    Hi....went in to use my last No 7 voucher. I got:

    No7 Age rewind Foundation £13.50
    No7 Mascara £9.50
    No7 H Quench £0.00 (3 for 2)

    I gave SA red no7 voucher £5, No7 £5 from mailing, 300 points for no7 f/dation from AC, 200 points for no7 f/dation mailing I received and 250 no7 Hydra Quench from wrap and double points voucher. So I paid £13.00 and received 800 points.

    But then the SA said the till did not take off the £5.00 voucher from mailing so I kept quiet and she gave it back to me. The £5 was taken off but as its been scanned do you thing I can use it again. Thanks.

    lucky you! yes you can use it again as standard barcode i believe,just check sa hasnt crossed through it

    Hi all,

    I just went to the Boots in the Victoria Street shopping centre in London and they had quite a few discounted items:

    FCUK Mens Body Wash
    No 7 Foundation
    No17 Make up bits mainly lipglosses
    Sun Cream
    Holiday Skin type stuff not Johnsons (Ambre Solaire I think)

    And lots more stuff I can't remember.

    I resisted all except £1.50 No17 make up remover wipes as I don't need it!

    Hopefully some of you can get there and snap up some bargains
    xx

    Go for it!! I have put my 2 tiny 5ml samples on Ebay. Its all about supply and demand...and I know I need the money far more than I need anti-wrinkle cream :D

    Thanks for the great idea, think I will try mine later tonight :)

    I grabbed a flyer off the NO7 desk today.

    It basically says if you visit your consultant for a free consultation between 25/4 - 22/5 & take along the coupon to claim 100 points WYB any no7 moisturiser.

    Yesterday I was moaning that the person who lives in the flat above mine got one of the Boots mailings with the vouchers, and I didn't. Well, I still didn't get one in the post this morning, but....on my way out I saw that she had thrown hers in the recycling box!!! So I of course nabbed it, and I'm now in possession of one :j It can't be stealing if someone's thrown it away, surely!

    Now going to browse boots.com for the cheapest 'Boots brand cosmetic brushes / sponges' and 'Boots mystique razor' to see if theres anything good to use the 100points vouchers for.

    Cs just rang back again, the store manager is off now until after easter, but just typed out a lovely long letter which should hit the target. Just need to get it printed off, get a photocopy of the letter the manager sent me and get it posted off (recorded delivery!). Will be a few weeks before i get a response, but i can wait!

    Cs tried to give me points but i wasnt having it, i want to bide my time. I should've let them though, just to see how many there was. Im trying to set up a charity group here and have put that in the letter so maybe they will be nice and give that charity payment in lieu? Keeping my fingers crossed. Its a huge national charity btw. Havent asked for anything however, they should be able to see all i want is an apology.

    I got some vouchers in the post today which i thought was funny considering the week ive had, £5 no.7 and 2xdouble points, and a bunch of other vouchers which are no use. I ticked myself onto the mailing list online, as i never used to get any vouchers, except for parenting club ones.

    I received my first parenting club mailing with the little book of treats last week. I have just edited my details in the advantage card bit online to 'leave the parenting club'. I checked that this had worked and then I re-joined it with a new due date of August 2007 (i.e. pre-28 weeks).

    My idea is that this may generate a new mailing with another little book of treats - assuming it is done by computer and not human beings. Has anyone tried this before?
