    I am frustrated with the No7 vouchers - trying to use them but two stores won't let me use them against reduced items! You want a bargain and you can't get it!
    [snipped ...]
    I can understand that frustration. The very same store that let the voucher be used for reduced No7 foundations yesterday, had changed their policy today :)

    But it's not unlike MrB saying: "Spend £5 on nearly anything, and we'll give you £5 off No7 or R&M." Then repeating it in small type saying: "BUT, we'll impose some very conflicting Terms and Conditions which will not only confuse the hell out of you, but our own SA's too."

    It's a weird voucher ;)

    GWPs from the last couple of weeks:

    Max Factor - crumby bag but some nice cosmetics inside - I like the eyeshadow

    Olay Regenerist - Black bag with red flowers filled with goodies

    Olay something - Mauve box with eyelash curlers etc and a couple of cosmetics

    Vichy - white box with 5 skincare things in it

    Sanctuary - 4 body butters

    No 7 GWP - pink bag filled with P & P items, mirror attached inside lid
    Worked out the 5 ml of face serum is worth £3 and about the same for the hand cream

    Show piccies? Don't make me larf!! But it's a start, so that someone cleverer can use the info and add to it, and make it look pretty!

    BTW hja, you asked what "either Boots had in stock", but I don't know where you are situated!

    Lol, you answered after I deleted the post (I realized I might have misunderstood what kind of "free" gift was being asked about, and besides, a list had been started, lol). I'll put back the tip on saving posts you like to favorites so you can find the info again:

    When you find a post you want to save (such as one describing a gwp or glitch, etc), click on the number of the post in its right-hand corner and it will open just that post, then save that post to a file for gwps (or whatever) in your Web browser's "favorites" list so you can have it to refer to. I actually never think to do this but sometimes wish I had!

    Not sure about the 25% off, but there's sometimes a 1,000 points voucher knocking about, so might be worth looking out for :) hth

    Psssion, I know there was some around Winter07/08 (because I used them;) ) but I haven't seen any this winter. Do you know where they are found.:confused:

    This is a do-it-yourself test for paranoia: you know you've got it when you can't think of anything that's your fault.
