PS. They have cleaned out all the Wilkinson Sword Razor's at my local Boots, so if you want some and they are still in your store, be sure to get them! Mind you, I think the 3 4 2 runs out tomorrow does it not?

I think the 342 bit (xmas gifts) is still on till xmas but the 1/2 price on wilkinson finishes tomorrow, (according to the teeny writing on the sels), so yes, fill yer boots, quick, they won't be such a good deal after tomorrow.
btw loads in watford but not on the razor shelf, on a separate end of aisle wilkinson stand. hth

Forgot to post that yesterday I went to have a look at the 17 bag, but it wasnt there, nor was the smokey eyes kit, but the summer one I think. Pink, white stripes.... Seen it before....

Don't know if this has happened to anyone else before ............... went to Kingston branch, and presented my Advantage Card, plus my phone card, and asked for £10 to go on it, using my points.

"You can't do that," said the SA. She then sniffed, rolled her tongue into the side of her mouth, and sort of breathed in through her mouth. "I think you'll find I can" I said, with a pleasant smile. "No. You. Can't." she replied, rolling her eyes, looking at a colleague, and sniffing again, only louder this time.

I looked at her closely, in my Margaret Thatcher way (head on one side, peering intently, deep into her eyes), and said "Oh my dear, do you have a cold? I'm so sorry". She looked startled and said "Eh?".

I then repeated my request for the third time and added "I do apologise for troubling you, and as it's evident that you haven't been trained adequately, if you want to check the facts with your Manager, that's quite OK. I'll wait".

"Look" she said, looking very cross, "I'll try putting it through, but you'll see the till won't accept it". And of course, it did. "Well, I never knew that" she said. Did she apologise? No.

So I took my cards, and receipts and said "Thank you so much for serving me. May I suggest that you ask your Manager to enlighten all the staff regarding the acceptance of points on telephone cards. It always gives me immense pleasure to pass on knowledge, and especially to someone as charming and well mannered as yourself".

And then I did a Miss Piggy shake of my head and sallied forth, leaving Miss Manners staring at me open-mouthed. Has anyone else ever been refused this sort of transaction?

To make matters worse, SAs were walking round the store giving out blueys to all and sundry, and of course there wasn't a single packet of Roc wipes left! :eek: :eek:

Paypal has 10% off boots wys £75 again. Last time you didn't have to go thru paypal to get it (so you don't miss out on greasypalm et al commision) you just typed the code in at check out, don't know if the same works this time code is on the paypal offers page https://www.paypal-offers.co.uk/banner.do?bannerId=17112&type=-1&subtype=-1
might be useful if extra point codes are not working for you, valid until 15/12

just done a test basket (bored tonight, lol) and it seems to work.

From an earlier post I have an Elizabeth Arden voucher from the Prima mag if anyone would like it - I have been unable to get one locally and would like it to be used if possible! Pm if you want it and will post out asap.

A big thanks to Happyroly who offered to print me off some Huggies vouchers and send to me but doesn't want the EA voucher as she has already managed to get one so would like it to go to someone else. 'Tis a lovely thought and a huge help to me as the twins go through stacks of flippin' nappies:rolleyes: . Hopefully I will be able to repay the kindness at some point!

I love your posts SandraScarlett:) you crack me up:D I was looking for Roc wipes too (wasn't every bootser up and down the country?;) ), but only found empty shelves:( I bought some more olay thermal polisher and a DNage thingy on clearance for about 1.00 and I've still got 3 vouchers to use. what's the odds on finding any Roc wipes tomorrow? I bet they restock the shelves on wednesday:rolleyes:

I'm Looking forward to the new double voucher. Not sure when the boujous GWP ends. It's around at the moment though as I've seen it instore today:)

I was clearing out a draw earlier and came across a load of boots reciepts. I had a flick through them and couldn't believe how much I've saved over the last few months - with one glitch or another. I lurve bootsing:D I feel a new glitch coming on...

Yay, just managed to do the nappies glitch although if DS keeps feeding at this rate of knots he won't actually fit them when they arrive!

Thanks to the poster of that glitch.
