    I went to meawhall yesterday evening, and i saw 6 of the olay GWP on the shelf near the olay things. I didnt get one, as a Olay rep was hovering about saying you can only have one of those beauties if you buy some regenerist !...I could not shake her off, so i didnt manage to get one, but if anyone is brave enough, i thought i might as well pass on the info. Hope it helps someone. x

    Hi Everyone,

    Had a great little shop today.
    1 x No.7 Mens Dailey Facial Wash
    4 x Pantene Sachet
    Handed over 250 pts from No7 gift set & 4 x 100 xtra points for Pantene plus £5 Blinkie!
    Was charged £5.36 plus 900 points! :eek: :eek: :eek: I don't know how this happend but was very pleased! plus I got another Blinkie & as I left the shop found another screwed up in a basket! :j :j :j
    Thanks to the OP re:100 xtra points on Pantene :beer:

    Debs x

    It's because the 250 pts vch from the No7 Skincare Collection is going through as 500 points instead :D
    You can't control everything in life....... your hair was put on your head to remind you of that :p

    Proud to be BSC no. 103

    I got one of these today. The Olay rep would have frightened me off too but no-one was there, so picked one up. Felt too scared not to buy any kind of Olay product, so bought some Olay wipes at £2.xx. Went through on SS fine. Was tempted to go and get another but decided not to be greedy and left them for the rest of you (there were about 5 left)!! :D

  • What is "wombling" - do you all have to walk in a funny way, as you go into Boots?

    A few questions perhaps someone can help with
    What is gwp and blinkie
    Should i put all items i am interested in purchasing in my basket now?
    Thanks

    a blinkie is a voucher (£5 off R&M/No7) you get when you spend £5 - or less if using SS tills. Lovely SA save me 2 yesterday and I only spent £5 he said the last customer didn't want there's. He said I could have it if I'd use it. Use it? of course I'll use it said I:D

    The GWP (gift with purchase) is a purple box with a silver ribbon around it. It scans for free as the offer has ended.

    BTW, I've found another GWP that scans for free (I'm on a roll now:rotfl: )the l'oreal one. OOh, it's lovely. I got one yesterday. As soon as DD saw it she said "I need that lip gloss" I will have to go back for 1 more:rolleyes:

    Got hold of some pantene sachets - at last, to boost my points balance for the 75% off sale.
