  • PRINCESSWOO - if you wanted more blinkies could you not break down your first shop a bit more but not miss out on the points too much? I think you would lose the 200 for not spending over £25 but you would gain more in blinkies if they were more important to you?

    I don't really know though - am still trying to get my head around most of it!:rolleyes:
  • hi guys.....

    just a quick question, you know the no7 250points vouchers that are in the gift sets when do they expire??

  • Forgot to add lovely sas said that they were waiting for 75% sale too, said it was probably next week.
    You laugh because I'm different......I laugh cause I just farted!

    Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt. (A.C)

    Hi JoJoB
    Yes you need to spend £45 cash to get free delivery, you can't spend your points on .com unfortunately :(

    Agh! The last hour filling my basket has been somewhat wasted then lol. :D

    Thanks for the headsup!

    Also can you ladies look at my list and tell me if its ok.

    2 x SMA progress £14.44 (+ 2 x 250ml ready mix free, 1 per tin bought)
    2 x niquitin cq patches £13.26
    Mens' No7 bodywash £1.36
    Herbal essences / Pantenne £1.75
    Herbal Essences / Pantenne £1.75

    Total to pay £29.08 - 1250pts

    Use - Blinkie, £2.50 off healthcare, 200pts WYS £25, double points coupon, 200 WYB No7 mailing, 200 WYB No7 skincare, 200pts, Herbal essences / pantenne, 250pts Men's No7 voucher)

    Will they let me use that many vouchers in one go?

    No7 minerals blusher + GWP £8.70
    Herbal essences / Pantenne £1.75

    Total £5.45 - 350pts (600pts if my voucher is magic)

    use blinkie, 250/500pts WYB No7, 100pts on pantenne

    I am gonna push my luck again with this one:

    R&M eye smudge x 2 £8.80
    Herbal essences / Pantenne £1.75

    Total to pay £5.55 - 350pts (or 1100pts sa dependant)

    Use - blinkie, 250 from R&M OOTW, 100pts WYB HE, and if the 750 points WYB 2 R&M dont go on automatically again i will smile sweetly and say 'oh but theres an offer of 750pts WYB 2, so i shall have to choose SA very carefully)

    Total spend £39.62 - 2000 or 2750pts - £28.28 saved, 3 more blinkies earnt. Will also try and squeeze in any of the free GWP if i find any.

    Im following sndra-scarletts adventures and making a day out of my trip to boots, greatfully helped by the 50% of pizzahut voucher and a few others i have that are local to me.

    It seems i have an addictive personality, i have quit the addiction to ciggies and replaced it with an addiction to bootsing.

    I have given up on the 75% off sale, i have more than enough blinkies to buy me more than enough goodies to last me a fair while.

    I could not see this advertised anywhere only 500points wyb Urban Decay is it advertised anywhere else do you know?

    Following on from the question about Pantene minis, I haven't seen any anywhere yet. Does anyone know if these are available regularly in different stores? It is just I have never seen them before. If so I shall get searching!

    Thanks very much

  • I can not see it anywhere either...and asked an SA about it and she looked at me like i was MAD! She then checked the till screen and said there is only 500 pts when you buy 2 R&M, although not advertised on the stand....
