    If at 9.30am you hear a faint cry and a small shaking of the ground, dont panic it will be me, stamping my feet and begging the SA's to scan my vouchers or add them manually, I have a feeling i will be doing a lot of ''just try it please'' tommorrow and ''oh it doesnt work, well cancel that then and walking away.''

    Im begginning to wonder if its a good idea to go bootsing on day 1 of quitting the cigs.

    Ohhh i love a good challenge.

    does anyone know of any printable vouchers or easily available-to-get vouchers for huggies nappies that will go through with the bogof newborn starter kits at £5?? I have tried the one out of the baby magazine that you can get in store and it beeped :(

    Out of my 4 siblings, THREE of them are all having babies between march and june so going to get stocked up!!!

    If you look on page 1 of this thread there is a code for huggies newborn nappies, im not sure if its still working but you not gonna loose anything giving it a go. I got each packs of newborn nappies for £1 each i bought 24 packs 12 for my SIL and 12 to the hospital. If its not working now, keep trying it every now and then as sometimes it works and other times it doesnt.

    Other than that join the huggies site and all the other baby sites and try and get as many coupons as you can from now till them, get everyone you know to sign up and give you the vouchers.

    Also i found both huggies and pampers wipes to irratate my kids bum's and are quite thick, i now swear by boots own brand wipes and there 3 for £3 plus you get double points on boots own brand stuff if your signed up to the boots parenting club.

    Good luck with the expected arrivals.

    No don't bin them. Just pick a friendly looking SA. They should work, its boots fault that they don't.
    If they are in date, then they should take them. I used one for the No7 mens shave gel, the till did not like it, but I did get the points.

    They better work cos i have 2 of the men's GWP vouchers, but if they dont i wont be losing anything now that the other vouchers give 500 points.

    Lets hope you find a helpful, friendly SA then. Good luck with becoming a non smoker too. My OH gave up years ago, kept telling himself " I am a non smoker"' through gritted teeth. The first three days were the hardest, detoxing, etc, then it was more mind over matter. If you really want something bad enough, you can do it. Good luck!:)

    WOW thanks so much for all the advice thats great!!
    I will try the online glitch-i think i remember last time around when it was available. And i'm going to the huggies and pampers sites now to sign up!

    I hope I can give you a little chuckle in return for the brill advice: Two of them have had a child before, but my brother-bless him- is having his first and he is really keen to earn everything about the baby before he comes in march. We were talking about nappies and how many to take to the hospital and he thought you only had to take ONE nappy with you!!!! just ONE!
    he said 'well thats all he will need in the hospital isn't it?!?'

    he got a bit of a shock when we suggested taking a whole carry pack and was even more shocked when he learned that the baby would need his nappy changing SEVERAL times a day!!!

    sorry for the chat and long post-just thought that at this late hour everyone could do with a chuckle at the expense of a first-time father!!

    Thank you again PrincessWoo x

    The £5 off no7/ R&M will work. Not sure about the instore points though. I have a 500 points and a 250 points WYB any R&M, they say valid on any items, no mention of reduced/ or full price.

    Hello

    I'm quite new to this thread, so apologies in advance for the questions. I have read most of the posts on the last 80 pages, but i'm still a bit confused. :o

    If I pay with points will I still get the 'bluey' voucher?

    If I use a No 7 250 point voucher (which hopefully will come up at 500 points) will I still get a bluey?

    My Boots has a self-service till, is there any glitches around that will work better for me if I use that?

    TIA
