BTW rang .com and I was advised the 75% sale will be due back on .com once the technical issues r resolved but no dates given...
Welcome to the end of sanity as you know it :rotfl:
Soon you'll be babbling along with the rest of us about blinkies, pinkies, pouting and worse! :j
This is the best group of people on MSE though so you chose well.0 -
Trafford Centre have done that too. It's the first time I've tried to get one and I bought some tissues, Olay wipes and a bath mat to diguise purchase, saying that I was buying for a friend who had said it came free w the wipes. SA went to look and found one w bar code (it's not underneath the box, though it looks as if it has been removed from there, but is on a label attached near the lid of the box) and it worked a treat. She was v impressed and showed me what was inside and I said I thought I'd get one for myself so went off to get wipes and another gwp and she just scanned the label I had. Am going to keep label in handbag! Btw -- sorry OT -- does the £5 moc (found inside gwp) work in Tesco?
No, I don't think this works in Tescos. I tried the other day but the SA said it was for Boots...pretty sure she tried it and it beeped. Another problem is that Tesco have to stock a product for you to use a MOC in their store and the one that i was at didn;t have any olay definity let alone the eye stuff. worth a try though...let me know if you have any more success. think these are currently £5 off in Boots though so with the voucher as well you could get the eye stuff for £14.99...still too much methinks.

Already got one! I have thought about £90 worth of meal deals, but I don't think I would be able to eat them all before the best before date. Oooops. LOL.
No don't do that! lol. You should buy a camera and sell it on ebay or something and get cash for it and go and treat yourself at another store??Mummy to a beautiful 4 month old princess! x0 -

I'll have a closer look next time and see if I can find one with a bar code. I didn't think to look before as I was in a hurry (I'd left a friend guarding my sale shopping basket and had to get to work soon). It looked so lovely that I thought sneaking it through with my big sales shop would work.There's a skinny woman inside me screaming to be let out. A cookie soon shuts her up!!! :rotfl:0 -
ooo having a little bit of a panic now - I placed my order at 3.06am (which went through without any hitches) and it has been stuck on processing since about 10am yesterday morning.

I'm having similar worries! but i did order some bulky items, a couple of swap top toys and the smart cycle (bought before i realised the price had stayed at 50% grrrr) - so i'm assuming that it will take longer for them to put my order together because of all the bulky stuff0 -

Hellooooooo!
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you x a million!!
That is it, it was the pink one that I wanted! :T :j
You've made my day! Thanks so much for taking the time to find it, I was just about to resort to buying it on amazon. There was 2 left in my local Boots but I decided to wait till the 75% off to buy one but a lady got in tens mins before me and grabbed them both
Hopefully now i'll be able to get one from .com thanks to you!
Thanks again, if I could I would give you a zillion boots points, hehe! xx0 -
Can anyone tell me where the n07 electical items are usually found in stores? I just had a look online and fancy the heated eyelash curlers with one of my blinkies. I did have a quick look in the London Colney store today with the normal nail files and eyelash curlers etc but they weren't there.There's a skinny woman inside me screaming to be let out.
