Chris at photo counter knows about it - I got one from her yesterday, told her they were old stock and that liverpool street were getting rid of them. Showed her a receipt as well, so she put it through, I went in today, and she reconised me, and refused the offer, so I accepted it. Pharmacy counter girls all knew about it yesterday, the tall blonde girl keeps catching me. Is there actually an MF girl? Never seen one, and i've wanted assistance there before.

Edit - not forgotton about you ladies that want boxes I shall try again, there's stil at least 20 there, and might travel to another store on my days off on my travelcard, just need to change my image... and coat/scarf

Hi Cerenia, I got served at the pharmacy yesterday about 5 o/c. The lady that served me was the tall lady with the brown shoulder length bob (been served by her loads of time and she is really nice). The tall blonde girl was there with her. There was a lady manning the mf stand when I left and I remember seeing a younger girl there last Saturday. Funny what you said about changing your image. A couple of weeks ago I went into the same store once in the morning then again in the afternoon and when I went in the afternoon I made sure I wore a different coat and didn't wear a hat! How mad is that!

She caught me when I went on my first time!! You'll probally see me, I usually wear a long black velvet coat/red lining with white/gray/black freckled furry scarf (one or other usually), varying on time GAME let me loose. Is the Ruby and Millie lady also the MF one? i'll eaither wear scarf or coat, but I'm going to wash and straighten my hair and leave it loose with a different jacket next week - not seen another velvet jacket around romford! Pam on photo counter, she served me thursday lunch, very nice and friendly, and was talking about the offer. Bit miffed all 3 a/c machines havn't been working for 3 days. But i'm off today so shall most likely go to waltham cross store to meet other half from work.

Edit - And one of the security guys seems to reconise me now, he looks at me and walks over to the clarins desk watching MF XD Think its the long coat sleeves, but admittedly had 3 boxes, which have/are being given away

I still don't get any decent offers on the AC machine, people talk about freebies but all I seem to get are bogof offers etc

I go into my offers and store offers just to check hopefully they'll pick up soon.

does anyone know if i buy someting and use a voucher... can i pay the extra on my ac card? like even say if i buy the botanics lipbalm, use the 100pts voucher... it would ask for 99p...could i use my ac card for that ?

No sorry items paid for with your ac card points need to be paid in full 7 you can use discount ouchers. So you couldnt use your discount voucher or gain points on anythin bought with your ac points..

Doubt very much if they will let you take back foundation for swap or refund.

They are strict on no 7 refunds (cosmetics).

They are, but the newer foundations have a seal, so you can prove you've not used it. I'd grovel and say you bought your mum the wrong shade.

Hi littlemissnaughty, did you manage to get one of theses boxes? I was at C6 at lunchtime today. I picked up a red box and went over to the photo counter as I had some photos to pick up. I got some cold and flu tablets and a L'oreal shave gel too, but the vigilant lady on the photo counter (Athena) said that the box was a free gift with a £15 MF spend, so she put it to one side. I just said 'Oh, I didn't realise.' So I had to come away without one

no too chicken will try on monday if still have them :rotfl:

The till doesn't flag up that you can only have the box free with a MF purchase, ie it just puts it through as £0.00. As long as you disguise it with other purchases and the SA doesn't know the details of the offer, it should go through as free with no problems.

Thanks for that. For those of you in North London there are tons of these in the Wood Green store...

I also noticed yesterday the boots cold lem sips have been charged on my receipt at £1.99 but the Shelf Edge Label definitely still said 99p, Bearing in mind I did get the 100 points is it worth complaining?

Yes, I would take them back - do you have other things on your receipt, then even better as it would disguise it a bit. But even if not, an overcharge is an overcharge, regardless of how many points they give you. (Got my Tesco RnR head on!!)

I'd get back quick before someone else has been overcharged and they've updated the shelf edge label!

Hi Thought I would just mention that the womans skincare voucher works with the sanctuary spa 200 points from ad m/c so if you purchase the wipes @ £4.95 deduct £2.50 and get 200 points back on your card in effect making the wipes 45p
