    God can you imagine your OH's bro getting married? You have to list your full names :rotfl:

    I am ok, got home about 10.30am and got in shower (which was heaven), had food, slept for a few hours and just about to head off to bed again.

    I was sober last night as had to get up at 6am to pack up and get coach at 8.30 plus didn't want to need a wee during my 2 fav bands playing :p

    Don't think i will go next year though, done it 3 years in a row now and need a break or if i do go again i am taking a campervan!

    Well today i popped to Asda to post off my ebay parcels (they have a post office next to them) not bad came to £3.38.

    Walked round Asda with my mum, when a Wii game caught my eye! ...Land rover off road with a free racing wheel included only £19.70!!! Bargin as game sell it for £32!! So i thought as i got £12 for that rubbish game i sold this game would only really be costing me £8 so i snapped it up! ;)

    While walking round Asda i had a missed call as didnt get to my phone in time, i called it back and it was a recorded message saying it was Daily Telegraph and they will call back...i hope its a win! As i enter comps on there website. Unless there trying to sell me something, which they have phoned MSE'ers onhere before to do.

    Then went to boots again to use up my vouchers and had a great shop!!

    1st shop

    No7 Super Slim Anti Cellulite Balm £5.00
    Time Delay face scrub for men £4.39
    x2 John Frieda Colour Glaze For Honey Blondes REDUCED to £1.75!!! from £6.99!!!

    Used
    Skincare voucher £5 off
    No7 £5 off
    £2 off John frieda colour glaze

    Total to pay £1.50!!!!:D :D

    2nd shop

    Time Delay face scrub for men £4.79
    No7 Super Slim Anti-Cellulite Balm £5

    Used
    Skincare voucher £5 off
    No7 voucher £5 off

    Total to pay £0.00!!!:D :D

    I couldnt believe my luck that the colour glazes were down to £1.75 as i was going to buy one anyway as i had my voucher and had the sigh that said all John Frieda £3.49!

    So only spent £1.50 there.

    AND... did just one hour extra at work today.:D

    Oooo i hope that Daily Telegraph call was about a win, a bit win maybe seeing as they are calling you? :-)

    Wow what a good shop in Boots. I didn't realise you could buy stuff that is under £5 with the £5 facial vouchers. I picked up some bits all under £5 that had the sign saying i could use the voucher, yet i didn't because i wasn't sure i could. I'm def going back tomorrow then LMAO. 4 free items is good for my pressie box.

    The game in Asda sounds like a good buy, give it a play and if its rubbish sell it. We do that with games on PS3 and Wii.

    Maria with the skincare voucher and the mag, just looked at the mag and it says cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer, is that correct? i hate going to the till and feeling like a !!!! when they tell me i can't use the voucher lol.

    Thanks for the links, just cutting out all my boots mag vouchers now. Normally i just chuck the mag away once reading it, i won't be doing that from now on..

    No it doesnt matter they scan through no problems. They say that on all coupons but the SA's just scan them.

    If you buy something for free say Time Delay under £5 with the skincare voucher also give them the 200 points on Time delay from the mag. Then there paying you £2 in points to take the item away! ;):D

    I and all the MSE's on boots thread hand over handfuls of coupons at the same time. and never have no problems, just try not to go to the older wmen on tills. The young boys are best to go too! Oh and dont go to the no7 ladys they always snotty.

    Dont forget to put your card in the advantage card machine as well for more points vouchers! :)
