Hi

has anyone seen a mini stepper in Boots in the Edinburgh or Glasgow areas? I have tried the Edinburgh Fort and the Gyle with no luck:o

I am def in need of one to tone up my flab!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe they only sell them on-line now but I am sure I have seen them in store in the past ( I would like to use points to pay)

Thanks for any help.

They had some of these on the shelf in my local (nottingham) but they weren't priced up, so i didn't bother. They are definately selling them instore though.

I was at boots this morning and got:

No 7 - P & P, time delay day cream and GWP - for total of £24.75 (used £7 off from ACM).

Boots Hair Straightening - £9.99 plus 300pts back

Botanics Soap - £2 plus FREE mini firming balm - used £1 off from parenting and Free mini ACM voucher.... i wish id also used the 100 pts from mag next time lol

Pantene Smooth 2 in 1 shampoo - £1.79 plus 200pts back

Olay Total effects Hand Cream, charged me £5.39 but shoud've been £4.90 something however I got 500pts back.

Always ultra - had to buy them even though i got no points, lol!

Total spend - £45.91

Pts received - 136
Kiosk offer pts - 375
Parenting club pts - 500

things i did wrong - I missed the extra 100 on botanics and i should have put them through in seperate transactions to get more vouchers back.. can anyone see anything else so i know for next time?

The 500pts olay one had to be added to my card manually it said i hadnt spent the correct amount?? but the SA added it.

couldnt find the ROC GWP.

I think they may have charged you £8 for the Time delay if you paid £24.75, it doesn't look like the £7 has came off, you could have used the £5 off voucher you get free for spending £5 and the £3 off voucher from stop smoking if it was the Rejuvinating day moisturiser, you were lucky to get the GWP usually only given when you spend £18 on No 7. My 500 olay had to be manually added on too.

In Aberdeen they are priced at £17.49 or there abouts unfortunately I don't have the strength to pick on up and carry it all the way to the car

Sorry my fault, it wasnt time delay i bought it was the no 7 p&p and a no7 moisturiser which was £15... i cant remember which one and had a look online but cant see it. It's a birthday pressie so my mam has it for tomorrow I have a feeling though it was the rejuvinating one?? I think it was in a lilacy coloured box.

Camera one didn't scan for me the other day, took three SAs to put it through. as they had to do it manually they wouldn't let me have the BOGOF camera either :mad: .

thats really helpful thank you. I'll write those down before i go tomorrow.

If I have 4 £5 vouchers is it wise to use them all in one go or shall i stagger them?

i have managed to find a 6x4 soft photo album to keep all my vouchers in and will take a piccie just now...its pink so if anyone sees me wandering round a boots in the north east with it - t'is me

If you are near a boots then it wont do any harm to stagger them. I dont stay near a boots and have 11 to use .

Lizalu - Was it the new camera voucher you tried or one of the old ones. I used my old ones last week and it went through fine but not used my new one yet.

Also my Dior sets arrived today. Going to try take one back to the shop for a refund and maybe put the others on ebay. Must say the freebie with it is nice though. Loving the little palette.

Blackpool boots has some fantastic bargains best one i've seen been on hols for a week and spent half the time in boots - had some memory cards with 500 points and loads of toys for next to nothing.
