This post has got me giggling again, not at u mind, Basically i asked my hubby to print of some s&g vouchers, 3 to be precise at work cause printer was not working at home. So lovely hubby did so and left them in kitchen while i was having a nap. Came downstairs and could clearly read the t&c on them, because he had left the printer on default setting and had printed out each voucher blown up to fit an A4 piece of paper:rotfl:. Its gonna put a smile on the Sa faces when i try to use them tomorrow, i am sure they will think im taking the Mikel!:D I was in complete fits, cause to make it worse he has kindly printed them out double sided (to save paper:rotfl:) and printed out at least 10!!
I was laughing that much i nearly had an accident:o. God, i love him!

On topic got 3 olay total effects gradual face tanner thing for £5.50 so 50p each with wrinklies, woohoo!

Ps im actually looking to using my A4 size vouchers, gonna be a real comedy moment, laughing just thinking about it.

I have just spilt my cuppa laughing hysterically thanks x :rotfl: :rotfl:

Sorry if someone has already mentioned this as I am only now catching up but if they are really going to be sorted by next week I think it will break the glitch as till will point blank refuse to let the minis go through (I might be completely wrong...I hope so cos I'll be on the SS tills for half the day doing this if they let me ha ha!) so might be best to try and stock up this week instead. I managed to get some today, SA overrode the till each time, receipts don't mention the voucher just say the product and then pricce 20p so they are obviousyl all doing it different ways. Good luck one and all.

The vouchers expire on Saturday, 21st February, so that only leaves 8 Bootsing days anyway!!!!

Oh my goodness I'd love that to be in a store ANYWHER near me - would be a real treat and a mega bargain after what has turned into an awful day here - my nana has passed away! She was nearly 95yrs old so a good long life but still incredibly sad - she'd be even sadder that I am nowhere near Newcastle to go and bag that bargain on her behalf mind you! bless my nana!

Sorry to hear about your Nana Popkins. x

My DS2 uses a bottle in about 1½ weeks .. he has been known to use a bottle in 3 days flat lol I am sure he must of been cleaning the sink to use it that quick lol :rotfl:

Regarding the Kandoo...I loved this stuff even before I became a Mummy, but used to wonder why when my nieces and nephews came over to visit they eahc wanted to go to the toilet about 3 times and it was just to use this!!!

Um, actually, probably because they recognise that what is happening is against the spirit of what Soap and Glory are offering, and that whilst some customers think they are very clever and entitled to take advantage of high street stores, eventually some one has to pay (see Woolworths, for example), and in the long run they can see that the organisation they work for, have loyalty towards and keeps a roof over their heads, is being taken advantage of.

I know this will be an unpopular view, and that SS is revered as a god-like figure here, and that I am probably making myself 'persona non gratis' on this forum, but lets try to see it from the other side of the fence too.

From the fence I'm sitting on all I can see is irony. Using 4x Mitchum vouchers is in the 'spirit' of things' is it? And taking advantage of online GWPs? Without a purchase I presume?

Dear me ....

I printed out quite a few S+G vouchers, but none of the chimpaneeze SA's let me use them round here. And I ain't no super diva like you ladies. If they say no, I can't seem to argue it with them. I just say OK, leave it and buy the other items. I can just imagine telling them to override it cos the SA did that yesterday and get a huge slap across my face. All the SA's in West Yorkshire seem to think they know EVERYTHING! Besides a young lady in this area tried to use Mitchum coupons and almost got arrested cos the manager thought it was some kind of fraud. Boohiss.

Oh I just lurve Grabbit!!! The whole point is that we are customers, and not prisoners on the run, who have stepped in cat poo, and smell vile!

Sometimes I feel we are treated like Human Beings, until .............. we produce vouchers!!! At the point, it's tantamount to producing a gun!

I taught for donkeys years in inner-city schools, 14-18 year olds, and realised that in order to survive, you needed to set clear boundaries - none of this "Call me Sandra, kids", and, no matter how tempting it might have been, or how often I was goaded, I never raised my voice, swore, or took my eyes away from the eyes of the person I was talking to, or interrupted a parent during a phone call.

This was a wonderful apprenticeship for dealing with SAs, insurance companies on the phone, Inland Revenue, the Council etc etc. The point is Mimi (how's your Dad doing honey?), you don't need to argue, you just need to state your case. If all else fails, you only need to say "Please may I have the number for Customer Services", even if you know it.

It has a far different effect than saying "I'm going to phone CS, nah na-na nah nah ". Oh that I could clone myself and rush to your side, like your avenging angel .............. if I had wings .......:A

ahh thanks I usually take my vouchers etc downstairs where theres an SA thats an older man with black hair and hes so laid back its great-just fires everything through, no questions asked :T

Well i had went dow to the SS tills, and vouchers beeped, so SA took me to the photo till where it all went wrong!
oh well i now have an extra 500 points on my AC, and customer services were going to phone the store to tell them to accept the vouchers without question from now, so they should be accepting them now!

Thank The Lord we live in a land where we can have Free Speech! Of course there is another side to the coin, but I don't see what we're doing as being on a par with, for example, bankers who took an enormous risk with zillions of pounds etc.

And I certainly don't feel that the use of even an ACM voucher, should be met with disdain, and even rudeness, which loads of posters have found. Do you?

And with my bunions, and non existent 60s eyebrows, I am far from Godly!!! Just an OAP who is trying to get the best value for money that she can, and s-t-r-e-t-c-h her pension, like elastic.
