Just found out that members of the RCN can get an 8% discount for boots! yay

Oh, In a way I'm hoping someone else reports they've had the beep on TS/Pinky combo (and kinda not too) - am beginning to feel a bit now as I feel I've given you all an uneccessary fright :eek: . It defo happened, SK where are you to report back???

***I'll get me coat*** "TAXI"

Pinky/TS still working on single and multiple items...

Hey hun, went to Manchester Arndale tonight, sorry (well not really, but on your behalf, yes) to say they both worked fine.
Got another mirror for £4.99 too! :T Also more good news, went to Manchester Fort and managed to get another Star Highlighter palette. Woohoo! Have my 2 now, so am very happy with tonight's shop as i now have 2 of everything i want from the new xmas ltd ed range

PS: Oh yeah, many thanks to the person in manchetser fort who left 2 pinkies near the tills shoved in the foot totes/slipper things, they went to a good home tonight.. ;D

Has anyone got the 250 points from the no7 gwp to work yet - I've tried it on 3 seperate transactions and it didn't want to to scan. The SA offered to get the manager to manually add the points:eek: - said not to worry as I'd probably be buying more no7 before the expiry date and scuttled out!

I had the same problem, I didn't realise until after I had left the shop. Also with the metallic eyeliner it added the 100 points from the ACM but not the normal 8 points, so, everyone check your receipts - I went back later and got them added manually.

Can I just ask, do you gals n guys who have 'done' the boots sale before, get the goodies asap from Boxing Day onwards or wait and see when it goes to 75% off in Jan?
I'm getting rather excited at the thought of my very first Boots sale :j
I'd just like to make the most of my hard earned money er points I mean!!!

Hiya

I've only ever lived through one 75% & 90% off sale (still getting over it too lol) but I see that some of the more seasoned Bootsers have already replied.

I just dawdled in 3 days after the 75% sale had started (I had a fear of large stores) and bought all the wrong things at the time (but since used them in hampers etc). I thought I'd got a job with Boots because I ended up passing tins of biscuits to the old dears (ooh, someone will soon be passing them to me ) and helping people who couldn't understand what percentages were all about! (I didn't mind though, it gave me the chance to see how good some bargains were )

So there's me saddling myself up with biscuits and gingerbread houses LOL, whilst these seasoned lot on here were getting all the No7, 17, and R&M goodies which sometimes contain points vouchers that are equivalent to the cost of the item

But it only took a couple of days and a lot of help from people on this thread and I was buying bargains left right and centre - most of which will be used, or have been used, for birthdays, and this coming Christmas. I break the sets up a lot though, to put into hampers, and not to let family and friends think they're actually getting something for 25% of its original price What's left will go to the charity shops.

As for the 90% sale? *Thud* :rotfl: I'd read about it but never believed it would happen, but it did lol. After that I was hooked and in Boots so often that one store has promised me a camp bed in the corner

Sorry for the long post but just thinking about it makes me realise why I love this thread so much. But take notice of things like geordie_lass or valk_scot have said, (sorry, can't see all the replies yet) and you won't go far wrong Hth

Used my last pinkies on No7 gloves - unpriced on the hanging doofah, but clearly marked as £5 on the SEL on the bottom shelf that I found them on - SA overrode the till but then removed the SEL.

Think my family are gonna think I've totally lost the plot as they've nearly all got these gloves as part of their pressie this year!! :rotfl:
(Dad and bro excepted, for some reason I get the feeling they woudn't appreciate them!)

Cambridge Bootsers: (sorry can't remember your names...:() um, by chance do you know if there's an EA stand in either 3 of the cambridge stores? I'm back in cambridge in 2 weeks will only bother going in to town if there is. Probably wont tbh seeing as town has the ss tills. I think my sister is spoilt she lives in canterbury (where they have ss tills) and our mum lives in Cambridge. Plus our village has a boots! lol.

Hiya :wave: Cambridge City Centre (Petty Cury) is your only chance - I think there is, but Mr BTVB says he will check on Monday (no doubt I will have come up with something for him to go shopping for by then )
