    I had a pretty good trip to London Colney this morning. They still have loads of magazines - the SA didn't even scan mine so no problem getting it. They only had one lot of tills open and I was a little worried about getting the same SA again so didn't try for another one.

    They also had lots of the red MF boxes - along with a computer printed sign saying 'free gift with £15 spend'. I wasn't brave enough to get one, but then I wouldn't really use the contents anyway.

    Also, they still had lots of Cot booklets by the pharmacy including the pink ones.

    My purchases were as follows:
    2 x Sanctuary charcoal mask (the last 2 in the store!) - £1.08 + 100points using my ACM voucher.
    2 x mini photo albums £5 after BOGOF - I'm going to use these as wedding presents for 2 sets of friends of mine who are marrying soon, filled with pictures of them.

    And I earned a new voucher.

    2nd transaction:
    Sanctuary mum to be gift bag - I've been looking for this for ages for my best friend's wife, didn't realise it would be in the baby section! - £10
    Sanctuary hand cream - £4.95 (will go towards my stepmother's birthday present of Sanctuary goodies)
    Sanctuary bodywash - free on 342 - a little treat for me.
    2 x Garnier mask sachets - 8p after skincare voucher.
    1 x new skincare voucher

    I used the pink cot voucher (200 points for £10 sanctuary spend) but the points haven't been added which is very annoying. I don't want to have to call to ask for the points - is there any way I can email instead? And if so, what's the address?

    Thanks, Susie.

    The pregancy items seem to be seperate from most other sanctuary offers and usually dont go through on a 3 4 2. Maybe because it was a pregancy item it would have been eligable for the cot points but I do have one here and it doesnt mention any exclusions.They are very friendily at boots & if you phone up they might be able to tell you why.The email address details are here but they only seem to have an email address for boots.com and a telephone for advantage card. They might pass your email on but phoning would probably be best.

    Thanks Cat. I did phone in the end and after about 6 minutes on hold listening to Kylie I got through to a lovely lady who's added the points for me. I just have to pick them up from the machine :D

    Boots in Northampton (Sixfields) have reduced all of their packets dried fruit and nuts. Long Best Before dates on. Handy for lunchboxes etc....

    Yaaaaaaay, I bagged a red MF box at Bluewater last night. Plenty left and no SA nearby to warn me off. Bless those saturday girls/boys on the tills - didnt bat an eyelid.

    Sets of MF brushes in black cases also on offer, but I wasnt sure what the deal was on those - anybody know?

    Does anyone know if you can get Boots points on spectacles from them?

    I would check this out first because
    nearly two years back when we got
    specs in Boots they said they no longer
    gave points,which we were not pleased about
    as we could have gone to Tesco and got
    points there instead,perhaps things have altered
    since we were there last and we did go to a Boots
    opticians that was a shop on its own,not based in
    a Boots store,perhaps these have a different policy.

    Got the new magazine in it there
    is a coupon for 250 if you use the
    1 hour digital or regular photoprocessing(not sure of spelling)

    it says nothing about the amount of
    pics you have to order,so I wondered if it
    would work if you ordered 1 pic and used
    the voucher.How much is one 4x6 or 5x7
    pic to get developed,anyone know ?
    As this could be a good points builder
    there is no mention of the limit of pics and no
    exclusions either.

    Likewise the Sanctuary one £3 off
    no mentions of any exclusions.

    Just thinking ahead as these offers
    start 28th Feb

    Hi there

    I am not sure how many people know you can buy all of your domestic appliances from BOOTS :j (washing machines - cookers - fridges etc etc!!!) Points on everything and the prices are very competitive!

    http://www.bootskitchenappliances.com

    I bought a washing machine at the end of Jan and it was £145.00 cheaper than the high street shops and I got £31.50 worth of points!! :T (double points promotion was running)

    I only found this out when I typed into Google the make and model I was looking for.

    A great way to boost your points if you are planning to renew any appliances.
    :)I used to have a life............................... before MSE!!

    Oooh a new Sanctuary voucher - excellent :D Is there a minimum spend?

    I'm afraid don't know how much pictures cost to be developed. The ACM is also giving a voucher for 150 points when you buy 20 or more 7x5 digital photos at the moment - I'm not sure if that would work in combination with the magazine voucher?
