Had to go out and get some bits today, so popped into my local, and very small Boots, just on the offchance they'd have some ROC wipes for 99p and ........................... they didn't.

I asked a young male SA if he could check the stock room for me, and he went very, very red, and said "I've already done that today, and there aren't any". "OK, thanks" I said, I went on my merry way.

Now, did he go red because he was of an age when males go red if anyone looks at them? Or were his blushes due to the fact that millions of Bootsers had already asked him, and perhaps got frustrated? Or could it be for Another Reason, like ..... they may be holding them back?

Have things like this happened before in the far off distant days?

Reminds me of when I asked my 25 year old daughter to go and ask the teenage male SA if they have any "admit it you want me" s&g. Rest of us stood back and tried hard not to giggle

Oh and can anyone tell me how to do those nice short renamed linkys, where you just have the title or name of the link instead of the great big long list like up there? ( if it's complicated pm me!)

Hi minimoneyme. To make a hyperlink: highlight the word(s) that you want to use, then click on the icon that looks like a globe wearing sunglasses (called "insert link") then paste the link into the box that opens. That's it
Hairdryers (there seems to be a generic error on dot com at the moment)

Hi Saandra S, yes it happens all the time. :rolleyes:

Whenever the voucher was for No7 (Which is frequent) the fave items to 'buy' with vouchers was their 4 in 1 wipes.

But as soon the offer was over there was always LOADS of them about, same with the Time delay stuff and others that gave us the item for free or very cheap.

sophisticated.

Any Swansea bootsers out there? I've not been to the Boots in the Quadrant (is it even still called that, lol) since I took up Bootsing but will be going home in the next few weeks, Do they have ss tills? Where is the clearance bit? Are the sa's voucher friendly? Thanks x

Yes they have SS tills There was a lovely clearance shelf upstairs at the back, but when I went in last week it had gone :eek: Perhaps it'll be back soon! SAs have been a bit funny when I've used vouchers before so I stick to SS tills.

sophisticated.

Also clare-t, I've found the Fforestfach store to be good with vouchers And they had a small clearance section too.

Oh I get it now. I am so gonna go to my local Boots and ask the lovely SA that bounces over to me whenever she sees me, (she calls me by my first name these days and tells me all about her life, get her indeed!). I'm gonna go over to her and .... "Hi flower, have you any of those ADMIT IT YOU WANT ME (whilst doing a cutesy little pout and a wink of the eye) sets available"? That is just gonna make me wet myself laughing. Woohoo.

No. I am very old, and was wearing a buttoned up coat! Though mind you, I used to teach teenage boys, so I know their hormones do strange things!
