pash_2

I went to BOOTS yesterday, picked up my free sample of Clinique:j and had my free make over with Lancome!:beer: then off to the AC machine with my new replacement card! *kisses it excitedly! * got the elusive EI coupon and got the BOGOF handwash. Soltan kids duo on BOGOF, got Trevor Sorbie RED shampoo and conditioner (£4.99 each on 2 for £7) great for my new hair colour that has already faded so fast in 2 weeks OH has had to do a home colour job on it! Got the No 17 tan wipe and free brush and a tan correcter and another free brush:j .. found the T&G style palettes (what a saving on those!!) one pink one blue £7. got 2 packs bodyform (of the few with vouchers still on! casually pulled vouchers off while browsing <as you do!>) checking receipt was only charged for one pack but both vouchers went through!:T Tyxilix chesty cough plus poiints... split them into 2 transactions for £5 vouchers:money: (see Im learning!)... so all in all....

total (1st spend) £14.26 - 2* £1 coupons = £12.26 total saving £19.56
total £11.15 points received 44 double points coupon 44 offer points 150 total savings £7.13 (just noticed though she said she had used double points voucher on both sales she didnt!!! :mad: and it only doubled regular poiints not offer points is this correct??? )

Anyway for those of you still with me (sorry its so long but I havent been BOOTSing for ages.. with no card and all!!) I have yesterday, when got home from BOOTS got my parenting vouchers.:doh: . isn't that always the case! Can someone tell me whats the best things to get for free or little outlay with these.... thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

Are the T&G palettes for men or women?

I think they are for funky metrosexuals

Pink for a boy isn't a big taboo these days - though I did stop short of buying for an 11year old lad because I don't think that confidence is there that young. I doubt my brother would think twice about getting hair gunk out of a pink or turquoise pot though

Hi Pash,
I think it only doubles the offer points occasionally when it gets really confused, it is usually the normal ones.
Also, the assistant may have swiped the double point voucher twice as asked but it won't work twice in a twenty four hour period. (I found this out on one of the Christmas shopping evenings when I split my spends for maximum effect but it didn't come up the second time.)

I received a £10 Boots voucher from Pigsback this morning

Hi Pash and Liverbird Have pm'd Dave with the exact details of all the vouchers and the book of treats that I received today. Perhaps someone can let him know what they've received in the second and third mailings - sorry have already used mine, so can't remember exact details, and the questions about what each contain and which vouchers you get depending on the age of you babe/bump seem to keep appearing (I know, I know, I've asked them too )

Anyway, I'm looking forward to my makeover on Saturday - dd2 and dd3 thought it was really funny when I told them it was happening, they wanted to know if I was going to be a clown (like the cook on nanny mcphee, apparently :eek: ) or perhaps a butterfly or rabbit - can't help thinking that they're getting a bit confused with face painting :rotfl:

How did your makeover go Pash - did you look very glam?
