I went to westwood in se kent today.. had mf boxes

Tried to pay for a box with a reduced mf product but til wouldnt accept it so lady went off to check and came back to say had to spend £10. so i said i would go and check what else they had.
Decided to go to another till with a lovely young man and pay with cash instead. He said he thought it may be a certain spend offer but he would try it 4 me n if it worked he would let me have it. Of course it worked. He asked if there were anymore left i said yes but only 2....Think he wanted a cheap valentines pressie.
So got 1x Botanics wipes(49p), 1 mf box(free), 1 mf lipgloss thing(2.24) = £2.73 spent +108 points recieved
wasnt brave enough to try without buying something max factor.

oh forgot to mention as the store i went in doesnt have a mf counter they were perched on the no7 counter, had to hover around until the no7 sa was serving then grab one. lol

(security guard was looking at me funny as my daughter was asking what we were doing)

Yay! Took a tedious packed tube trip to Liverpool St after work.. I never knew the Boots there was that big... it's not exactly huge (tight packed aisles) but plenty of stuff! Must've circled the place twice before spotting the boxes and plain as day putting one of each colour in my basket. Took an age to find other stuff to try and conceal it, but needed some nailpolish so that worked (neither were MF). SA was bemused, but accepted it. Tried another glyco peel set (shelf label had £16.50) with wrap, it scanned at £8.25 but wouldn't let me have the wrap, so i declined it. Had to try

Glad you managed to track down the MF boxes:j Liverpool Street is to far for me to get to:( Has anyone found any in central London? there must be some on Oxford Street...surely?

Hiya guys!! hope you all had a good day getting bargains.
My friend also got her parenting vouchers through today and they have changed - I just had a thought about the £5 off on a no7 product - do you think this can be used with BOGOF on suncare (2X£7.50) items...meaning you pay £2.50 and get the free wrap??? any thoughts??

They're on the same shelf as the facial wipes in my local Boots (Camberley), just the opposite end to the shelf iyswim!

my sister used her £5 parenting no7 voucher on the £8 dermobrasion no7 set and it went through as 0.00. then the same voucher sent to her partner on the no7 wipes and they went through as 0.00 so it looks like its still letting higher price items through for free. :T no free wrap though but not complaining when it went through for nothing

Hi went to Gemini today and there were about 25 of these on display. I only got one - too timid to try for more than one at once. Hth someone.

I too went to Westwood cross, Did manage to get a Red MF :j box along with the Smile 342 & few other things with the £2.50 mens vouchers, had to go to the main counters & the MF box went through NO Probs :T
Only problem was the security guard followed me around with my 6yr old & then stood by the counter while I paid :mad: I'm glad its not just me! We should call CS & complain, maybe they will give us some extra points :rotfl:
