    I have my ebay vouchers now and I think they are probably OK ,just a little smaller than my original one but this is probably due to a different print batch.
    Also he would have disappeared if he was dodgy once people started questioning him.Scammers always do!
    I won't get to Boots til tomorrow or Saturday so I hope I am not proved wrong before then.Ive got them stuffed in my purse so they look less fresh!
    Its a shame about the parenting voucher ,I haven't used mine yet!

    Is anyone getting up for the 5am opening in Edinburgh Princess Street for P+P?
    I'll give it a miss!

    Hi
    Not been on this thread for a while and I have to say I am a bit lost. Could some one give me a brief run down of the best deals and vouchers used. Where are the vouchers from - our local store doesn't have a machine. TIA patch

    Hi Patchwork-cat
    There is a £5 off skincare and 1/2 price sunglasses double voucher given away with a £10 spend in store....but you can also buy these off Ebay to save having to spend £10. (lots of talk of them maybe being fake, but no one has yet had a problem using them!!!) You can get some things free with these vouchers as there is no minimum spend.

    HTH

    I've not been on for a while, am battling with ME/CFS, so I am not being lazy!! I've tried catching up on threads but there are so many.

    I have received my pregnancy booklet, and have 1 of the sunglasses/£5off as well, plus a £3 off Sanctuary - oh and £5 off perfume. Would really appreciate best bootsing ideas - I do not need electricals! THANKS:D

    I believe you can use the £5 skincare voucher with the £3 santuary skincare voucher to get a good deal on the Sanctuary facial range.:D

    Or you can get Roc moisturiser for 48p with the skincare voucher.:D
    Or some items from Boots time delay range end up at 50p or less.:D

    Good luck

    Anyone else tried a parenting voucher today???

    I feel for you - also got CFS and know how it feels :o To be honest, not too sure about all the best deals but I can think of a few:

    - In the pregnancy booklet, there is a voucher for a free disposable camera, these are BOGOF at the mo so you can get two free of charge!

    - The £5 off skincare can be used alongside the £3 off Sanctuary to give you £8 off any Sanctuary skincare product.

    - The £5 off No7/Jemma Kidd in the pregnancy booklet did used to give you a huge discount off No7 items (I think upto £16) but Boots seemed to have spotted this glitch and now it will only give you the £5 off as stated on the voucher. However, this can be used with the £5 skincare voucher so you can get £10 off No7 skincare if you use these together... plus all No7 is on 342!

    - There are some items in the Time Delay range that are below £5 so effectively free with the skincare voucher. I think others have mentioned a hand and nail cream, an instant eye brightener, an exfoliator and perhaps some wipes? Sorry I can't remember which one's were mentioned specifically... maybe someone can help?

    Hope you feel better soon :)
