    :rotfl: Now thats dedication!!!:rotfl: How wierd though I had a dream about doing that a couple of nights ago and it wouldnt scan so they checked cctv and i was rumbled for trying to buy something twice! :eek: Well done! :rotfl:
    All the wipes I have seen have been 50p, still a bargain though if you had to take one of those in.
    Well done, I had wondered if that would work.

    Has anyone been refused a Time Delay Eye Brightener? Tried to get one today and pay extra 50p, but SA was having none of it and said that it wasn't part of the offer, as it isn't classed as facial! Will try to other boots tomorrow.

    Not sure if you ave had a reply to this question as I still have 5 more pages to catch up on!!!!!

    I did not have a problem getting mine yesterday at all ~ no problems with te SA or the till. In fact I bought 2 and used my last 2 vouches up.
    HTH
  • My mission was successful today, my aim, to get another highlighter!

    My store had no tan wipes so I snuck one in, in my bag and added it to my trolley, along with a coupon and a highlighter.

    Sa looked a bit confused as am sure they have never had these for sale in that store but she still scanned them anyway, result, 25p to pay for an item I had already bought and 1 more free highlighter! :rotfl:

    LMAO thats so funny, yet so smart, didnt think something like that would work. Well done to you!!

    Not about Boots, but this just made me laugh.

    I just popped on to Ebay because I would like some perfume. Never bought from there before.
    Spotted this:- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Empty-Estee-Lauder-Perfume-Spray-Bottle_W0QQitemZ300192037190QQihZ020QQcategoryZ39498QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    Had to laugh, they've put a 'starting bid' of £5 and postage costs of £3.50 on an empty bottle!! I bet some silly person will bid for it, without realising its empty!!

    Absolute total dedication, LOL. Well done, great initiative.

    Lots of you are going for the Time Delay items with the coupons. Which are must haves IF ANY at all?

    Thanks

    I came accross this person when looking for the dolls house, i was thinking exact the same! Quite a few boots sale items for sale

    How weird.

    My sister caught her eye on this ebayer as she was selling the tena lady and the dolls house. I think we both know who it is and YES she does come on MSE.

    I have been too busy to come on here but I did order the xbox but it got cancelled. I also ordered the ELC fire station but that got cancelled to. Interestingly it only allowed me to put 1 in my basket as there was no more. I tried to order 2 (one as a present).

    Oh my God!!
    I did this last week. I took 3 with me in my bag that I bought for 3 for 2 at 50p each. I only had to use one in the first Boots and nobody batted an eyelid. Sa just said what a bargain. Second store had loads of tan wipes at 25p so I went around about 4 times and got one each for my sister and my quiz friends. Off tommorow to use up my Skin care vouchers and the remaining 4 Highlighter coupons. Still got Boots parcels coming even though lots of goods that I though I bought did not come. My OH was really pleased with his Pizza Stone set, it was £3.75 down from £15.oo and had a pizza stone and stand, a wheel cutter, a small grater and a jar of olives and a jar of sun dried tomatoes. All in a lovely wooden box. Now I must remember not to break this one. I am so glad I am not the only mad bootser, paying twice for something!! I really wanted a Badger Balm set but never managed it. I did get a Hoxton Hotel £1.00 room though!!

    Just out of interest has anyone had anything dispatched or delivered from the last couple of days of .com sales?

    seems there are lots of cancellation emails and wondering if there is anything there in the beginning..

    Your post made me chuckle - then I got to thinking - can you imagine their next stock check.
    Manager on phone to head office saying something like this:

    "Yes I KNOW we only ordered 100 tan wipes but HONESTLY we've sold 1000 of them - No, I can't understand it either??????"

    By the way I must be the only person who hasn't managed to get a highlighter yet - I tried with the tan wipes but sa said :naughty:
