Oooooohhhhhhhh, Hamilton is just next to where I am in East Kilbride:D I have been going to the Kingsgate one but they seem to have run out of all the cheap botanics things. I am going to try the Town Centre tomorrow.

Do the Hamilton ones have a lot of the Sun Tan lotions left? I am going to try and stock up on these for the summer:) Also, where are the Hamiltons stores? Are there any at the big retail park as that is where I would be parking?

the boots in the retail park next to asda had plenty of the suncreams left, the shop in the town centre had less. They had loads of the wee lip and eye sticks for £5.50, and the shelf had been stocked up from the day before so the chances are there is plenty "throught the back"...the only thing is the girls who served me were mega impressed and have probably cleared the shelves themselves. The Botanic body buffer things were beside the bath mits not on the Botanic dispaly. LOads of the shimmery tan spray left, and the facial stuff. The town centre had more of the firming cream £8.50, and the £12.00 cream stuff....kind of lost the plot a bit with it all now!! I was in around 11 o clock, so good luck!
Good luck!

I tried to get the free moisturiser with reduced items and they said you couldn't have them on reduced goods.

2 mens face wash at £1.90 ea went through wit 2 free mens moisturisers so she said I could have those but wouldn't put one through for my body moisturiser.

2 out of 3 isn't bad I suppose.

SA told me that I couldn't get the free moisturiser with the clearance items too. I asked her to see if the till would accept them, then gave her one clearance item, one free item, one clearance item, one free item etc. and they all went through. I would try again and insist that they at least try.
Good luck.

How many different no7 bags (previously free with £15 spend ones) are there?

I know there's:

1. "Lips" bag £6.50; can use no7 £5 voucher to buy this for £1.50; out-of-date vouchers inside; doesn't seem to work with 2 x £5.50 suncare items as well (for free)

2. Burgundy/gold bag; can use no7 £5 voucher to buy this for £1.50; vouchers inside for 300pts on vitamins and 250 points against no7 (check that plastic tag intact so vouchers not been swiped); DOES work with getting 2 x £5.50 suncare items as well (for free as BOGOF on suncare and 3 for 2 on whole lot both kick in)

Please correct me if I'm wrong on any of the above. I'm still only a Trainee Bootser!!

BUT, other posters have referred to a pink bag and another colour as well, I think. Are these different to the burgundy bag? If there are different bags do they work with the suncare and/or no7 £5 voucher?

Anybody tried the 6 suncare items at any of the NI stores? I have 3 vouchers to use up. There were none of the botanics bars in the Belfast store. I even got a SA to go and check!

Yup, tried the 6-4-1 in Forrestside tonight and it worked. SA was very confused....

Also tried it in Yorkgate and the SA wasnt going to let me have it (wanted to do it in 2 transactions) but got bored arguing and said 'well, if the till says so then I suppose its ok'!!!

Which gift set was this? Are you saying that the Time Delay Starter Kit £5 voucher scanned for a different item.

Time Delay kit that I got was called Facial Pamper Kit and it contains a Revitalising Deep Cleaning Mask, Purifying Cleansing Balm, Intensive Restoring Treatment, two muslin cloths and a face mask brush.
I don't think that this is the correct set for the voucher, but I thought it was worth a shot as it was reduced to £4.96, so free with voucher which scanned with no problems.

In Milton Keynes there is a hidden stash of no7 suncare to the left of the tills beside the sandwiches- well away from any suspicious no7 consultants!! Be quick though cos I'm gonna fill my boots tomorrow:dance: :dance:

I think burgundy and pink bags are one in the same. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
