I don't know why HUKD have said this has expired because it is there on the Boots website. Thanks Bubbs. The evil in me wonders what would happen if you tried to return one without a receipt! (I am not going to do that...)0 -

A this evening was very odd. No whoopsies at all and it didn't look as if there had been any in the first place. At the time I went there is usually something still there and crates in place if everything has gone. But I did get some milk and some tins of tuna (not the family size ones) and five U&G.

You did well at the pharmacy TM.....I did look in one today, but it was so small, there was already a customer in there, so I could hardly turn round...so gave up. I am going to a bigger pharmacy tomorrow, so am hopefully after seeing your success.
I cant complain I have done quite well out of this promotion, it is one I enjoy each year....and so glad that more elite have embraced it this year. Next year I am sure you will all have multiple cards
