No i tried and it wouldnt work and then she moaned that it wasnt facial skincare that i had picked up!

But the men's voucher just says 'men's skincare' not 'facial skincare', which is what the women's one says... think it would be worth arguing this one out?!

Thanks for info about Staines, I will try Camberley tomorrow and report back.

I was in Camberley store Saturday afternoon and didn't see any

They did have a fair few botanics lipbalms though (£2.50 so free with skincare vouchers), plus they had some magazine, hidden on a bottom shelf on a corner display near the photo counter.

HTH

Sorry I wasn't sure from your original quote if it was the MF boxes that you were looking for. If it was they have them in Uxbridge (if thats not too far for you). I am thinking of trying Slough tomorrow and can let you know.

I would laugh at this and have suprised myself at being so stupid.

Earlier in the month I complianed to Boots about the smell that comes from the Goldenglow. It reminds me of the old tanning products, not very pleasant. I was told that if I returned them they would raise a manual credit for the full value (although they were 'free') as they were unsuitable and as such I should ring them 7 days later to have the credit raised.

I offered to have an alternative lotion ( I like the body butter etc) but was refused. Now having rang them they have refused to refund, return the items or replace the ones I was told to send back.

I said common sense(LOL) would prove that I could have just taken them to the shop for a refund had I not been told not to do that but send them back free of charge. There is no record of the conversation suprise suprise!

No Joy - no common sense either. My neck is burning with annoyance. Its the sort of feeling you get when you cant take it out on anyone.

I am furious but I must be thick as Sxxx to have followed their instructions.

So much for being honest LOL:o:rotfl:

There were a dozen or so MF red boxes left at Preson Fishergate at lunchtime.

The SA was amazed and said she was off to get a freebie, so not sure if there will be many left.

The machine wouldn't let me pay with my points for some reason?

All this, followed by meeting that lovely young crooner Donnie Tourette, a strang lunchtime, me thinks!
