    My card died today, so just as I was having fun with all the sanctuary vouchers, I found I couldn't use my botanics vouchers up on reduced botanics(I am becoming obsessed by this Bootsing lark!).
    I will ring up for a new one in the morning but I have seen mention of an instant advantage card. Can I just pick one up in store and use straight away?
    i am hoping to go in the morning after taking my son to his hospital appt. I will have 3 children with me tho, so I need to have a plan of action before I get there!
  • Oh! How nausious do I feel now? I have just caught up on the thread (from last login yest morning) and seen the Times offer. Am sat in dressing gown, wondering if I dare put coat over the top, and drive to local garage?!
    Daren't! Hubby and kids in bed, and will hear door and wonder 'what the heck'?! DH already thinks I've gone Boots Doolally!!!
    If anyone has any Times voucher they think they might not use, would you like to swap it for something? A Sanctuary W/E bag, or No7 £5 voucher?
    I will pay postage!
    Have bought eye gel, microbrasion polish, and cloth cleanser so far, and am so impressed I wanted to try the oil, or moisturiser, or collagen thingy!
    HELP!
    Obsessed!

    Hiya - what is the cheapest way to get the sanctury bag?? which 2 products has everyone been getting?.

    I've got the Times voucher and the one from the chinese wrap - (any other vouchers I could use-mag/acm??)

    There have been various points vouchers from the ACM so try there. (I have had both 200pts and 150pts and used both together) Also there is £3 off sanc skincare in the mag.
    Today i used the times + £2 wrap+ 150 points and paid £1.95 for moisturiser, bag and hand wash(or 45p if you count the points in).
    There is also a £3 skincare voucher in the pamper bag, have a peek before you pay as they don't all have them in, you can see the white card behind the products.
    I have also used the 2 £3 skincare vouchers together with the wrap voucher and points. So max of £8 off + points.
    Finally there are some £5 vouchers to be had too if the store has had a demonstrator in, these were left on shelves or handed out .
    Happy bargain hunting! Its addictive isn't it.:D

    Try your newsagents early tomorrow before they send the unsold newspapers back, they might have a spare copy of the Times.

    I only saw the post myself at about 8 oclock tonight so had a mad rush round the garages etc!

    I would have been so gutted if I hadn't read this in time to take advantage of it, as it was I was kicking myself for not reading the thread earlier so I could have gone to the supermarkets etc to get loads more.

    Edit to say:
    I found 3 Times in my local garage so definitely worth popping out for on the off chance!
    Stopped smoking Jan 2007 after 23 years!
    Cigarettes NOT smoked = 240,945
    Smoke free days = 11 Years :T
    Cash saved so far = £125,45,11

    :j :j I got a facial sauna thingy!!!!!!!!:j :j
    Also found a max factor pink box :T (although not too exciting)
    Two waterproof disposable cameras
    A wrap.Which I almost forgot!!!!!

    All for peanuts!!!!!!!!!
    Did pick bits up - baby milk etc That I needed.

    No santuary bags anywhere........
    And as this computer has not been well till tonight, missed the times offer.
    Not having much luck with the santuary stuff. But well chuffed with my other bits!!!!!!!
    The facial sauna has heated eyelash curlers with it - not opened it yet and not sure if they are the same as the ones others have got on their own.

    I love Boots.
