I'll keep checking, too - it's become a bit of a Holy Grail for me. Why oh why didn't I buy it from the Harrods sale when I saw it..... 20:20 hindsight, it's a killer....

If it helps my order from Harrods for Daisy was cancelled only received the prada and had to pay £4.95 P+P on it, didn't really want it either.

Yesterday Boots were reducing all their No7 Sun products by 75% got 6 for free (1.20 each and 3 for 2 so 6 were £4.80) and second lot of 6 for 64p (1.41 each and 3 for 2) as I used a blinkie and got 250 with voucher, other voucher that normally scans and gives you 500 points didn't work on either shop, was it because it was sun products and not colour cosmetics, does it still work?

Hi Classy Chick, did the 500 points vouocher bleep? I have one but not sure what I can use it on! Thanks.

Yeah, it did bleep, but the SA put the points on manually.

Hi,
Three of the things that were in my basket have now gone out of stock, Botanics box of treats, Botanics foot and hand set, and just now Soap and Glory Glove story massage kit when from 99 in stock yesterday - 65 - 39- 12 and about five minutes ago went down to 2...so I bought one. I think that this might happen to alot of other products that we're hoping to get, by the time the 75%sale comes the things we really want might be out of stock so its worth checking the stock levels if you really want something and if it gets too low check out

WAS TALKING WITH ONE OF MY FAV SALES LADIES TODAY and she was playing round with my vouchers lol, the one that ends 3176 beeps if put through with a reduced item, stickered or sel, but worked no problems on a full priced liquid liner or wipes hope that helps, becuase if you are buying a cheaper reduced item they do not have to put the points on as it does say so on the voucher . hth!

afternoon bootsers:) I am trying to get hold of some of the glitter babes party bags that some people have seen reduced to £1.10 - these are still £4.40 in my local so not even half price (original price was £6.00 then they went down to £4.40 befpre Christmas) - has anyone seen any around Coventry or in central London at all? I am after 3 all together for dd's friends. thanks for any help xxx

I'm just back from my first major bootsing trip - omg I could have gone round and round for more and more :j !

I went to the Nottingham vic centre store - loads of gift sets left, no hair sets that I could see though, but lots of St Tropez, No 7 big colour boxes, accessories, fragrance minis (his and hers) etc etc. More clearance on toys upstairs too.
A shedload of the MF GWP all over the MF stand - and it does scan at £0.00 . A few of the L'Oreal GWP in the skincare aisle, these were on a podium that looked like it should have been manned by a SA - but there was no-one there, and again, this scans at £0.00 . No Olay GWP, and I forgot to look for the Rimmel one. The No7 GWP when you buy minerals was there in abundance, but I didn't buy any minerals.

I did 5 shops, 3 of them on self scan.

Shop 1
No7 Hydroquench day cream - clearance £7.71
No7 Shimmering lip & eye - clearance 2.82
No 7 Shimmering lip & eye - £0.00 (342)
Total £10.53, paid with a blinkie, so £5.53 left to pay = 20 points and another blinkie

Shop 2
Imperial Leather bath foam half price £0.73
Diet Coke 2 for £1.50
L'Oreal wipes 50p off £2.34
Miko Lip Shimmer on clearance £0.37 (pressie for daughter for putting up with my bootsing)
Miko Emery Board on clearance £0.13
L'Oreal GWP £0.00
Total £5.07, 20 points and another blinkie earned, and free L'Oreal GWP.

Shop 3
Herbal Essence 200mls conditioner x 3 £5.28
MF GWP £0.00
Total £5.28, 300 points and another blinkie earned, and free MF GWP.

Shop 4
Herbal Essence 200mls conditioner x 3 £5.28
L'Oreal GWP £0.00
Total £5.28, 300 points and another blinkie earned, and free L'Oreal GWP.

Shop 5
No7 Essential Day Cream on clearance £5.63
Paid with a blinkie, so got the day cream for 63p :T .

I still have 4 blinkies to use, and the Vic centre store has loads of clearance/last chance to buy No7. I didn't see any hair spritz, but I didn't look in the haircare aisle - d'oh!

The MF GWP is really great - I only picked one up because it scans at £0.00, but it contains so much make-up its a crime really not to try for one. It also contains a voucher for 300 points on your AC if you buy any MF foundation. Its valid until 31/01/2009, and I know I won't use it, so if anyone can make use of it, just let me know by pm and I'll send it on.

Phew, now I've got all that excitement off my chest, I'll away and read the posts here that I've missed since last night!

I think I've worked out a way of getting out of stock items that are no longer listed on .com into your faves, in the hope that they come back into stock - I've just done this with the FCUK bag, mediterranean amazon bag, S+G glam slam, S+G hands up
go to google
type in the search bar; boots then the exact product name of the item you want
eg;
boots fcuk pure and polished overnight
in the list of google results find the boots one, then click on the 'cached' button, it will take you to the google cached page, click on 'save to favourites'. If you are not logged in to boots you will then go to the boots login page (if you are already logged in you will get a blank page), then it should be in your faves, ready for when/if it comes back into stock.
I've tried it on a few items and it seems to work, but you do need to have the exact product name. Of course, they may never come back into stock, but it's one step closer!

edit; just managed to get the p+p skin and body collection (white case) into my basket
edit; S+G make it big 10 in stock!
edit - this is worth trying, I'm finding stuff that is no longer listed on .com but is actually in stock and can add to my basket!

Seen that some lucky peeps have managed to get these half price and on 3 4 2 if any bootsers happen to stumble across one (or more of these) I'd be ever so grateful if you could pick it/them up for me as i've searched in all the boots near me and cannot find it :rolleyes: its being discontinued and is one of my favs and i've tried its replacement (new one with brush aplicator and dont like it) i'd be more than happy to cover the cost and postage with blinkies and/or cash. Hope nobody thinks that i'm being too cheeky

TIA

I saw loads of these today in my Boots - on the last chance to buy stand, and on 342 as well. Do you want 3 if I can get them? Just let me know.

yes hun, it scans at 0.00:D

hi all, have i understood this correctly that the you are able to get the l'oreal gwp without actually purchasing a l'oreal item? - does this seem to be the case in all stores? i'm surprised the sa doesn't pick up on it?
