    I've just come back from Shrewsbury, no £5.50 stuff left (there were 3 brightening body butters, and 1 eye and lip shimmer, did 2 lots of 3 for 1, as the 641 would have cost me even more (other suncare were 11.50+), but no hair spritzers, wanted one :(, so got 3 brightening body butters, 1 lip and eye shimmer, and 2 lots of makeup wipes. Returnt a perfume set, was femine not masculine, and because they had to return and resell it, I had to have another voucher, so used 2 vouchers, ended up geting 4 back (the SA gave me one voucher back after swiping it). Also got a purple bag again, and used the 250 extra points on the 3 for 1 offer, also got 2 more mags.

    So got:
    3x body butter
    1x lip and eye shimmer
    2x makeup wipes
    1x boots mag
    1x burgungy bag

    Paid £3.50, recieved 300 points, saved £45 ish, got 4 more vouchers, so need to go back sometime to use them.

    Lol!! that was I and I sound like a total moaner but it was the principle of the fact (didnt say anything to the SA because its not her fault). Boots said to maximise the number of vouchers we would "be happy to make several transactions for you" (yeah right!!! - plus I couldn't do that to any poor unsuspecting SA's!!)

    But a nice apology (finally) and 1000points winging their way on to my AC! :D:D:D:D

    On the first day of the 75% sale, I had a lovely SA in Oxford who was more than happy to break down my purchases into seven or eight £5-ish lots. She had been shopping before the shop opened and had purchased 7 bags of bargains and was in a great mood (except she wasn't sure how she was going to get it all home on the bus!)

    Thanks to the OP and all the lovely ladies who have posted. I am new to bootsing and after having followed this thread for quite a few days decided to chance my luck at lunchtime today....

    Boots at Picadilly Circus has absolutely HEAPS of No7 stuff- both regular and sun. I got a 641 deal and a 342 (2 sun producuts and the facial wipes) and am thrilled. SA didn't give me another £5 voucher though - is it worth ringing up to ask?

    Also did the botanics one with the magazine voucher - found a stack of the mitts (for £1.50) in another section so bought one of those and got a moisturiser free

    I also got a printout from the till saying ring up to do our survey and win £1000- has anyone done this and won anything to date?

    all in all am a very happy bunny :)

    Been to Rotherham Parkgate and Meadowhall, was only 1 £5.50 item to be had so did 3, 342 with No.7 body spritz which I really like. But managed to get 3 lots of Botanics moisturisers with waffle mitt and extra points(free lunch deal!!). Added up receipts spent about £20 for £96 worth of stuff and 300 extra points. Kept a hold of one £5 voucher in case I like the look of the No. 7 gift next week. Got to try and keep away from Boots for a few days now.

    Agree with others posters, the chat is what makes this thread interesting! Love to have a read at least twice a day, lol!!

    Jsut been to Lakeside Boots. No 5.50 suncare, seems like they've cleared the shelves themselves.

    Picked up a few bargains though and must have chosen the pickiest SA as when i handed over some vouchers which i knew i could use she looked at me like dirt and read the t&c's with a fine tooth comb.

    She tried to reject a points voucher i had for huggies even though she'd jsut scanned them through!!!
