    hi all

    have been reacquainting myself with this thread over the past few days used to be a keen bootser when DS1 was a baby - in the days of the glitch with the 'little me' products - anyone else remember that one !!!!

    so DS2 is just 8 weeks old and every time i feed him i am trying to catch up - though am obviusly not doing very well as today i bought something in boots for £4.20 and didn't think to round it up to get the voucher (a blinkie ????)

    can i just ask though which are the number 7 sets that hve the extra points vouchers in and how can you make these work in your favour?

    so as a new mum (again) i will kepp checking the website through the night when i am feeding and if anything exciting happens will post straight away - look forward to joining the community again :T

    Do you think maybe things keep getting removed from our baskets as some people are entering the 99 amount for their orders?

    I don't think so, unless they are checking out and paying for 99 of the items. I could be wrong though:D

    Update - I had something in my virtual basket that siad there were 12 available. I have just gone back in and now there are only 10 available so I don't think people having lots of each item means that no-one else can put them in their basket.

    I have just been messing with .com, and tried to add 99 of everything on my basket, it told me which items were running low on stock... ie... only 62 left etc etc.... and in the end, i had 1128 products in my basket and the total price came up as £166!!!:eek: :eek: :eek: I couldnt believe my eyes, so, altered one of the 99 totals to 50 to see if it would bring the price down lower, and it bumped it right up to over £80000, so, maybe this has happened to others and they have actually checked out.... I doube Mr B would have honoured my 1128 items for £166 though.
    Any one else had this happen?
    It`s nice to be important, but its more important to be nice.
    The world is full of people throwing stones at us. Its what you do with them that counts. Build a wall or build a bridge.

    The young lad is my favourite SA:D he wasn't there when I went in last week:rolleyes: He is brill isn't he? He will try any vouchers you hand over:)

    Not been in our local since last week. Might pop in there tomorrow to check out the sale stock levels upstairs;)

    Hi

    Yes, he is great and friendly too - wished me a good evening.

    I went in this afternoon had quite a few gifts:

    No S&G (not surprising)
    Some Sanctuary
    No7 - White Bag, Purse set, mini eye collection., overnight bag (downstairs)
    R&M - Red case + other R&M gifts
    Elle sets. + lots more gifts.

    My 250 point voucher didn't scan though - I think its the one from the gold bag - is this one not scanning???

    Off topic - If anyone is looking for Sanctuary gifts their website has half price Xmas gifts including Skin Quencing collection - I think someone mentioned this the other day.

    The happened to me as well, I had 400 items in my basket and it said the total was £117.

    I logged out and logged back in again and it went up to around £6000. I have no idea if Boots would honour the really low price, I doubt it though.

    Just got in, and had to have a few coffees to revive me! Brilliant day though.....................................
    There were Blinkies left all over the place, so we wombled away! They had loads of No 7 stuff that you can get for no/little outlay, as per the list, by Sophisticated

    Then mosied along to the Olay aisle that was groaning with purple boxes, but also an Olay rep, who rubbed various lotions onto our hands, and then produced some cream that was about £20 and said if we bought that we'd get the GWP too. I told her I needed the wipes as well, and got these and 3 Pantene sachets.

    Then we went back to the ground floor, put the £20 boxes on a handy stool, went to the till, and presented the sachets, then the wipes, then the GWP.

    The thought of it. SandraScarlet womble-ing around boots, list in hand, dodging the Olay reps....thankgoodness for the handy stool you found to put those heavy Olay creams on!! Sounds hilarious.:rotfl:

    Hi SPL :wave: Welcome back after your new little one :T :T

    Here is a link to a post with a list of items that have points vouchers in, it's not complete. These seem to contain the 'magic' 250 pt vouchers that when used with New No 7 items will give you 500pts The barcode ends in 176 (Reduced items will only give 250 pts and may bleep)

    Good luck and happy bargain hunting. x
