Is it at the Glitter Pot Paddy? If so, type in the products you havein your basket into the search and see if they say "out of stock". If so, remove them from your basket and try to checkout.

It happened to me earlier.. But I definitely was NOT buying stamps..

I was havin a Paddy :rotfl:.
No its not glitter pot its first stop stationers - they are really cheap for papermania papers and I don't mind cutting those ones up . Truprint order is on its way so will have some photos to play with soon.

I may have a few stamps - every time I go to Harrogate or Doncaster shows I say no more but I always end up with a couple - lol

This is funny cause I'm recycling a couple of phones and an ink cartridge this week with Boots! Hope their sale starts tomorrow, as I'm planning to go straight to Brighton after work!

I got some more stash through today-a whole loads from craftwork cards (2 pizza boxes) and some Glitter Pot stuff (they got back in stock with the Hero Arts stamps I wanted)... got some more due tomorrow!

maybe we'd better introduce a new bit to the thread money neutral for any occasion christmas and crafting - think that might be one step too far :rotfl:.

i dread to think how much my stuff has cost and there's always something new out - at least you use more on a scrapbook page than on a tiny card OH doesn't bat an eyelid which just makes me feel more guilty

Has everyone gone to Boots? Thanks for the heads up Jammy - I just got one gift but it was a botanics set reduced from 16.00 down to 3.91 and I used my points so I am neutral on that one. The other thing I wanted they were sold out of.

My daughter put a lolly in my pocket while we were in there and I didn't realise til she started eating it in the car on the way home - felt so guilty, gonna put 25p in an envelope and pop it in tomorrow as I'm going to go to town to trade in a game I got for christmas at Game. He said they'd give me £20 for it which I will get a gift card with for my FIL's birthday in February. So neutral there too - doing really well so far.

Got some 10p superdrug bargains the other day for a friends bday in april and my dad gave me 2 boxes full of cd's and dvd's to flog - either car boot or ebay.

Lost 3 and a 1/2 pounds at weight watchers last night so I'm on track there.

Just gotta get house show home like so I can reduce our price again and hopefully get this place sold.

I like 2009....

Will get £25 for 2 old phones we have...yippee - more in the pot.

Well done scattymam1

I can't get to Boots until Friday so will have all sold by then I expect - have been saving vouchers and points but fingers crossed I strike it lucky.

Good luck with weightwatchers I lost 2 stone with them 7 years ago and have kept most of it off - I loved that I could have a mars bar without feeling guilty .

Who was it that was after coke points? - I have some here and will pm the code if you give me a shout.

I went to our 'little' Boots this morning.

Not much there at all But i did get Hacket Travel gift set, reduced from £22 to £5.38 For my dad ( Fathers Day) . Also bought a Funky Fondue set, reduced from £12 to £2.93 thats for my friends son whos birthday is in April. I used my Boots points so didnt really cost anything Does that make them money neutral ? I think it does . I still have 2375 points left on my card.
