Got my mailing vouchers today, what a load of bullish. 2 x 150 when you spend £20 or more; double points and £2.50 off £10.00 healthcare spend. Boohiss!

Saw some posh hair dryer/straightener things and some BabyBliss For Men items on clearance in the Dewsbury store. They had tart loads of S+G Glove Story sets too.

Gosh, had a look at that picture of the woman with the leopard eye make up. Is she meant to look hot or scary? I know for a fact I would leg it in the other direction if I ever bounced in to her. Oh err Missus! Do they have that eye make up in a zebra style? I would love some! LOL. Just kidding.

And I know some people are saying SA's are trolls etc. I used to think exactly the same before, but now I totally disagree. All you need to do is do a little greeting like HI FLOWER/SWEETHEART/PETAL/HONEY (the older female SA's absolutely love it!), smile and flutter your eyelids. If that doesn't work, pout and it's all good. I seem to get it to work for me all the time.

Have a good weekend all. If you get time, say a little prayer for Daddy dearest as he is off to hospital for his 2nd stage of chemo for his cancer. Hope he comes through it OK.

Thanks lush ladies. Enjoy.

Thinking about your Dad...pure pomegranate juice and any kind of ginger (beer, crystallised, jam) helped me with the nausea which follows some chemo. Hope this helps your Dad. X

Sorry, meant to say a HUGE thanks to all the wonderful people on this forum. With glitches and vouchers I have been able to make some fabulous hampers for family members - for my niece (14) I did a box with 3 TS long hair prods, 2 Toni and Guy prods and vidal sassoon brush - minimal cost to me but maximum gratitude from niece. My MIL was pleased but don't think she really got it!:rolleyes: My mum was over the moon and rang me again today to tell me how thoughtful it was - she had a basket with no7 nail buffer kit, no7 nail and cuticle cream, no7 gloves, TS shampoo and conditioner, dove goodies, boots aroma set, Olay hand cream and a small bar of chocolate!

Thanks again all, Happy New Year and bring on the new glitches!:T

Happy new year, all the best for 09!:T

Hi Mimi. Lots of us on here have been/are in Daddy Mimi's club, and know this is difficult time for the family too. Our prayers are with you.:A

PS - If anyone thinks I am off topic, they are wrong. This is not just a list of glitches and bargains, it's a lovely family community.

I go on the Chat Board about once a week, and there are lots of "Over The Garden Wall" posts there, which aren't Boots or shopping related.

But people like Mimi give so much to this board, not just with glitches, but with humour, love and friendship.

And I hope I speak for everyone when I say God Bless Daddy Mimi, and thank God he has a lovely caring son like you.

Well said SandraScarlett!!:T

I need a bit of advice. I had an order arrive today of boring bits, the stuff I really wanted is in the second parcel wherever it may be and included the nappies which I am desperate for now! It left the Crawley depot and has not been seen since, my parcels are not lucky enough to be holidaying in Droitwich...

Anyway, my Dove deo stick has got the bloomin' lid/top missing. Should I take it into a store and have it replaced or should I phone CS?? Also, I ordered a toothpaste which has the wrong picture on dot com and is more expensive than the one I wanted. Annoyingly it is also now a 1/3 off!!:( Do you think I could get the one I wanted originally and get it at the cheaper price? This would now take my order below the threshold for the extra 500points for a £50 spend. Wouldn't be worth it if they took my lovely points away!

TIA

I have just managed to place a .com order for 4 mini S&G clean on me and got 4 gwp!!

Although I didn't get any points for my order, I used a code to get £5 off a £50 shop, so am quite happy!

The rest of my order was Hipp follow on milk (delivery man is going to hate me!) as Boots is the cheapest place to buy it, can't believe it has gone up £1.25 in about 4 months :eek:

Give CS a ring tomorrow. If they have made a mistake they will normally honour extra points.

They may even offer you extra points for mix up too!!
