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!

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[/QUOTE]

well i have a 15 year old but im sure that means i cant join the parenting club. id be concerned about doing that incase i did something wrong. i went to the mini mode website and they sent me a 20% off code for online purchases but then theres postage to counteract so not sure if its really cheaper that way.

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

Thank you so much. Now it will make it easier for me to spot them. Fingers crossed I find them.

One more thing - did you find them in the clearance section or just on the regular shelf? I found the NC bags on their usual shelf.

OMG...this is my life you're describing there ha ha!

these quotes have gone weird!! partner also thinks it is funny he remembers coming and staying over night or for a few days and the house being utterly spotless - just needed to whizz round each morning for dog hair.

i was here 2 years then moved to another house (town house so rooms were huge - whilst there we did not buy anything new apart from cross trainer) anyhow we moved back 6 months later and literally cannot fit everything back in due to partners "belongings". so the cute spare room which was a tidy study with a futon for guests and my reading room is now a storage depot and the desk and laptop are in the dining room with the futon in the lounge:rotfl:terribly messy and i have to live here :eek:

Yeah, I'm not sure that it would take the 20% off the original price that it has been doing instore or whether you'd be able to use it with sale stuff as the Baby and You voucher states not to be used on sale items I beleive....but could you possibly PM me the code please as they have a larger selection f bits online and I might make an order. Thanks

i presume it was a regular shelf - not a reduced section but in with all the other make up bags. they had reduced price marked up so if thats not showing will probably be worth checking the price beforehand.

Thanks for the warning! If anyone is worried sign up for another AC (or put it in ohs name if they don't have one!) then if there is a prob you wont lose any points!

thanks i didnt even know there was a chequers centre one!! :eek:i have only lived in kent 3 years and only know where certain things are still nice to know partner hasnt told me theres one there when he knows i like to look for boots bargains - he does not find it so interesting :rolleyes:

The Chequers Centre branch is MUCH bigger than the Fremlin Walk one. It opens into the shopping centre, and also has doors in King Street (King Street being the actual name of the branch, if you're looking it up), not far from the bus station. Inside the shopping centre, it's opposite Superdrug. The branch has, I think, 3 ACMs, but neither branch has SS tills.

thank you i will have to go in and have a look now! we always park by fremlin walk look in house of fraser and get a coffee in waterstones etc as i used to not be able to go any further cause of back surgery. im better now so i can walk further and partner can carry lots for me im sure :rotfl:i dont like shopping in ashford at all so tend to go in to town as little as possible, even though we literally live next to centre.

I found it on the regular shelves, with a reduced sel.
Lots in Harrow a few days ago, brent X they were £7ish last week , but don't know if they've been reduced further, worth getting price checked just in case, they really are fab! hth
