Hate to be the bearer of bad news but the P&P Body Serum is back to full price. I asked in store, the SA had rung Head Office on Monday when they found out that they were going to have some new No7 vouchers to ask if the half price offer was still on. I got them to price check one, and it had gone back to full price on the tills.
She also said that they were not re-branding or re-packaging it as far as she knew as it hadn't been out that long.
I wanted another couple for pressies so decided to get them yesterday - just in case, knowing that I might be kicking myself today. Glad I did now.

My friend has just rung me from Boots - just to confirm serum is back up to full price.

Oh! I popped into Boots this morning before work to pick up a few essentials. No goody shopping. I didn't get a new voucher!! I got the old one
And the P&P was still half price and my Loreal mans bag scanned at full price! So I am going back at lunch time to return it! I feel in a grumpy mood now!

Probably the cheapest way to get the GWP now is to have a hand cream (£10 down to £5), or the lip care (£8.56 down to £3.56) with the £5 off PP, then go for something else with the No7 voucher to make the difference up.
As I've got enough of the GWP for what I wanted, I'll probably go for a hand cream for free and use both vouchers on that as I use a lot of handcream.

Ask them if they'll swap the voucher for the new one and grab a P&P while you can if its still half price, but I'd get them to price check first as it definitely came up as full price on the till where I went.

Hmm I'm stuck at work now though. They will probably have it fixed by lunchtime. I did walk past an SA being told off by a very OTT manager. Asking why the SA hadn't taken down the offer labels (I think she was refering to the slimfast stuff) The poor SA protested that she hadn't taken them down because there was no date on them and she didn't know to the manager went on to say, "oh you'll get me the sack now" which I thought was a bit much.:o

I just thought I would report what she told me. I also hope it is not true as my sis and her friend both want me to get them some and £2.25 instead of £25.00 with a GWP would be great!!!

So sorry I was right. I only got my first one yesterday so I missed out aswell. What other p&p is reduced so I can use the Pinky/Purply with the £5.00 p & p? Really Boots are foolish because you have to spend £5.00 to get the voucher so effectively they would still be getting the £5.00 on the Body Serum. Does that make sense?

I don't think any other P&P is reduced but the handcream is £10 so free and the lipcare is £8 something? I'm not sure if the £1 something would then be taken off the rest of your bill? The P&P Serum would be £8 something plus gwp so a good deal if you use it.

:hello:

Not exactally :rolleyes: but he is not as bad as he could be, still same weight, his bro is projectile vomiting for third day and I've only had 45mins sleep...:rotfl:

...so going to need a great eye cream...benefit one is brill though

awww sorry to hear that...could you not grab some sleep while your mum is here.....you really sound like you have your hands full at the moment...although its always good to get out for a bit of "retail therapy" isnt it...LOL..not treied the benefit eye cream...does it work miracles then?? I will have to have a look today for all the stuff youve mentioned ...i'm hoping to get some p&p if the offer is still running

Benefit Lemon Aid Corrector Eyelid Primer is amazing, but in Guildford you can only get it in House of Fraser :rolleyes: I'm not into expensive toiletries or Make up as i'm far from girly...but this stuff is amazing and much needed at the moment!

I did not get out...my mum has been shopping for me lol. She has delayed her flights yet again as she is looking after ds1 (and the house / me / everything!) whilst I look after ds2 as he only takes 10ml every 15mins by a syringe so each feed takes 3hrs and he is fed every four so not much chance of kip! Raving nightmare and ds2 was supposed to be admitted and fed IV but ds1 is feeling left out at the moment and really took it hard when I was in hospital xmas/new year and so I have been allowed home with him if I see the Paed every 2nd day at the hospital. So not much fun but ds1's signs of being on the autistic spectrum have increased immensely since ds2 arrived and my hospital stay and I can not bare upsetting him further at the moment.

Sorry really off topic there, i'm really an awful waffler

Enjoy your bootsing today
