    I went to Darlington Yesterday and didn't find these, where were they ??

    Botanics Body Bars are hidden away over near the photo counter, find the machine to develop your own photos then look on the shelves across from it. There were 3 left on the shelf after I had one late on Friday afternoon.

    Also had a nightmare never got any of the No7 sun things as only 2 £5.50 items left and one scanned at £9.00 even though i knew they were £5.50 what a mare the old woman was serving me too.

    I find the younger ones in that Boots branch are more friendly, the older ones do seem to be dragons protecting the store from us and the No.7 woman just plain scares me!

    Parents did well -except...bought botanics+free moisturser +100points and cold n flu tablets +100 points...and put it on mums advantage cards.

    so i have cold n flu tablets for 99p...and no points!!!!! hmm..go figure! but i think i can spare 200 points considering the booty theyve just brought me back!

    Quick shop in boots today, they had run out of £5 vouchers!! seems a bit petty for me to contact customer services given the amount of free/cheap stuff I've had. But I was still devestated!

    Do you get another £5 if you use the £5 voucher to pay and your cash spent is less than £5.

    I would like to know that too!. I was refused because i only had £1.50 to pay on the no7 bag when using the £5 no7 voucher. does anyone know if this is their policy?

    It can't be a coincidence that all the no7 ladies are 'unpopular'. Maybe they only get paid £3 a week basic and then 50% commision on everything they sell-and not give away :confused:

    Today I bought a reduced Botanics 'Comfortable skin restoration balm' @ 49p and a free 'Face renewal cream' @ £5.99 OR £6.99?
    Used a 100 points from mag and picked up another mag. Went to next Boots (4 in Canary Wharf!) and got a reduced tanning lotion for 93p and another face cream and mag, used the 100 points from last mag..............
    Took the 100 points back to 1st Boots to get more of the 49p reduced balm and they wouldn't accept the transaction because it was a reduced item.
    I said it had worked earlier and they asked for my reciept. I gave it to them and it only had 49p on it!!!!!! I usually check my reciept instore, but as I only bought the 49p and that's what I was asked to pay, I didn't.
    I asked for a supervisor/manager and the SA went off and came back to say they were busy so wouldn't come and see me.
    The SA got really stroppy and said did I have the original goods ................................. as she was now taking them back!
    I said that as the transaction was made over 2hrs earlier and I had paid for the items they were mine.
    She said she would call security if I didn't give them back. I was with my son's gf who'd also done the 1st same transaction with me, she pointed out to the SA she also had a reciept. When she got her's out it was the same, 49p!
    So the SA said she wanted her stuff back as well :(
    We left...............happy to keep our 1st shop intact, but not before the SA had called for a security guard to come to back desk.
    Lucky for us we made a quick escape, feeling like Thelma & Louise.
    Hair-raising day for us!!!!

    We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars........................

    I have been today, got another good haul with the 641. also got trevor sorbie mousse and used the 150 point voucher so got it free basically. Still havent seen any No7 bags in Edinburgh fort. Although that may because i dont get that close to No7 counter as I find the girl quite scarey!!.
    I still have two vouchers to use and the parenting one. Might have to pop in again tomorrow before offer ends.
    I spent almost all of my sleeping hours last night dreaming of boots offers. I kept waking up and dreaming of more. Its terrible......... well actually its fab.
    I Can resist everything, except Temptation x:o

    After reading about everyones successful 6-4-1- hauls I am going to bite the bullet and try it tomorrow before the offer finishes! Has anyone tried this in any of the liverpool stores yet? Also does anyone know if the offer works on the £5.50 suncare gift bags?

    Thanking all those who put in the hard work to figure out these boots glitches. I honestly dont know how you do it - but im very glad you do and that you pass on the info to us all :)
