  • That is so funny......!!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Its like an addiction isnt it?? I keep thinking, thats it, I've had enough of bootsing, and then I suddenly need to have just one more fix!!!!

    Can we set up some sort of support group on here for us Boots addicts??!! ;) :rotfl: :rotfl: :wall: :wall: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    ha ha my OH says i need help but admits he does like to see "my little face light up" when im showing him my latest goodies!! LOL:j
  • Bedshaped - slight misunderstanding - I only lost 50pts by choosing not to use my advantage card.

    Vouchers and points together! Can you imagine - I would need Pickfords to carry all my goodies home.

    I am sorry to ask this, but I feel like I have lost the plot today.

    When I bought 3 x No 7 suncare items the other day, the SA would not take my £5 voucher, saying it did not apply to suncare. So, I paid £12 for 3 items and at least earned another £5 voucher.

    When I bought 2 x No 7 suncare items and 1 pack of wipes, I used the voucher. The girl on the Clinique counter gave me a £5 voucher, even though I had only spent £1 (I think). When I tried this again on another till, I did not get the £5 voucher, because I had not spent enough.

    I could do with some more sun tan lotion, as my daughter is going to Israel in the summer. Do I buy 2 suncare plus 1 skincare or 6 skincare.

    Please advise the best (in your opinion) of doing this. I still have about 5 x £5 vouchers and about £3 haircare vouchers.

    BTW, I am not complaining. I have a nice hoard of stuff so far, which has not cost a lot.

    My OH doesn't think its funny at all. He suggests that i dont go to boots at all today. He said its an addiction just like gambling coz i cant stop thinking about/going to boots- and its affecting everyday life.(i said i was going to drop the kids of at my mums for an hour so i could whizz around 4 local boots) I tell him the glitch will only last a few more days he says 'but then another one will be found and it'll never end'.
    As i am sitting here at home with the kids im panicing that when i next get to boots there will be no suncare stuff left or the glitch will be fixed :eek:
    maybe he has a point xx
    :happylove
    Blissfully content & happy with life
  • I got 6 x Firm-Your-Body Sun Lotion came to £12 and used a £5 voucher cost £7 and was given another voucher.

    Then got 6 x after sun came to £9.50 and paid £4.50 using the voucher above and got another voucher cos picked up pack of 74p cards to take transaction over £5.

    If you buy any other No Product - then you need to buy in mutiples of 3. 2 suncare plus I x skincare/cosmetics.
  • Oh foxy lady - I can relate to that. My OH response was "Oh no - not another groundhog day at Boots"

    I somehow think he will not be going back with me this afternoon!

    What I don't understand is how did 6 x aftersun come to £9.50, if they are £9.50 each.

    I apologise for being thick today.
