Hi

I just checked my boots point online and it shows the points and then an entry which says

Your pending points* balance is -1179. These points aren't included in the balance shown above.

Does that minus sign mean they are going to take some points off me or is that how they always show?

thanks

I actually phoned Boots CS the other day as mine says -1930 points. She checked my account and said that i was due no pending points at all and nothing was showing on my account at all. ive been to the AC machine and it gives you nothing, so no idea what it could be!

Had a wonderful day shopping in Boots

Went to Cortonwood near Wath and was served by a lovely Sa and nothing was too much trouble for her, I took full advantage of this and played around with a few things to see if the haircare vouchers would work with other brands but no luck so far.

Bought 12 Suncare items plus vitamins and other bits and pieces and I boosted my advantage card from £26 to a massive £45!

After that I went to Barnsley where I was very pleasantly surprised as to how much stock they had.

Lots of reduced Botanics on the far left wall as you come in, from only £1.47 for deodorant ( I paid £2.95 in Wath for this ) make sure you use the 100 points voucher!

Bought more suncare/botanics/vitamins plus 4 burgundy bags and used points vouchers each time to boost my card up to a fabulous £70.85!

I did rather spoil this later on by buying 3 meal deals with points for my hungry brood but I still have £62 so not complaining

So, if you are after Burgundy bags or reduced Botanics or lots of instock suncare, go to Barnsley

Another Tyke!!!! :hello:

I dont have a Burgundy bag, I cant find one anywhere. So what I am now asking myself is this ...south london to Barnsley equals a 400 mile round trip... would this be a little excessive for the sake of a Burgundy bag??? :rotfl:

Damn, I should have done more 6 for 1s today...

Anyhoo...

Got...

2 x glossy locks
1 x No 7 shimmer puff reduced to £6.50
UG hair spray 2.99
10% off
£5 voucher
£3 voucher
was an error and somehow I was charged 30p :S Still can't work out why

2 x hair spritz
1 x No 7 sharpener
UG hair spray
Sweeties
vouchers etc
total; 44p


I'm all out of No 7 vouchers now =(
Have lots of hair coupons though.

Guys, if you use the £5 no 7 voucher and spend less than £5 they're not meant to give you the vouchers, if they do then say no more! I didn't get given any today =(. I think it's because when you do 6 for 1 the computer thinks you are paying more than £5 or something even with the voucher but if your overall transaction is smaller then it doesn';t work. SO if you want more vouchers, do 6 for 1 FIRST with a nice SA then do 3 for 1.

Only went to one Boots today only had glossy locks left and some reduced no 7 stuff.

Hi, I have seen a nice watch for OH on boots.com do the boots shops sell watches in store, I've never noticed any?

A nice freebie for anyone browsing the N07 aisle ( thats everyone I should think!)

Saw these in Wakefield shop on the top shelf in the N07 section, sign says "help yourself" to mini samples of different N07 creams so I did...
