    I have a Highlights Island Glow (un-used) which is keen to move to a new location... If a Dandy Pink would want to move house at the same time a pm would be most welcome!! ;)

    Hellooo peeps

    This is my first time!I've been reading about all your adventures for a few weeks and have decided to take the plunge.

    I got the No7 highlighter and line vouchers from the acm yesterday and wanted to get them both with the 342 offer on No7.I got three Awakening Eyegels(spending £15.60 after the 342) and the highlighter and line thingy and passed them to the No7 SA.
    She said straight away that I couldn't do it.I explained that the two freebies had no restrictions showing on the vouchers on the vouchers. She said I could only get the Highlighter if I bought one product because it's not plural on the voucher, and that I couldn't get the highligter because you can't get the 342 using any reduced items.I pointed out that the reduced items it referred to were the ones included in the 342 not a free item.I think she just didn't want to do it because she needed to walk to the other side of the store to get a key from someone to do something on the till.

    My question is:is she right, should I not have been able to do what I did?
    Felt really guilty afterwards as if I'd done something I shouldn't but reading all these posts about who has done what and how, gave me the confidence to stick to my guns.

    Grateful for your advice folks.

    welcome to the wonderful world of bootsing!!!!:hello:
    this happens sometimes that the SA make up their own rules and dont let you get the bargains...just try to go to another SA a while later......dont worry too much about it...i'm sure its happened to many of us here!

    Hi Bullsfacey

    I never go to the No7 SA, lots of people have posted that they are reluctant to let you use vouchers. Hope you have better luck in future.

    I wonder if you could have used that T & G 250 points voucher for the colour range which is in the current hair and beauty mag?? Now don't go rushing back too quickly to try this!!!!!!:rotfl:

    funniest thing i heard today

    old sa in my local was telling everyone to put there cards in the till card reader as they might have won 1000 points - when i asked her if she was right and that i thought you had to put your card in a boots acm and if you won it printed a ticket she says..............

    i don't know what you are talking about my dear girl, i've worked here for 8 years and the atms are outside if you need money first.

    needless to say i laughed so much right in front of her i couldn't help it
    coupon over here, coupon over there, every crack filled with coupons even down there

    I have an illuminating voucher going spare. DD told me no more, as there are still 3 unused from when we got them free with the voucher from the Boots mag. If someone would like it, pm me your name and address and I will send it tomorrow.

    When I was in Watford before, I noticed some reduced electrical baby products in the clearance section. Sorry, was not really in the mood for browsing, so did not see what they were. They might have been monitors, but I am not sure. You could always ring the store and ask to be put through to someone on the ground floor and then get them to check the clearance section. There were also some No7 nail polishes reduced to £1.50, summer eyes palette and also some reduced skincare - I can't remember which range though.

    Squidgemum got there first, so she gets the voucher. To Bellytaz and mum2hannah, if I get another one or 2, I will let you know.
