Thanks adulong. I 'killed' 2 SS tills today trying to scan my vouchers:eek: :eek: I walked away from the 1st while it was shouting for help, (No-one came) and went to another one and then did the same thing again:o

Are you scanning the vouchers after the blinkie and after you click finish and pay? Because i was trying to scan them straight after scanning blinkie but it kept bleeping and saying something along the lines set vouchers aside until you have finished transaction but after i clicked finish and pay it accepted it fine. HTH you

Thanks very much princesswoo. Time to get assertive methinks!

Each different SA today was adamant and they did try and scan them first but said they weren't valid (or variations of this) because they couldn't be used with any other offer..i.e the £5 off. Once they even called a supervisor over and she agreed. That was in two separate stores. Think I just must look a soft touch, confused and disorganised scrambling for my vouchers! Next time though I will be way more assertive and less accepting as I now know they can go through!

Brilliant on the blinkies too, insist on one if I spend over £5 after my reduction whether I have already redemmed one or not. Fab.

Thanks so much!

If I am unsure as to how willing the assistant will be to scan the coupons, I always give them the extra points coupon first,
this will scan ok, then hand over the No7 £5 off blinkey/ or other promo/ money off coupon.

Have done this many times and it seems to work well.

There was a young and pretty girl - her name? Sophisticated
She tried to do her best, but her revision was belated

Each time she tried to beat this task, she found her mind a-wandering
Cos all the time she dreamt of Boots, and the money she'd be squandering!

But our scholar wasn't selfish, and her efforts were not wasted
She found the Pinkie glitches, which she copied first, then pasted

She listed all the bargains, then her list was finely honed
With varnishes and items to leave faces freshly toned

She worked upon this list, till it was finally updated
Oh what a caring person was that sweet Sophisticated

Then she glanced upon her text books and made a great decision
"I've got to stop my Bootsing, and start on my revision"!

So thanks Sophisticated for the efforts you have made
Cos once we use our Blinkies, little money will be paid

You know your list is well received, you have our adoration
But sweetheart, we'll cheer louder when you pass your examination!!

:j :j :j :j :j

(sometimes, I amaze myself! - Night night!)

Excellent Sandra how do you do it.

For those that already stocked up on the no7 polish, they do last a fair amount of time on toenails! I usually just do my toes because polish not only chips quickly on my fingers, but using it (or the remover) makes my nails split and get icky -- but it's fine on my toes, lol!

Someone mentoned earlier that they saw some of the varnishes seperating :eek: how can you tell if this is happening before you buy?

Thankyou very much :T

Now you will be able to go back to enjoying all that revision. :rotfl:

Virtually - I always hand over the points voucher 1st, then i hand over the £5 off then they cant argue with me.

My nail varnish is brand new i only opened it today, and only bought it 3 weeks ago and it was a 'new' shade so hasnt been in the shops long.

I think im gonna do one hand and go in and show them that it peels of and i want my money back.

I have another one in a very similar colour that is on my toes and thats still there weeks later no chips or anything. very weird.

I wouldnt mind if it just chipped but i put my dressing gown on, pulled my arms through looked at my hands and the nail varnish was half peeled off, it was dry as i sat for the 30 mins watching eastenders to double make sure it was dry.

Also does bio-oil really work, i had my boobs done 8 months ago and the scars are still really dark and visible and not showing any signs of fading on there own, but bio oil seems really expensive, do No7 do anything similar so i can use a blinkie?

Try the Boots Expert Scar Serum. It really is excellent, I have been using it since it was introduced.

I don't think it is available on line. It costs anywhere between £3.99 and £5.99 depending on the offer. Usually £3.99 when there is an AC vocuher for expert around. It's done wonders for my scar, which is keloid. It's non greasy, and is very easily asorbed.

You will find it with the expert skincare range, near the Bio Oil.

A blinkie is my name for the new voucher, which is for £5, like the old pinkie, but is blue. We've had 2 blue vouchers recently, which we called a bluey, and I called the next one a bluey two-ey.

We're all mad on here, and I feel stupidly excited that so many people have adopted my name for the voucher, and keep rushing in to my DH saying "They're using my name for the voucher!!". :j :j He, of course, is fast asleep, snoring and f*rting in the chair. Nobody told me it was going to be like this, back in 1966 ...............

Power to the over 60's Sandra, I came up with name Pinky :j :j

Remember that you can search for stuff at .com, e.g. 'Ruby and Millie' then sort it by price

Bio oil is fab, plus smells great too! But if you look at alternative stretch mark creams they contain more or less the same ingredients as the scar reduction creams really. So look for an oil that contains vitamin e and if possible aloe vera too. Boots expert stretch mark oil or little me organics(200pts on £10 baby spend) mummylicious stretch mark oil are good alternatives. All the other ingrdients in bio oil are great but it is the vit e which helps create new growth etc aswell as making the skin softer.

My mum got dermatix on prescription and it normally retails for just under £90 for the 60g size, that is amazing stuff, I nicked one of her tubes and an old scar of mine dissapeared in 6 months! Suppose you could see if your doc will prescribe? Depends on how nice they are! I hear of people having docs being stingy with prescriptions...mine even puts paracetamol on my prescriptions lol

ETA: I can't even have paracetamol...think he just adds it to everyones lol
