Quick question...

Pampers New Baby nappies, the cheapest are £3.74, and the PA vouchers say i would get a free bag, now the bag is a bag, ideal for travelling eh, now what i like to know, what can i do with the nappies, anyone have any witty and funny ideas?

Smirks...I don't have a man anymore, nor do i have a pet of any kind, so what can i do with mini nappies LOL!

And do i need to stick out my stomach when i go ask the SA for my free PA bag?

I kept the nappies for when i have another baby. Or could you give them to a friend who has had a baby? Even hand them into the doctors.

Here is a good deal....

Boots Spa Sea Salt Scrub Now £3.99 (Was £7.99) </SPAN>

http://www.boots.com/shop/product_details.jsp?productid=1003865&classificationid=1039385

It's probably not nationwide sheahoney, but that Salt Scrub was on the Clearance in Prospect Centre Hull for £1. That said, I tried to get the lid off earlier and failed :rotfl: so maybe that's why?

I read your long posts and thanked you, but I couldn't add to them all unfortunately. But thanks again for posting them

i got 2 face powders much to the discust of the sa as the face powder went through with a 50p face wipe. I purchased these from the Boots at COLTON in Leeds they have plenty of mags in there so go help yourself but can i just say as its eating me away now, THE STAFF ARE EXTREAMLY RUDE!!! in fact i have been using that store for over 3 years now and their attitude to customers as appauling I now have got myself that mad im mad as mad can be now!!! should I make complaint??

I had a similar experience today in the Edinburgh, Princes Street branch when a miserable SA by the name of Yvette obviously didn't appreciate serving someone who only wanted the free Olbas paper tissues and the H&B magazine!!! What possible difference can it make to these people what the customer is buying and what the cost is? Her whole attitude was appallingly offhand though she did have plenty to say to the SA standing next to her............one to avoid!

As the sale is virtually at a standstill now I doubt that there will be many more days of early morning chat, I think everybody's fed up of getting up at 5am for wrapping paper and tags judging by some of the posts and personally I think these girls need to get a decent nights sleep or 2 so they can get back out bootsing in store proper!:rolleyes:

Maybe they can use the TD eye brightener to get rid of the bags under their eyes getting up so early every day:rotfl:
I only did it once on Saturday am and I was horrified at the black bags under my eyes while sitting at the hairdressers on Saturday afternoon!:eek:

Had to get out my Protect and perfect,TD line smoother ,TD eye brightener and TD nightime serum to repair the damage:rotfl:

I love this thread and the chat,although I admit once I am back to work it will be harder to keep up but I'll just have to speedread:rotfl:

I am off to boots now ,driving myself for first time after my operation so wish me luck. I hope to get some Sanctuary and GWP ,No7 with GWP and maybe some Soap and Glory...........or maybe some 17 with GWP ...............or even some Max Factor and GWP............................can you tell I don't get out much?

I thanked you twice Bright*Idea, i noticed in our stores all is left is wrapping paper and tags, i say bin the lot of it, and use the shelves for some more bargains!

crazyposhgal - sounds like a plan!!!

Passion8 - I thanked you too!

Ljw - I have also noticed how rude they are, it winds me up, boots give out vouchers to make more money, and the vouchers are a tender of money, so why the staff get upperty i have no idea, you should remind them, that you keep the SA in a job!

dotchas - have fun!!!

bright idea, i will actually do that, i suppose our Hope Hospital when they were going to close the maternity ward down, so i shall go drop them off at the unit.

rubylou - i heard a few SA saying they got the bargains for themselves, now why is it that boots allow SA to get them in working hours, is that right?

Ruby awwwwwwwww do they use them at the dogs home?

duh blonde moment!

I would actually ring customer services, and report this! we are after all paying customers that although use the vouchers also spend alot of money to keep Boots SA in work, it riles me up bad service!!!

I actually had a parcel from boots dot com, and it arrives weeks to late for christmas, so i took it to the Radcliffe branch, and they said sorry we cannot refund here, so they told me to post it with the freepost form on the invoice, i said i rather not do that cos royal mail always lose large parcels, now i say this on experience, and they got the manager, again said no sorry we cannot do it here. So i took it to the post office, i put on a recorded delivery stamp too, just incase it got lost, and i also in black marker put to and from addresses on the box, so it did not get lost, AND IT WAS LOST, 3 weeks later still Boots have still not received this box. So Boots customer service, a nice chap, said because of the treatment i received from Radcliffe Manager and SA's, that he would refund me the cost which was £40 plus!

So they are really strict on bad service from their SA's, it looks bad on them, and they are in it to make money, and SA's they are ten a penny!!!

Customers are valuable!!!

Eh next time you blow your nose on your free tissues think of Yvette!!! LOL!
