    Can the blue £5 off R&M voucher be used on these as easily embarrassed if refused. Will they give you the 3 4 2 just looking at small print?
    TIA

    I have used the new blue £5 off No7 / Ruby & Millie (blinkie!!) today "several" times!!

    It worked fine on Mens / womens / reduced items/ 342 combinations.;)

    The "magic" 250 pts coupon is only worth using on full priced items - and you will get 500 points!

    If you try it on reduced items it bleeps - and IF you get a SA kind enough to add them on manually - you will ONLY get the 250 points!!!

    My S&G GWP's arrived today a day early, the cheeky delivery man let himself into my flat walked up the stairs, which are inside my flat as im on the 1st floor and main door is on ground level and put the parcel over the baby gate which is at the top of the stairs. I was not impressed. Especially as my bathroom is right at the top of the stairs and i usually dont close the door when using it.

    I shall be ringing CS to complain tommorrow.

    I am almost out of men's No7 250pts vouchers i have 1 left, there are loads of the OLD GWP left in my store, should i use a blinke and pay £1.36 and the 250 pts to get 1, gaining another 250pts voucher to get a full size bottle with using another blinkie, therefore gaining 500 points on a £2.64 spend. Makes sense to me, as they dont seem to scan free anymore. I would top the spend's up tp £5 with herbal essences as they also have the same 100pts per bottle on them.

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

    2 x SMA progress £14.44
    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

    use blinkie, 250pts 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.

    Which still leaves me with 7 blinkies, i wil see what bargains i can get for little or very minimum spend.

    I used my magic No7 points voucher when getting 3 x reduced nail varnishes leaving £4 to pay as 342 then used blinkie so nothing to pay! So it worked on reduced for me:confused: ( this was monday though!) Also another combo of reduced stuff which came to £5 used same vouchers and again 500points and nothing to pay
    This is a do-it-yourself test for paranoia: you know you've got it when you can't think of anything that's your fault.

    did the sa have to manually enter the points as they keep beeping with me!

    She did on one the transactions, so I only got the 250 points, but on the next transaction it went through fine and I got 500 points from the voucher:confused: . The only difference with the 2nd transaction was that I put 4 sachets of pantene through to get another blinkey, so spent £6 odd and got 900 points.

    Eek! Ive just opened my minerals blusher that I bought last night and the box has only got the brush in, no blusher! :eek: Tbh I didnt even realise you got the brush included, I just picked the box up and because it had some weight to it didnt even think to open it and look. Do you think they'll believe me if I go back to ask for my blusher? I have still got the receipt for it. TIA

    :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: That's awful - I hope that CS are appropriately apologetic and promise to sort it out - worth a lot of points as compensation I would say!

    Off to Boots tomorrow - does anyone know where in Straiton (Edinburgh) Boots have any reduced stuff - I've never found any(apart from the standard 50% sale stuff)!:rolleyes:

    Just a quick Q about the estee lauder miniature, it doesnt state on the coupon any T&C's ie - 1 per customer, 1 per transaction etc, so if i took in 2, 1 for me and 1 for my mum would they have to give me 2 as i have printed off 2 vouchers? Save both me and my mum making a 40 mile round trip each.

    Seems a bit odd for Boots to leave themselves so open like this.

    Do N07 or any other brand at Boots sell black or deep purple nail varnish?

    Or can anyone reccommend a brand?
