    I've got 4 pooey's from yesterday's shop's haven't got a clue what to spend them on :rolleyes:

    Hi moyilla, I bought L' Oreal Paris Colour Appeal Star Secrets Trios Eye Shadow today for £2.84 after voucher. I think sally06 originally recommended this, they're lovely! I also noticed offers on mascaras for some of the brands which were under £5 with voucher.
  • Been Bootsing for the first time in ages today and I was looking to use the Elle voucher. Have I missed the boat ladies as there were no SEL reductions on Elle in store.
    I've read back a few pages and theres no mention of it today. Thanks :confused:

    Just been into Nottingham Vic centre - clearance is back, and is not bad (for a change). Aquafresh toothbrushes £1 each, petal eye pallettes £5.xx, condoms, few pairs of tights, bits of make-up, bits of premium hair care (Charles Worthington etc), Gillette shave gels/foams 95p, and some Pukka Pout lip balm (and the vanilla flavour one from the same range) 62p each :T. However, none of the clearance barcoded items go through the SS tills without SA assistance in this store. I asked my SA, she said the only items that will go through with clearance barcodes are reduced meal deal items. Reduced SELs items go through fine though.

    I feel like a right numpty though - I put loads of stuff in my basket, thinking it would easily come to more than £5. Nope, £4.95 :rotfl:!! I couldn't be bothered going getting a packet of hankies to make it over £5, just for a pooey.

    Hi there

    Can anyone please tell me where they got the no7 peel voucher? Is it from the ACM or a mailing? I have got the line lift one and the highlighting one. Sorry to ask - I have checked the 1st post and read back to try and find it. TIA

    Hi AM, have you managed to get any of the nail polish remover?

    I had a look yesterday but couldn't find it and I looked everywhere :confused:

    I've got 4 pooey's from yesterday's shop's haven't got a clue what to spend them on :rolleyes:
    Not managed to see any of the nail polish remover either, however I don't think the reports back about it are too good x I will stick to my asda one. Probably just go for even more sharpeners now :o
    This is a do-it-yourself test for paranoia: you know you've got it when you can't think of anything that's your fault.

    Oh, forgot, also on the normal shelves in Vic centre were the Mr Mascara facecloth and toothbrush sets, and the exfoliating gloves and bath lily sets, both at £2.xx on the SELs. Plus one of the Boots travel bags with travel size plastic bottles in, half price at £7.xx

    went to my local boots today and got the glycolic peel, line lift and the highlighting vouchers today from the acm and used them all and also brought 2 pantene conditioners and only had to pay £1.7x so i'm very pleased with myself.
  • I managed to get one of the Bourjois nail polish removers, but I wouldn't recommend it - it's horrible! Absolutely stinks, didn't work very well and just felt yucky afterwards! Even for 44p or whatever after voucher, I wouldn't get anymore...
    Telford (Forge retail park) had quite a bit on clearance today - the Nivea lipgloss sets, lots of reading glasses, some durex things, a few hair accessories, loads of make up bits and tights... Picked up one pair of tights as it had a voucher fixed to the front for £3off gillette venus...was about to put it in my basket as it was a bargain as 88p for the tights, but then I noticed the use by date for voucher...it was 31/12/2006!!! :eek:
    I always thought they held onto clearance stuff in that store but that's a bit extreme!!!

    ETA - main clearance is on right hand side of store, at end of toothpaste aisle I think. Also lots of reduced make up at end of one of the makeup aisles, facing perfume & hairdryers...
    :heart: I have this theory that chocolate slows down the ageing process.... It may not be true, but do I dare take the chance? :heart:
