Have you complained to Royal Mail? I once complained re delivery to my Gran's house (left stuff to get wet cos couldn't be bothered to wait for her to answer the door), they do look into it and I got compensation by way of stamps. I used the website www.royalmail.com to complain HTH

I will, thanks for that angel!

Been pregnant for non stop for 2 years (ish) got pregnant 4 weeks after birth - thats why i bought 2 big packs of condoms!!!! The bar sounded like a good frebie though! I have had the boots freebies legitimatly(!) twice and my husband has had them twice on my behalf. Seriously considered avoiding the bar so that i could get more freebies(is ther such a thin g as boots rehab?!)

I was pregnant non stop for two years, got preg when daughter was 1 month old - so they have a week between thier birthdays cos he was late! costs me a fortune! cheap to have joint parties though!

Never thought of that - unfortunatly they are end of nov and mid dec so makes for a expensive end of year with xmas included. That's why i love boots - im able to do the prezzies thing spilt up over the year. My youngest is now 3 mths and has been in boots more times than any other building(other than home obviously!) my 1 yr old and 3 yr old also know the way to boots from our house(whole 15 miles!) :grinheart

You have your hands full, can't be easy Bootsing with three little ones. I have DS who is 2yrs 7mths and DD who is 13mths. I have to take the double buggy otherwise its impossible to look for bargains and stop DS from touching everything.

I went to Boots in Leeds to have my first Advantage Card machine voucher adventure. Armed with my card (and trying desperately to look like I'd used the machine a million times before), I found the offer on the Everyday Essentials 100 extra points offer and printed it out.
I already had two £5 off vouchers (I'd spent £20 and when the guy only gave me one £5 I suggested it would be easier for him to give me two rather than him having to refund the goods and do it in two transactions - what a splendid chap!) so I set off to find what I needed.
I chose 2 Simple face care products - one at £4.29 and one at £6.29. I then found the Everyday Essentials handwashes which were on buy one get one free at £1.99 (some at £1.66 but they only had 1 left).
Went to the till - checked that I had to do 2 transactions as had 2 x £5 vouchers - yes, so put the £6.29 Simple product through first. Got 25 points and paid my £1.29. I then paid for the other goods - the Simple at £4.29 and the 2 hand washes. The good old till took the full £5 off even though the Simple product was less than £5 so I paid another £1-something for the lot. The cashier was concerned that the extra points hadn't gone on to my card and when she checked I had been awarded not 100 but 300 bonus points on top of the regular points.
So, I had bought around £15 worth of goods for around £2.60 and received £3.50s worth of points !
Sorry for the long winded tale but I'm still abit beside myself with glee.
There was also 500 extra points if you bought a Brita water filter jug - the cheapest seemed to be around £17.

Snap for my 4 month old :rotfl:

My 3 year old knows the way too and if I have to go somewhere else first and go a different way he often pipes up 'Boots isn't this way Mammy' :rotfl:

I bought a Brita Fjord filter yesterday at half price for £8.83, they had a few left so I'm hoping I may get the 500 points voucher.

Does anyone know the exact terms of this? Would it exclude certain models or reduced items??

Got several Avent bits half price, steriliser set, breast pump, cups etc.
Used my mums EI voucher to get 4 more handwash and 4 more bodywash.

Also saw leaflets to say you get free Boots baby wash products when you spend £15 on nappies, similar to online I think, but you have to spend £20 online.

Got some Heinz pots for 16p using the 30 points voucher- does anyone know when that one ends?

Spend £10 or more on male fragrances/ shower gel etc and get £4 off!
