    happy new year everyone. thanks for brand new thread.
    i havent been on since boxing day. i had no joy with sales .com ended up calling them and everything was out of stock on 28th, only got s&g grab bag and playhouse, not too bad i guess.
    havent got mailings either, hope i get something better. havent been boots in store too. i have been super money saver and not spend penny this after xmas sales. i just want new laptop, life without computer is crap. i think my kids love, as i spent all days playing and dressing up, and dancing etc...
    we spend ages in our bedroom dancing and messing, jumping our bed. i love them but i miss internet, am i bad mummy?
    hope not cause im good mummy, i just like having a few hours sitting and web socialising:)
    will go and see anything left in local boots, tomoorow. i jus remembered i really wnated gingerbread davent calender,too.
    never mind,

    Which one did you go with? The Blue 8.2MP? We got the Red 10.2MP one, arrived Wed (ordered in store sunday) and I'm very impressed, already got some fab New Yr shots of DD1... 5 days til due date for Baby2... hoping she arrives soon so I can make full use of the camera :D

    Oh and I had to go in on Wed to order my Mum the same one... she was jealous :rotfl:Got me 5xx points for my trouble though (300 ACM total spend and 2xx normal points) So even after spending 7830 points, I still have 61xx :eek:

    It was the blue 8.2MP - I didn't quite have enough points for the red one :rotfl: You were the original OP I think though so thank you :T :T

    Best of luck with the new baby (when it arrives) I am eagerly awaiting news as I've only 23 days left, there has been quite a rash of new bootsing babies recently. Obviously Mr B didn't have enough glitches to keep us busy ;) :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I need to start boosting my points total again as only have about 600 :o

    Not happy!

    Went into one of my boots, no "admit it you want me"s. Went in the other, none there either. There were loads of people in the way, but overheard they'd asked a SA where the GWPS are. Waited, she came back and said "no we dont have any. Thats not a free gift anyway. Manager says its some giftbag, but you cant have one cause we aint got any." even thought there was a HUGE sign advertising the gwp. she was like "no thats not it. theres no free offer". Then some bloke piped up that the gift bag was the old offer.

    I didnt bother buying anything. I want that GWP if I'm entitled to it. All the other women just accepted there was no free gift (despite the sign?!) and bought all the stuff anyway. mad. Also one women goes "well if I cant have that one I'll buy this" and bought the £12 set! she must be insane!

    Another woman was moaning saying people who dont buy S&G all the time shouldnt be allowed a free gift. lmao.

    Cant believe the SA said that though despite the huge display next to her. She even pointed at it and was like no that doesnt exist lol.
    :heart2:Stupid, unreliable vampire.:heart2:
  • Just spotted this on HUKD, thanks to karri123, the OP. http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/308468/up-to-75-off-christmas-gifts-lloyds/
    Lloyds pharmacy have started their online 75% off sale :D It might keep us bargain hunters going for a while until Mr B's starts

    Have finally found how to get the glitch on .com !!

    Order enough S and G to get one of the admit it sets as the gift with purchase but be careful to include at least one of the 1.95 mini pots of your choice that are in the promotion or several assorted ones. Even better if you can do this with part of another order so you are making the most of your free postage and any points offers.

    When you finish your order save it to favourites

    You will then find the admit it set in your favourites and you can add it to your new order. With luck it should then give you one admit it set free for every mini you order, it may only let you have the free set if the mini you choose was of the type on your first order :T

    Just received my GWP freebies. Me happy with what I've got. Although the pendant thing is a bit odd. It will serve as 5 bits of pressies at some point. I've already mentally allocated the Olay and Max Factor things. There are vouchers in the Olay, MaxFactor and L'Oreal stuff as a warning (if keeping until next xmas).

    I didn't order the Mens No7 stuff as I couldn't think of anyone to give it to.

    Now....where's the next glitch...

    Does everyone give these sets as presents? I don't as I assume recipients will know from the packaging and size that it is a free gift! I personally would be a bit insulted if a relative gave me a free gift as a present!
  • how do you save to your favs? i cant work it out on boots?

    Most of the No7 GWP's are actually sold for £6.50 after they have been on promotion. Sometimes the packaging is a bit naff but I bought someone a lovely toiletry bag for Christmas and put all the little minis inside it.......a lot of peeps make up hampers as well so they make nice additions for those......

    ;)
    "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:
