Boots Offer of the week (OOTW) 2009 to 2010

I thought it might be useful to post a list of dates and offers from last years Boots offer of the week (OOTW)
I have compiled the list from searches of this site, so hopefully there are no errors.
(apologies if there are any)
Originally the offers were half price and also on a 342 and therefore represented good value. But last year there was a big variation.
Some weeks the item was only reduced by one third instead of 50%. Sometimes it was on 342, sometimes not. It was very hit and miss and this could be an indicator on what to expect this year.
It usually starts on a Friday and is available online and instore. The items are found in the Christmas book/catalogue. The only exception was The No7 Protect & perfect set which was a 'special' last year
If anyone has any (inside) info as to what is available and when, it will be helpful to us all if you can post it here.

Oh, the S&G hatbox - yes I was here too, then gave up at daft-o-clock, went to wait outside the store the next morning, then, when I got to the door, realised that I didn't have my cards with me - only my advantage card - muppet ! Thankfully I had enough points on it ! (Still working my way through it now)0

Oh yes, half the night waiting for non-existent online hatboxes ... & slipping on sheet ice & dropping both of them on the long trek home from Boots the next morning.
And all worth it - still love mine almost a whole year on.0 -

I loved the hatbox holding screen man
I hope hes back this year although he wasnt the other day when I got holding screened on there
Love is the answer. At least for most of the questions in my heart,
Like why are we here? And where do we go?And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy,And sometimes life can be deceiving,
I'll tell you one thing, its always better when we're together0
