowing what mimi's motives are for buying them we shouldn't start having a go.....

    :D

    Especially as he has said before he gives lots of stuff to the single mums who he works with as he knows they do not get alot of treats :T

    You do not fancy checking if the paper gift bags go through for 1p if not buying anything on 3for2 on your way home do you? ;) Mind you...hardly a SK worthy mission eh


    Hi y'all :)

    Don't know if anyone's reported back on this yet as only just recently got back, but alas no :( The GWP paper tie bags do not scan for 1p on their own, till says 'coupon criteria not met' Even though a coupon has nothing to do with it. :confused: Sorry peeps, sooo wanted it to work too :(

    V impressed with Meadowhall Boots' access though! Just parked on top 'red' carpark and there's the chuffin' entrance right there!
    Bonus! Straight in with no faffing around walking past or through other 'pointless' :rotfl: shops... SK official stamp of approval for that. :T Was a bit small compared to Traf ;) but the staff there were really nice :)

    Sk over and out

    Hey SK! Thanks for trying!
    Think there's a .com glitch on them tonight......

    Do you not think buying 9 sets is a little greedy. Is it any wonder I have been to 4 Boots in the last 4 days and the shelves are empty. Think that glitch will be fixed soon dont you think??

    Yikes i think thats a teeny wee bit harsh. Most people would be buying at least 3 to take advantage of the offer anyway. They would make great pressies so i can see how peeps would be tempted to buy more of them. I'd have bought more than the 3 i did TBH, if i had more people in mind that i could have given them to as pressies. Thankfully i only know of 2 friends who appreciate S&G, so its one of each set to them and one for little old me:D :D:D
    :starmod:C'est la vie:starmod:
  • The gift bags have all just suddenly gone out of stock! I had 4 in my basket but they are there no more
  • Ooooooh, interesting........

    I've just ordered some (only 20, didn't want to be greedy!) and have had my email confirmation. However, the item code on the email is for the S&G bag and it also says "S&G GWP Gift Bag". I wouldn't actually want the S&G bags, I wanted the gold ones :rotfl: Oh well, will just wait and see what's delivered (if anything!).

    I did exactly the same, and though "gold bags" showed on the screen, the email said S & G bag, and I also didn't want to be greedy!

    Thank you everyone for your "Help The Aged" gestures, by kindly explaining what I had to do. Now why oh why was I glancing over my shoulder whilst, with shaking hands, I made my modest order!

    Which I then padded out by buying some 3 for 2s for the grand-children! No Pinkie Police to look out for this time, but the Gold Bag Gestapo!!

    Thank you again for explaining this all to me - you're all so friendly, I feel like calling out "anyone for a coffee?" - and I have about 40 mugs, so that should be enough! :beer:

    Piccy posted by Pollsdolls here it was a GWp on £15 spend however Boots are selling them for £5 each on 342 now
    This is a do-it-yourself test for paranoia: you know you've got it when you can't think of anything that's your fault.

    :D

    Thank you love. I think in the future if I go out to Boots, I will have to ask on here first to see if it is OK if I buy x amount of whatever I am getting, in case someone might not be able to get some!

    And I am using my points up as I have had a friend's aunt, and someone from CS (when I phoned them up to ask them about something) that £170 worth of points is really high and that I should start using them. If I see a bargain, I don't see a problem in using my points up!

    And before I go, is it OK if I buy 2 x meal deals with my points tomorrow or will that be a problem?
