I must point out as there seems to have been a little bit of controversy from my post this morning. I had been into Boots about 5 times in my life before I found these forums so they have had very little money from me in the past.

Since becoming aquainted with all these lovely freebies and bargains, I have spent a fortune in there, literally!

That's a valid point in the argument about Returns: If you buy one item per month, you're unlikely to return it. Buy hundreds a month and you'll probably come across something unsuitable!

One last thing, I read this forum every day, its a very enjoyable part of my life and I would hate to think anyone was thinking badly of me.

I wouldn't imagine any of the regular posters do. I for one don't!

I purchased 2 DR handcream sets... the other night I found the time to 'pamper' my hands but found the smell of the cream awful and it gave me a terrible migraine almost instantly.

I tried these for the first time last night - had a 15 minute pampering sesh of me own!

That hand mask was good fun, though I was worried it'd be a pain to get the stuff off, but it washed off easily with a bit of handwash.

Love the smell of the Rescue Balm - divine.

Next the best bit - the buffing! Well I'm no longer a buffing virgin! Although I'm not sure I was doing it right.

Started on my left thumb and didn't see any difference - buffed away until it got uncomfortably warm. (Actually buffed smooth all the "thumb ridges".) Then was getting a bit bored so didn't spend as long on the others. Washed my hands again and put the tamarind cream (lovely stuff but the smell is a bit odd) and then noticed that my nails had gone very glossy! Look lovely today!

Don't think I'll be going for the full nail varnish just yet, but am looking forward to next pampering session.

QUESTION - Is there a "best way" to buff your nails?

I got DP some TS items...It wasn't till the sale had gone through that I realised it only came to £8.43 so I missed out on the chocs/skincare voucher!

Hi chell - if that ever happens again, just say you've forgot something and go and get another one. If there's a big queue waiting behind you, say you've forgot something and ask for the entire transaction to be voided and then take your basket, get something else and rejoin the queue.

shower gel which was reduced is very slightly different packaging design to the deoderant. If I had known it was only £1 I would have got more.

If you refer Post #222, I explained how to tell the difference between old and new TS packaging. Even without the extra AC points, it's a real bargain.

I've been boots free for the day too - Anyone no what time they open Sundays? :rotfl:

Anyone know why Boots isn't 24 hour opening?!?!?

I've been Boots free since Thursday. Decided I'd go to a little one today in Huyton to redeem my Lindor and Skincare vouchers. Don't venture there often since it doesn't have an AC machine. Nearly lost me smalls when I walked around the corner and saw that the windows were all covered up and it was closed for "improvements". :eek: :eek: :eek:

Just hope the "improvements" include plenty of "slightly-shop-soiled-due-to-improvements" bargains when it finally re-opens :rotfl:

Make sure your nails are completely DRY first ... then whilst buffing always move the buffer accross the nail in the same direction. So - start at the nail bed and move toward the free edge, move the buffer away from nail back to nail bed and repeat and so on. Hope that makes sense!

Happy buffing

I've done that - the SA "suspended" the sale and carried on serving other people and when I got back with my extra bits, just bought back the transaction where it stood.

Yesterday I bought quite a few bits of children's clothes with the 25% off, and all were already in the sale. I apologised to the SA beforehand that I was going to split the transaction into £10 lots which she helped me with. I thought that the total ended up higher than I anticipated, and so checked my receipt afterwards standing just beside the till. The total had been about £35 in three lots. But nearly all the reduced clothes had gone through at the wrong price. SA had to redo them all and I ended up getting over £8 back.

So just watch out if you buy things reduced, although you may want to let them go through the till get your voucher and then get the refund - I didn't do that deliberately, was too busy trying to stop dd wrecking the shop and the SA was taking the items from the pile and putting them through.
