Need some help guys. I started using no7 cleanser, tonor and moisturer (the green one) about 2 months ago and also protect and perfect. I have always ahd spot prone skin but this has got a lot worse over the past few months and I now have lots of lumps under the skin. Are they likely to take any of this back as I have 2 spare bottles of each? Any help appreciated!

I have insanely sensitive skin (post shingles) and I was told that Boots will take back any no7 product that causes trouble, also any other product labelled 'hypoallergenic'.

Now I have around £96 of points on my card. Want to get around £160 for Sony W55 digital camera (blue). After checking the price, found the cheap one (silver colour) around £116 from Amazon. Now I have three choices that so difficult to decide.

First, go for amazon one and pay the real money.

Second, collect more points from .com by buying some skincare items (e.g. 9 items of £7 skincare paying £63 and getting 4500 + 750 + 756 = 5250 pts) and top-up 2 x £20 vodaphone instore, getting 2 x 300 + 2 x 240 = 1080 pts. I have to pay £63 + £40 = £103 from my pocket -- but I will get the things I can use (esp. vodaphone top-up vouchers).

Third, spending instore during this triple points week and using several extra points vouchers I have. Plus buying top-up vouchers too. Might end up to pay more than £100.

If you were me, what would you do? Thanks.

Not sure if this has been mentioned but I had vouchers out of the AC machine for 500 points with any memory card purchase.
Plenty of mem cards in clearance between £1 & £5 including a 512mb SD card with mp3 player for £5. Most cards were compact flash but some were 64mb SD for £1.
Let me have 3 vouchers which went through OK.

Would you mind to tell me which store? I need to boost up my points. Thanks.

Ugh, Boots.com is so infuriating, nearly everytime I'm on there I end up getting a blank white page at some point, whether it be the home page or when I'm searching through things, does this happen to anyone else or does it just not like me!?

Off Topic but does anyone know of any good up to date hair style websites? I've tried searching but I only find ones with old fashionedy styles. My hair is so boring at the moment and in need of a new style.

Thanks in advance!

completely off boots topic (they do sell toni and guy stuff!!), but if you're in/near london, try the toni and guy academy at new oxford st and their advanced class, it's supposed to give you a total change in hairstyle. for just £5. I do my colour there for £15 and it is really good, sicne the instructors are great at supervising.

to keep it boots: any comments on the radiance repair time delay? I'll pass by a boots tomorrow and might give it a try using both vouchers on time delay.

The olay masks are not online, and as someone mentioned earlier (thanks) we can use the £3 voucher and the skincare one... any clues on how much it costs?

It doesn't like me either this has been happening on and off for 2 days now for me, it's so infuriating

On a good note went to boots today got 2 No7 products for mum for her b'day and qualified for the free gift. It's gorgeous and also got £5 skincare voucher and the voucher for 250 points if I buy I think 2 items more of No7

I've had 2 cuts there - one was great, one was so bad that my local T&Gs put it right for free out of sheer embarrasement. It's a good job I wan't overly emotionally attached to my then waist length, now chin level bobbed, hair!!!

I'm no where near London so probably won't be going there! I usually go to a good hairdressers near me, this is the one area for me where money saving doesn't matter, I just want it to look good! I've had it cut by the same hairdresser for years now, he's good, but it always looks the same, mainly because I'm too scared of having it drastically cut. I just feel I need a change now.

Back on topic, just found a message posted by someone else, I'm really sorry I can't remember who wrote the message now , but if you log into https://www.boots.com/login it takes you to the secure site and stops the page going blank.

Just got back from Boots and I'm really disappointed.

I had about £35 worth of stuff which I had split into separate lots - Sanctuary all together to get the free gift - the rest into lots of about £5 to get the free skincare vouchers but the Sales Assistant didn't have a clue what I was talking about and must have thought I was off my rocker with all the different wee piles of stuff.

I tried to explain, said my "sister" in Chester had been getting them - spend £5 and get a £5 voucher to spend on facial skincare. (Okay don't have a sister in Chester but I didn't want to say my pals on MSE got them - I want them!!!!)

She said she had never heard of them - must be just in English stores. Is this right? I don't see why it should be.

This was in Glasgow Sauchiehall Street Store. Any fellow Glaswegians got them in any other stores?

In the last week I've been to the Fort, Central station and Buchanan galleries and I have not had one voucher despite spending over £15 in each transaction. I get blank looks when I ask for them. Grrr.
