In mansfield today heard a manager saying he could do with more sale stock as it was flying out.

Not a lot left. Staff were filling their baskets

Today I went to Boots Clifton Down Shopping Centre, Whiteladies Road. There are more than 100 giftsets left, No7, FCUK, etc. But not look so fab. Spent £11.50 for £34.50. But felt bad as I can't use my points to pay. Don't know why.

For your info, Bristol Queens Road also has some socks, gloves, and slippers left.

I will go to Bristol Broadmead tomorrow. Hope might get some good bargain. Will update tomorrow afternoon.

I used 3000 points to pay for £120's of stuff yesterday so cant see the prob with paying byu points. And I managed to get the 2nd from last artists pallette :j

Thats not fair - I want one :mad: lol well done to you!

To add I also used points for all my sale stuff - could it be that you never had enough points and that is why it didnt go through?

Thanks for your help

Yes put cheap item through first, works on 99p bodybars but wouldn't work for me on a £1.4x gel cleanser (SA said it was a mini product) swapped for a £1.99 body lotion/balm and got £5 bodybutter free. Good luck.

Anyone been to Parkgate Rotherham, often quiet up there, wondered if it was worth a trip out tomorrow?

The Botanics offer is a free MOISTURISER with any Botanics purchase so make sure the product you choose mentions moisturiser on the label. Check back a few pages - there are lots of posts about who got what freebie if you're worried about taking a wrong product to the till!

Thanks Quackers.

Now if I could just drug (sorry, I mean persuade) my husband that a day out in Stoke is just what he feels like, we could go to the Spode and Portmeirion factory shops and finish buying presents for Christmas 2007!

I tried to use my £5 voucher today against a No7 set that was reduced but the till wouldn't have it. SA assured me it would not work on the big R&M palettes that were reduced either. So bought another No7 nailpolish for £1.

Also, what is it with stuff reduced online but not instore? Like the £10 boxes of chocs and the jewellery box with fudge, both reduced online but still for sale at full price in store. SA told me it was full price but I did not believe her and made her scan it. She was right :eek: , came up full price. Who is going to pay full price for these christmassy-looking things now? I don't get it...

I think the weirdest thing about Boots is that there is no consistency between online prices, and store to store. It feels as if they're not a national chain.
