10% discount from where? What offer?

The code came in an email from Boots, spend over £60 and you get 10% off your order if you pay by paypal. So if you go to boots.com, and enter the code at checkout it deducts 10% from your basket price. The code is meant to be used only if you select paypal as your payment option once you checkout, but a similar code was around before and it worked even if you did not pay be paypal. You can find the code here:

Thanks C l a i r e
I'm well aware of the 10% paypal code as I indicated previously.
I was simply asking her to clarify what 10% code she had used as she claimed to have not paid by paypal.
But if as you say people are able to claim the paypal discount without actually using paypal then maybe that is what she did.
Who knows!
I'm pretty shocked that Boots and Paypal would allow such a big loop hole though.
And according to their T&C's they are well within their rights to demand the money back.

Hi

thanks everyone for all your advice, I have just gone ahead and ordered. I used topcashback (thanks Asset, I have only ever used Quidco, and I know they don't do Boots), then paid put in the code and paid through paypal. Will keep you all posted as to how I get on with it. Delivery day is thursday

I thought that reply was straightforward enough. Everyone on the thread seems so helpful, I dont think they were being facetious.

Mind you, it could be classed as annoying. :rolleyes: Simply because I've already bought mine and you lot can now get it cheaper. :rotfl:

Only kidding...I'm happy for my fellow future baldy MSE'rs to save some money.

Hi All just to let you know...

I bought a smooth skin on 7th June and have just logged on and seen that it is now down to £249 when i paid £299, so i phoned boots and they have refunded me back £50 for the difference so worth a try if you have bought one recently!;)

Just an update. I have been using mine for a while on my face and I'm now hair free on my chin and upper lip - one happy bunny.

Underarms are nearly there, just bikini line and legs to do next.

Jasmine - How long have you been using it on your face to become hair free?

I did my 8th I think it was treatment on my chin and under chin area. My under chin area is definately almost hair free. The odd hairs here and there now. But even after 8 weeks it doesn't seem to have touch my chin area!If nothing has happened by 12th week I don't know what to do. Do I carry on with it or what?

I think hair maybe beginning to thin under my arms after 4 weeks and possibly the same around nipple area also.

I bought mine around 7th May and did it once a week every week, so that would have been probably around 6 weeks doing it just the once, then I have spent the last 3 or 4 weeks doing to twice a week - saturday and wednesday.
Hubby started doing his beard the same time as me, but not seen much difference except for the two weeks I set it on high (eek-wicked wife) and went over it twice in one go - don't think he would let me loose again as he was a big wimp. when I did it for him like that within the week he had bare patches, but now he will only let me do it one time and only once a week and it seems slower.

I know it recommends once a week, but can honestly say the results were slow and now its nearly gone since doing it twice, plus I neer do what I'm told

I'm olive skin with dark hair (half spanish) by the way

I've ordered one today (using Top Cashback & 10% Paypal code) so thanks to all who have posted these tips

I was trying to avoid calling it rude it and it was definitely obtuse.;)
And I agree most people on here are really helpful.
Is machine number three still functioning by the way?

Oh Oh I just remembered
I have a cunning plan, when I get mine I was thinking of only doing half my body so I can really notice if it is working or not.
Mental or genius... I'm not sure. But it beats doing two legs two arm pits and whole bikini line once a week. I'll just be doing one of each. That way I'll definitely know if it is really working or not. Cool huh!:cool:
