    hi ad bad day at boots 2day. used my vouchers up. i picked up the no7 lotion buy 1 get 1 free and the sales assistnat said i can only buy one product and use the voucher so i only got one sun tan lotion.

    then in my second transaction i picked some sale no7 items up and the sa assisnt said i can only have one item for £1.50. i picked 3 £1.50 items up and only got 1

    in my third transaction i tried to use the voucher on electrical and the sales assisnt said can only use it on make up

    then i spent another £5 in store so was intiled to another voucher and the SA didnt give me one. so i asked the sales assisnt where is my vouvher and she said rudely we ran out.

    i hate goin to boots and getting treated like dirt. each time i went to the till i was goin to a differetn sales asistant to and the where all offish with me.

    Hello all!

    Good day today! I had 6 No7 vouchers to spend so got the following:

    No7 suncare £6.00 so £1.00 to pay
    No7 concealer £6.75 so £1.75 to pay
    Ruby & millie makeup bag £8.00 so £3.00 to pay
    Ruby & millie make up brushes got 3 different one's which should have come to £16.50 but with my 3 vouchers i only had to pay £2.00 :D
    A good day in all & all stuff that i needed!
    Our 1st baby is due 29th December 2007! :rudolf:
    I'm hopeful that this get's me out of cooking Christmas dinner!

    Baby Ruby arrived after 55 hours of labour & an emergency c section on Christmas Day at 14.41 weighing 6lb 6oz...And yes I did get out of cooking Christmas dinner!!:rotfl:

    Out of the new Sanctuary Skincare range, what do people recommend?
    Only got 1 Times voucher, so don't want to waste it.
    Thanks in advance

    I'm sorry if this has already been mentioned, but in my local Boots at lunchtime there were gift cards by the tills with the cardboard bit advertising that if you put £20 onto them you'd get a free pampering treatment. Has anyone else seen this, and if so do you know what the pampering treatment is?

    Since I'll spend £20 in Boots pretty easily, I was wondering if it were worth doing.

    Thanks :)

    The sanctuary £11.95 24hr protective moisture lotion is fab and the most expensive item allowed on the times voucher so i would recommend that.
    Love can tame the wildest

    Tbh i think the whole range is quite good! Although i have not tried the macro polish thingy yet. I really like the moisturising lotion as it leaves the skin really really smooth, and is really good as a night treatment as well.

    I dont particularly like the charcoal mask, but that is because it is more designed for oilier skin i would say but i dont have that so i wouldnt buy again.

    The collagen boosting mask also leaves the skin really soft, and depending on your age (i really really dont want to sound rude here) but my mum used it and she is in love with it, so i would also recommend this along with the cream.

    the hot polish cleanser is also good, really similar to Liz Earle but at a fraction of the price.

    If i was you I would go for one of the things that you think you would use the most. If you have alot of cleaner, try the moisturiser or vice versa!

    Hi eveyone, now that I stocked up on Nº7 and Sanctuary, it's time for me to move on to... Clinique. The offer in store with bonus package full of samples is really nice (buy 2, get gift), but it is a bit pricey... Online there is a 750 pts with any 2 clinique, but no free gift. Hummm

    I don't have any other offer for Clinique, as some of you have. I tried enrolling on their mailing list with the SA today at Oxford Street Boots, but she was not very nice and told me to do it online. :mad: Did it take a long time for the mailings to start after you enrolled?

    The creams are for the summer, so I don't have an absolute need to buy them now... so I turn to your money saving tips for the best way to get the most out of the clinique offers.
    Thanks.

    That is horrendous! :eek:
    Report them to CS for every single one of those things because they are completely utterly wrong! Even if they have run out of vouchers they don't need to be rude about it and the other things you were told were complete hogwash (polite way of putting it).
    If you ring CS I suspect they'll give you some AC points to apologise and probably suggest you take your receipt to the store and claim the suncare you are OWED!
    Thank god most Boots don't treat us like this!
    If a post is helpful to you, please take a second to click "thanks", it makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside! :)
