The magazines seem to be proving quite elusive. I picked one up on my travels to Lakeside last week but seem to have lost it again and there are none in either of the Ipswich branches which is a real shame as they have some really gorgeous stuff on for half price at the moment and I've always got tonnes of children to buy for!

thanks i thought i was going mad walking around looking for catalogues of course finding other bargains along the way. i am so glad i found this forum as i had no idea i was not the only one getting boots bargains. and now i know about the catalogues im not buying clothes in the sale without a catalogue voucher even if it is a sale item [/QUOTE]

I'm such a numpty!...just sorting out my voucher purse and have discovered the 20% off voucher that I obviously cut out of the Baby and You magazine before I had to throw it in the recycling bin (I have a real OCD about things like this lying about!!!)....definitely earned myself a trip to Boots tomorrow to buy a load of clothes now!!! Yay!

i love mine too got two of them at the weekend, wish there had been more. keeping one and cant decide who to give the 2nd one too! id have bought them full price for pressies if id have known what was inside as the packing doesnt make it clear at all....but £3.50 each is even better
my little niece is going to egypt for xmas this year so thinking about giving it to her as an early xmas pressie so she can use it. at 9 she is better travelled than me :rotfl:

I'd have been thrilled to receive something like this. Think it is great for anyone that travels as has the name of so many cities on it. Definitely agree that packaging doesn't make it clear quite how lovely it is inside. Shame you have to break the seal to see it inside...this is the reason i've got to keep it for myself and buy another one for my friend now ha ha!

this is what they look like, boots own make:

http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10052&productId=40564&callingViewName=&langId=-1&catalogId=11051

theres another one in same design reduced from £10 to £4 approx so not such a good bargain and its empty. theres really are nice so hope you manage to find some - i had to go to two stores to find them whilst looking for NC bags which were not there

Didn't realise that the other one is only reduced to £4 from £10...seems silly that the one is down to £3 odd from nearly £15 and the other one that was cheaper in the first place is now more expensive!

boo hoo i wish i had one in my purse! i am the same with the recycling i go around cutting things out and recycling the rest. my house used to immaculate with everything in place as i like order and to know where everything is (that was with a teenager and a dog). now partner lives here even though he works away all time we have junk everywhere and i can never find a thing :eek: for example (we moved back here after 6 months in another house - long story) i have been looking for hammers for 3 months we have 3 somewhere, so this weekend i agreed partner could buy another one to put my pictures up for me. we now have the hammer in lounge where he left it and no pictures are up as of yet! :rotfl:i will get mad and do it myself soon :mad:

i would like some mini mode advice please as i am obviously being really thick! i have lots of relations with little ones and babies on the way so im planning on getting clothes as they are the easiest and cheapest thing for me to send for birthdays and xmas along with a book or something. also we are having to cut down how much we spend on presents from now on so trying to get a decent gift without spending very much.

plus theres a baby due in two weeks so i was looking for some nice new baby stuff. anyhow i found lots of things i liked in both stores which were reduced. but i looked around both stores all over the place for mini mode catalogue to find a voucher and there werent any anywhere. so how do i go about finding a catalogue and/or getting vouchers please as i dont want to pay more just becuase i cant locate a catalogue as otherwise ill just get something cute ive seen in asda.

I signed up to the parenting club (not that i have children but I buy lots of prsents for children!) and the mailing came with a few vouchers including 10% off Mini Mode / Molly n Jack clothing. Signed up on the ac machine and took a coupe of weeks to come x

Hello. From what I've read on here before, you need to be careful about doing this sort of thing if you don't actually have children under the age of 2. I believe that people have had their advantae cards confiscated as a result and have lost all the points that they have on there. Hopefully you won't get caught but thought I ought to warn you nonetheless.
