    Just been to Glasgow Fort quick update for anyone interested......

    No HE reduced left on normal shelves, but plenty pantene sachets(bottom shelf)

    Lots of No7 reduced, essential moisturiser, lots of self tan and sun cream, instant radiance beauty lotion and various other night creams. £4.xx - £7.xx. Located by the tills.

    Summer stock on shelves beach wear etc. Also travel minis, there are pantene minis there (100 pts)

    Managed to get Olay GWP (£0.00) plenty left.
    Reduced olay hand cream down to £3.xx Black box one might have been 7 signs??? Not sure. On Olay shelf.

    Reduced No7 wouldn't go through SS till so SA took me to till to put through went through ok except 250pts (No7) and I didn't notice but not to worry she kindly gave me 4 blinkies for nothing. Said thank you lots and left quickly!

    HTH someone organise a trip!
    WBx;)
  • I nearly forgot :eek: ! When I was at the No 7 counter, I chatted about last week's sale, and how manic it was, and asked how long the Blinkies lasted for (I knew it was till 1st Feb), and the SA said "Well the new ones are out next Wednesday. but you can still use these ones till the following weekend".

    "Oh" said I "well that's good, and are they £5 off the same things as well?". Imagine how my face dropped when she said "They definitely aren't for No 7, the No 7 ones won't be back until about April". :mad:

    I swallowed hard, and asked "What sort of things will they be for then", and she said "I'm not sure, and I don't know how much they'll be for but they won't be for £5".
    :wall:
    :wall:

    I walked away crestfallen, and then asked "Oh and what colour will they be please?" and she said "I think they're a sort of white-ish with blue writing".

    We went outside and I sobbed bitterly.:( :(:( So, if she's right, they could be Winkies, and probably for a measly £2 off haemeroid cream. :mad:

    Pmsl :rotfl:

    For pure comedy value, if nothing else, I personally can't wait to start collecting and using "Winkies" :rotfl:

    LOL sandra, i doubt we'll all be rushing to buy it.

    I best make sure i get enough blinkies tommorrow now to buy enough stuff to last me till april.

    Although i will be lad of the rest its been a busy blinkie month for me.


    Just repeating myself from the last thread - Has anyone been to the metro centre today / yesterday, is there any free GWP still around and what about reduced stuff like HE and No7.
    Also does anyone have any dealings with the dumfries boots, how big is it and is it any good for bargains or is it a small store with not much going on? TIA

  • It's been a whole week since I've been to Boots :eek: But I have had my Baby Girl - 13 days overdue :rolleyes: 9lb 8oz

    Feeling very sore after emergency c section but got 3 or 4 blinkies (Correct / current term?) to use up. Also need nappy sacks and odds and ends.

    Hoping to pop in over the weekend... can I just check that the pantene 100pts offer is still valid on the sachets? And does anyone know of any offers on Mini Mode, specifically the sleepsuits? Bought some beautiful ones in Newborn but they go up to 9lb 9oz and my not so little girl is about to grow out of them after 1 wear :rolleyes:

    TIA

    OK what's a Winkie they aren't listed in the 2nd post?

    Being a beginner is hard work :o

    Hiya,

    Winkies - name for the potential new money off voucher from the till after a certain spend. SandraScarlett nicknames them - we all adopt the name. (thanks SS:D).

    At present it is Blinkie - £5 off RM or No7 on one side and £20 off glasses. When you spend £5.
