    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 :D

    No I went to finish and pay and then clicked the coupon button. They wont let you scan the vouchers now until that is pressed. I used to just scan the vouchers straight after my goods, but that doesn't work now.

    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 :o:o

    I did the same in Brent Cross. Ist time I have used an ss till, too. The very stern SA who was overseeing them was not impressed and was not giving out blinkeys either, so people had to ask for them, or leave none the wiser. :(
    I did ask for mine though, then went to the photo counter to pay for my other items, where the SA was very nice. :)

    Oh, i'm confused then as on the SS tills i've used you dont have to press a coupon button :confused: i didn't even know there was one as i've always scanned vouchers after pressing finish and pay, it always accepts them and prompts the machine to shout (rather loudly) "Please deposit coupons"......twice in the case of me scanning the No7 points vouchers :o

    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!)

    Move over Pam Ayres here comes Sandra Scarlet. :rotfl:
  • Thank you very much for that poem (or song?!) Sandra, glad to help :) Ironically one of the things I need to be revising is poetry! So hopefully I'll be able to stay off here until my last exam...the 14th ;)
  • does anyone know when the sale items will be reduced further?
    had a quick glance over the thread but hadn't seen it mentioned!

    Do you think Bio Oil or any other variety would work on a 4 month old scar?? (I mean my c-section scar so it's quite big)

    Absolutely brilliant Sandra Scarlett...were you an English teacher? I'm now trying to think of what I can do to have the honour of having a poem written about me lol. :rotfl:

    Ours used to be like that but have changed recently. After finish and pay, I now have to click the coupon button, each time I want to scan one. Its much more messing than before, and results in them breaking down more. It worked much better before:rolleyes: Even the SA's are fed up with them going wrong all the time
