    Just thought id add my bit-i complained about the huggies changing bag you get with the parenting voucher retail price £24.99 apparently.I was disaappointed with mine as it did not include any samples/freebies all i got was a couple of leaflets.It wasn't a moaning complaint i asked politely if they could confirm the contents as i had not got any, i have just had a lovely email back and been awarded points alot more than the cost of the nappies
    Also just saw the cost of cotton bottoms nappies-I have seen 3 boxes in the clearance in hanley and i am sure they were not liners it was a box on sale for £10 which online is expensive although i wasn't wearing my contacts i am sure it was that price.Also saw some palmer-cutler toiletries reduced to 50p.and they have 2 avent boxes left.hth

    I'm not waiting patiently for Wednesday for a trip to boots.

    as I have over £100 in points and I'm not too sure what to do with them.

    I hate spending points i always mean to save points for a treat then end up buying the treat to get more points instead.

    Oh right - I did say I was out of practice with bootsing!!! Thank you for pointing that out. So, if I bought something else first with cash to get the voucher, could I then use the voucher against the mirror and still get a wrap? The total to pay would 1p under £15 or would it take the original price for the purposes of letting you have a wrap????

    ...and could I pay with points if I was also using a £5 voucher?

    no problem, happy to help!

    if you bough something with cash to get a voucher than bought the mirror with a fiver off you might get away with getting a wrap if the till doesnt beep or the SA doesnt notice that u havent spent exactly £15 (altho the same may happen as happened with the peels when they were reduced - the till still thought you were spending the original prices before any reductions so in that case you would get it too) - but again for this transaction you cant pay with points if using the £5 off voucher

    Hello,

    I'm new to this thread but I seem to hang about in Boots every lunch time!! Just wanted to know if anyone has experience of any of the London Boots? I work next to the Carnaby St one. I managed to get a H&B magazine as they have loads left but can you only get one per card?

    Yesterday I got two mens Botanics shaving gels reduced with my voucher for only 24 pence and 100 points which I thought was a good start. I want to do the same today if I can manage to get another magazine.:j

    Is anyone saving up their points for anything special?

    What does the sanctuary cleansing balm look like? I've got a voucher that I have to use today, and I'd like to work out the best way of using it for minimal spend, on something I'll actually use!

    This is the cleansing balm it comes in a little see through box and i think it has a cloth at the bottom of the box. I found mines at the reduced section.
    Hope this helps.

    Also for anyone wondering about having to spend £15 exactly for the wrap i was 3p short yesterday and it still went through ok. (I know 3p aint much but thought i would let you all know.)

    EDITED: Can anyone tell me how much you have to spend to get the new £5 voucher. Thanks

    Wow! That's what I'm hoping to do when I get my parenting voucher (although I only applied for it last week so it might be a while before it arrives). Did you buy anything else to cover up the fact the £5 voucher was taking off £19.99, and did the SA say anything?!
