    Hi Anic

    My maths is awful so I was hoping you could help me out please :D

    I am going to boots tmrw to look for ootw and would like to buy the jk nail files to get it.

    But I do not get the same calculations as you

    jk files = £3each x 2 =£6 500 points

    which would cost me a total of £30 for £25 in points is that right

    Mrs T - the JK files are now 750 points for each 2 you buy:D

    thanks angie. I bought them a few days ago and they were 500pts so I presume this is just in the last few days then.

    So £24 worth of jk files would get me £30 in points then. I think the hard part is going to be able to find the files I suspect.

    Thanks for your help :D
  • When I looked in Meadowhall for the JK they were charging £5 per file :eek:

    The £5 threshold for the blueys was removed yesterday. The vouchers are to be given out with every transaction whatever the amount, therefore the till no longer prompts the SA. If you don't get given one, just ask :)

    I was told tonight by the SA that they finished 2 days ago:confused: Guess she was off her head, or just couldn't be bothered. I have only had 1 of these blueys.

    Yes I think the points changed on .com first and now in store also. When I bought them today the signs still said 500 points but I bought 8 files today and got 3000 points. There were loads in the store I went to today and I got them for £2 each:p
    My card had £23 in points this morning and by afternoon it was £54!!!!!:T

    Hi,
    anyone know if any of the Leeds stores have the JK files/wipes, sharpeners & tweezers please?

    Also, how do you use the SS tills:rolleyes: Is there a particular order you have to scan things thru..& is it better to pay by cash or card?

    Don't want to draw any unnecessary attention to myself whilst Mr B is paying me to buy his wares:D

    I got 3 tonight & they are absolutely bloomin' gorgeous, well worth the money. So glad they are on 3 for 2 as it means 1 for Mum, 1 for sister & 1 spare.... for me!! :rotfl:
    I bumped into my friend in there who I'd shown these to online & she'd asked the No7 lady how much they were as there were loads out ready but no SELs. The lady said that they should be £25 Fri & came up at £60 when she scanned it, her manager overheard & said that they would do the for the offer price tonight as they've been advertised early (not too sure what she meant!) so I got the 3 for 2 = £50 and 1 x GWP. I did try for more GWPs but she was adamant that it was for a spend OVER £18, not EACH £18 & I thought that as she'd let us have them early I didn't push it! And I'm not that brave either!
    Go get em ladies!!! xxx


    Did you find them difficult to carry LoopyLaura, as one is really quite heavy, I am wondering how I will manage 3?

    I must have spent that much. I told SA To break them down to small transactions. Asked for the bluey after the first one,thats when she said they were finished. So I paid for all my items in the one transaction then. Never mind, roll on the pinkies, they are much better.:j :j

    Sounds like u had a lazy SA!! I asked and they said they usually have to give one per transaction so I said break them down. As I was already causing a lot of hassle due to my S & G not going through on 3 for 2 and the JK nail files @ £2 as per the old SEL and a free make up bag GWP with JK the poor SA just said I'll put it through as 1 but give you the 5 vouchers!!!

    I then went and picked up 4 of the John Freida Serums and 2 Bourgois sharpeners and put them through on the SS tills with the help of a lovely SA who was chuffed to find out she could spend her vouchers on JF and Bourgois cheapies!!!!:T
