    Aesop.....................and anyone else with Boots "Big Balance"..........

    http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/boots-75-sale-starts-tomorrow-1115102

    Evening all.......:)

    I don't have a big boots balance, try £1.75 :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: anyway after last year of standing outside my local store at 8.45am, and not doing it this year. Need to sell what I have without getting any more clutter. :D

    Went to M's earlier for a bit of a womble and couldn't find one receipt, never mind one for £40+. Stop being so tidy please.....

    Just curious, why are you doing this? If its for the 6p off a litre of petrol don't you also need a voucher to accompany the £40 receipt (TV ad small print suggested you need voucher and itemised receipt)?

    I presume the voucher is given out at point of sale and these are unlikely to be discarded along with a qualifying receipt IMHO.

    I also guess they have introduced this because stacks of vouchers seem to end up on ebay from time to time (presumably from staff slipping a pad in their pocket). By only making them valid with a receipt they are tightening up on any possible abuse

    Haven't posted for ages just reading and lurking! So, Happy New Year to you all. :)

    Things were rather hectic with DD2's birthday just before Christmas and our huge family get togethers over Xmas and New Year. Then I picked up a horrible bug that wiped me out for over a week.

    DH had a great time watching the rugby at Twickenham on 27th with the tickets I won. Also used the free credit I got earlier in the year from Red Spotted Hanky to pay 2/3 of the train ticket.

    Not been very successful with my wombling. My ASDA is just across the road from a YMCA so I think the residents keep the car park pretty clean!

    Did get some large bags of Kettle crisps in Sainsburys last night reduced to 20p.

    Happy Belated Birthday to Blue :beer:
