  • I was thrilled to get that lot!

    Can i just say,don't just look on the clearance shelf,look in the glass cabinets as that's where i found most of that!

    There's loads of stuff from £2.50,body creams etc great for Christmas presents:money:
    Our 1st baby is due 29th December 2007! :rudolf:
    I'm hopeful that this get's me out of cooking Christmas dinner!

    Baby Ruby arrived after 55 hours of labour & an emergency c section on Christmas Day at 14.41 weighing 6lb 6oz...And yes I did get out of cooking Christmas dinner!!:rotfl:
  • I made it to Boots today WITHOUT any children, weyhey!! Had a good look round, did not see anything amazing in the clearance, think most of the good stuff has gone. Got a few hairthings for DD for school and was going to pay for those with points. Noticed the lady in front of me at the till spending over £42 pounds :eek: , but she did not get a voucher. So when we got to the end of my transaction (total £5.50, paid with points) I asked if the vouchers had finished then. Oh no, she said, they're valid till Monday. Did I want one then? Uh, YES!!! Opened the till again and gave me a voucher without scanning it or anything. I was very happy to get a voucher on a points spend but felt a bit sorry for the previous customer, she may have liked a voucher too!

  • Dont think it would as the parenting voucher excludes electrical items and now that it has to be done manually i think they would notice, but, you could always try and then just play dumb if they wont put it through.

    I know that the new camera one had to be added manually but I used 20000 points on Oral B today and it scanned no problems.

    I dont think anyone has managed to get the no 7 one through since they changed the computer system over. That seemed to kill everything off. Lets us know how you get on though.
