Hi
You won't be able to place an order until the website shows the 75% off sale and nobody knows when that will be!!!

Hi all just to say that if the T&G 2 4 £7 thingies are .com only then you wont be able to use any ACM points vouchers HTH

Went into Canterbury city centre store first thing yesterday morning and it was already quite busy. In fact, it was a lot of the staff who were selecting things to buy. Lots and lots of bare shelves now. No toys left. By the time I went back about 9am, there was only Royal Jelly stuff (obviously doesn't sell well), and wrapping stuff.

However, there is still quite a lot of reduced No 7 stuff left to use with your blinkies. One stand by the actual No 7 counter by the door, and another by the tills. You can still get lots of stuff for free with blinkies. Noticed a lot of people don't separate their sales purchases to get the most out of this deal. Probably down to the frsoty look given by one of the SAs who huffed and puffed when I put through the items in smaller batches to get the blinkies. I really didn't see the problem as I am still spending money/points and there wasn't a long queue behind me, plus she has to serve the coustomers whilst on her shift anyway, whether it is me or someone else. As I was afraid that the reduced No 7 stuff would disappear, went back to get them immdiately. Came away with about 7 or 8 free pots of different moisturisers and creams.

Would have used a SS till to avoid icy glare of certain SA, but when I did that the other day, had to get a SA to keep giving me the blinkies. Oh yes, that made her angry as well, when I had to remind her after each 5 pound something shop, that I would like a blinky. Despite my hormonal condition (am pregnant), managed to remain cheerful (thinking about money saved).

My DH brought me some P&P hand cream as part of my birthday pressies(after major hints and i even put the 250 points voucher and blinkie in his wallet too!)

At the till he asked SA if he could use his Blinkie :eek: SA just looked at him as if he had lost it:rotfl: so after some embarrassing confusion & trying to explain he took his blinkie out to show her what he meant

He genuinely thought that is what they are called as i keep showing him what i brought and how much i has saved with my blinkies etc. He didnt know its just what MSE'rs call it :rotfl: Wish i had been there bless him.

Classic.."and can I use my blinkey on that item?", imagine the look of dismay on the poor SA's face
.....men...:rolleyes: ......thats why we love them!
(at least he got the P&P right though, so now you can have lovely soft hands!:)

Funny how it coincides with the new blinkies...This means the night cream is now £20.50 - but I bet you, when the next GWP rolls around, it will be on a minimum spend of £21 or £22, so I can't get one with just the night cream :rolleyes: If it wasn't for the fact that I really like the day and night creams and serums, I would buy something else.

Has anyone else noticed price increases on NO7?
I noticed that in the Brent Cross boots store, all of the No7 items were between £1 and 50p more per item than in other boots stores and wondered why. Maybe the whole range is about to have price increases, either that or the Brent Cross branch is very greedy.

Just got back from boots and theres still alot left in Camberley store and they were filling up shelves with stuff from out the back too, though most of the time as soon as they were putting it out it was flying straight off their trolley/shelf!
Loads of the £18 sanctuary kyphi(sp) set, the mande lular £20 set, some natural collection stuff, loads of mens stuff, botanics set in a wooden tray, some ruby and millie and lots more!
