    Can anyody point me in the direction of the 'Try Me Free' thread? Its because the wilkinson sword razors are on offer in Boots - buy one and get 4 blades free. They also come with a promise, if you don't like them send them back for a full refund. I have tried searching but I have lots of glitches from the new servers and its bringing up gobbledegook!!

    Thanks in advance cos my thanks button isn't working either!!!

  • im going to try cowley retail tomorrow now. ty

    help me out girls, whats my best deal with these vouchers-

    save £3 out of the wrap bag and £3 sanctuary out of orange bag.
    i could pop in cowley centre (as tony rides round the block lol) to get a mag if that helps.

    is the fcuk offer still on ? with the free bag ?

    i tryed to use the one out the wrap today to get the pamper bag but was told no :(:confused:
  • I noticed the john frieda hair colour glaze that is advertised on tv comes with a money back guarnatee if u send off till receipt so I am off to get some tomorrow. It is about six pound so i can get another no 7 voucher and do my hair and get the money back! have to make sure u get the packs with special sticker and keep receipt.
    :j I sometimes give myself admirable advice, but am incapable of taking it.

    I've been reading this thread several times a day, but perhaps I missed something... but a great deal I've done twice now is to buy the nº7 lip and eye screen (spf25) which is BOGOF for £5.50, hand in the voucher and only pay £0.50!! 2 really stylish sun lipscreens for 50p!! :T I got them at new oxford street, since on the big boots on oxford street there was very few suncare items from nº7.

    Ps: sorry for the question again, but I don't remember reading it: perhaps someone can tell me if you earn triple points from mobile phone topups or paying with points?

    There is more than one reduced stand in the Oxford retail store - one at the front, one by the checkout and one on a shelf end at the back. They didn't have the sanctuary pamper bag today in the retail park (the shelf was empty, even though the label was there) so it might be worth phoning to check on this one - they may well restock for the weekend.
    I never got the fcuk offer from the ACM, so I didn't look at this one, although I did see some reduced fcuk body wash (down to 81p) on the stand at the back. I tried the sanctuary wrap voucher in Oxford City Centre last weekand was told no too, I didn't try in the retail park as they didn't have the pamper bag, but judging by the staff today I think you have more chance up there! They let me use all the 250pt vouchers the ACM would give me on reduced botanics in separate transactions (all under 2.00) and the guy on the other till said I could stay all day if I wanted! :)

    The Try Me Free thread is under ' Freebies ' and both the Wilkinson Sword razors and the John Freeda Hair Gloss are already noted on there. You do have to send the handle of the razor back tho when you claim your refund!!:confused:

    Hiya janed8987,

    Another Boots tart in southport then??? Was it a blonde lady called Pam who served you??? I was in this morn, 1st thing, she is lovely, she works a wed aswell. I always try and go to her if Im in Boots on her days in.

    I never saw the Sanctuary lady tho, maybe 9am was a bit too early for her?? I really wanted one of the £5 Sanctuary vouchers, to go with my £3 and ACM vouchers i need to use up. May have to go back tomorrow and see if she is there. Anyone who is wanting the Sanctuary pamper bags, and is around the northwest area, Southport chapel street has got loads of them, well, they were stocked up sky high this morn. Only 3 face & body massagers tho, and I took one of them!:p No mirrors and no pedicure sets this morn. Suncare was reduced o half price, I asked the no7 lady and she said theyre repackaging suncare for the summer.

    Slightly off topic, but I just wanted to thank all of you, who have either been kind enough to PM me, or put messages on the thread fro me. You are all very sweet and its lovely to know I am part of a friendly and supportive forum. I am proud to be a Boots Tart and be part of a great gang:beer:

  • Arrgghh.. just got home from bootsing trip and I'm :mad:

    The max factor lady had a go at me for having a box without giving me a chance to buy anything, then she wnt and got the manager and he said same, so i said well until I leave the shop Ive not stolen anything and im not doing anything wrong am i? he had to agree and shufffled off. So I'm mooching about, looking at the MF stuff and the MF girl comes over with her boss.. and she started complaining and said well, I just dont want the security guard to stop you on the way out.. I said why would he? I pay for anything I buy.. or do you think I can't afford MF or someting? No no she says, I said well stop bullying me, oh no no I don't want you to feel bullied.. but I do I said. so she says you can have the box, just leave it with me til you finish shopping so I said you know what..... keep the bloody box, I'm not going to shop here now thanks to you. Then went and found another manager and complained about them and am going to ring customer services in the morning.. they made me feel like a thief!! everyone was looking and watching and arrgghh.. it was soo embarassing.


    Oh you poor thing, how awful to be treated to appallingly (as is my spelling, I do apologise!!) I would have told her to shove it where the sun dont shine, you did well hun, definately ring CS up and complain, you go in to shop and not to be victimised, bullied and harrassed. Do Not let them put you off tho. Good luck on your phone call, let us know how you get on XX
