I was thining that!! My Boots was offering an early morning cleaning job, which would have been good as a student .... that would allow me to eavesdrop on offers, check out stock and report back to all you people .... but then I remembered that I've been identified as a nuisance and they'd never employ me!

How do I get a job in Boots???:rotfl:

This is no joke.
Do they do an evening shift or does it depend on the store????
Oh and do they do staff discount:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I took two back yesterday (I tried a bit and came up all blotchy, even though the other Botanics are fine) and it came up as Linksave (presumably because of the current promotion) and I only got £4.29 back. Oh well, I came away with a great bag full of other Botanics and No7.

ps - there obviously aren't any Bootsers in Newbury as all the Botanics soaps are still there (minus the one that I had away!!!). I haven't seen the Body Cream (like the Butter but lighter in colour) for a while - that is my favourite. I think that a lot of people just buy maybe a moisturiser and get another one free - not thinking about cheapies!!!

I told my friend who is a SA in this Boots when I went through and only spent about £4 about on the No7 offer. She was amazed and said she would have to get it coz she is going on holiday in the summer!!!

I am running out of room to put all my stash. I have already taken over two drawers of a chest of drawers and I think I am going to have to move on to the filing cabinet and hope my OH doesn't go in there (he doesn't see the point).

I know that its not botanics, no 7 etc... but can anyone give me a couple of pointers as to how to secure some gillette fusion razor blades cheaply ?

I went running down the aisle after a woman last night :rotfl: she picked up a reduced botanics but not the free one to go with it - how mad:D

Hi, I know that the Jewellery bag is available from 31st Janaury and that I have saved 1 voucher to use against this for my spend of £15 or more on no7. My question is, is the 3for2 No7 still on on the 31st and also the b1g13 on sun care? If it is could I not do a 3 for 1 (2 sun £5.50 & 1 make-up £6) (£1 spend) and then get another 3 no7 beauty/cream products (£7 products) which would then 3 for 2 (£14 spend) to go through in 1 transaction to make my £15. Hope this makes sense. Would this work? Thanks, Nikki

Some boots tissues are on BOGOF at the moment ... does anyone know whether the balmy ones are as good as Kleenex Balsam?

PS, also, people have mentioned the NO.7 free gift coming out soon is oriental ... does anyone know where to find a picture ... and the rest of the contents beside lip gloss?
