    anybody know if there are any of the new mags in the preston area? or the MF boxes?? i'm starting to think these dont actually exist....

    I was in fishergate store yesterday there were no mags and the SA said that he hadn't seen them come in. There was only 1 ACM working.

    I got MF boxes from there about 3 weeks ago but didn't see any yesterday.

    I think she's after a picture of the No7 Weekend bag (which is not on the Boots website), and not the Sanctuary Weekend bag! I havn't seen the No7 one in my store either, but from people's descriptions it does sound lovely.

    opinions please?is it better to spend £15+ to get the triple points or do sep trans for the £5 vouchers...also there's a discount in the blue COT thats still valid for joining the weight loss plan-wonder if that'll be tripled too & how much it costs..

    i personally would do 3 transactions to get 3 no7 vouchers, worth £15. triple points would be worth £1.80.
    Extra points coupons do not get tripled :0(

    Just wanted to say thanks to the person, (sorry can't remember who it was:o ), who mentioned putting a 'wanted' post on Freecycle for Boots No 7 vouchers. I did this and have so far received 10 of them :j . Have collected some locally, some people have been happy to post them to me, (I promised to make a small donation to charity in lieu of the postage), and have sent SAE's for a couple.

    Now thinking of doing similar for the £5 Sanctuary vouchers!

    if this is the silver £20 one there is a piccie earlier on as I posted about it and someone replied. Searched but cannot find it now.#

    It's silver grey and behind the No 7 counter in case anyone pinches it I think and I wasn't that impressed really it has several mini products but no coupons and I paid £10 as it had been opened bit all contnets there. The sanctuary free bag is much better!

    Whoops, sorry :(
    Today i managed to pick up some sanctuary skin wipes @ £4.95 - cashier manually overide the £3 voucher in the magazine and also accepted the 200 point voucher from the acm machine. So paid £1.95 and recieved 200 points!

    No7 lip gloss reduced from £6 to £3, so picked up 2 and used the £5 no7 voucher - thus paid £1 for originally £12 worth of products.
