How can I learn about a women's refuge in my area or where to leave a shoe box of treats? Could I leave one at a charity shop? TIA

I'm not sure that at charity shop would sell on toiletries from an unknown source. But if you google "women's refuge" and the name of your nearest town, it will bring up details of local refuges.

Thinking about stuff we took to the women's refuge, does anyone remember the days of the Boots "cucumber" soaps etc, where they paid you more than their cost in points to take them away. I think it was something like 150 points for a 70p purchase. Ah, those were the days, quite a long time ago now!! My dh got bagfulls and it was so embarrassing. Then, I got the bug and now it's me that does the bootsing!!!

kippygirl that was kinda like the botanics glitch where you bought the soap for 99p and got a £6.99/£8.99 moisturiser free! Was great and im still working through the mountain of soaps and still have a mountain of moisturisers too!! :T

sorry soozy cant help. but wanted to know what the meal deal offer is

Boots have started an offer where if you buy 5 Meal Deals in a month you get the 6th one free. For some reason February started on the 29th of January as far as Boots were concerned!

Has anyone else had any issues with the Meal Deal offer? On Friday my best friend bought his 4th Meal Deal since the offer started (using my AC) and the receipt was updated to say so. Then he bought the 5th today but the receipt says he's only bought 1. We only noticed when we'd left the store so I phoned up the helpline but the lady I spoke to wasn't much help and said it might be a problem with my card (even though my points are all ok on the receipt) or the terminal. She said we should talk to the people in store, but I'm not sure they really have the ability to correct the total on my card.

Was it his 5th meal deal since 29/1? or even from 1/2? Might be that new month came and went back to 0

Just wondering exactly what time .com boots updates am desperate for the psp but i have never seen it in stock. Have and of you regulars that check the site earlier in the morning seen it in stock? Is it worth me setting the alarm for 5am to try and get it or is it likely going to be out of stock for good??

I noticed today that the psp game that has been out if stock for a while is now instock hope for the psp console then???

It seems to update between 5.15am-5.45am but Boots have been putting a few items on throughout the day. They have just put back on a Creative ZEN Vision M: 30GB MP3 / Movie Player but must have only had a couple in as it disappeared from my basket!

Is the sanctuary GWP only in store? Can see the L'oreal one on the site but not the sanctuary one.

Also, had the small round gift boxes on Sanctuary in the sale, does anybody know if there are any vouchers inside as I cant open them without spoiling them but dont want to give them as presents with out of date vouchers. Have the same problem with the no7 facial gift sets but am keeping one of those so i'll find out if anything inside gives me away lol.

You don't have a hope of getting a PSP. They are definitely sold out and did within minutes of it going on sale at the reduced price.

Got my glitch today!! Hooray!:j
Finally built up enough courage to grab the High Lights powder, Dream Lash Mascara and GWP from the No 7 counter and head to the electricals desk!

Handed over my £5 voucher, Free Highlights powder voucher and 100 extra points for the mascara and 75 points for a £10 spend from ACM. Total £5 to pay! and 175 points!

Tried the No 17 glitch -
At the ACM machine I had a voucher for 2 eyeshadow pots normally £2.79 each - 2 for £5 thought great! Chose 2 and the free lip palette on offer with No 17 purchase and the 100 points from magazine - another SA wouldnt allow me to do this - Is that right???:mad: I had spent £5 on the No 17 products so should of be able to had the free gift as there was nothing stating this on the ACM voucher - I handed it all back to her and said I didnt want any of it! She was definately not going to let me have it and tried charging me £5.78 (I know its only 78p but its the principle!) LOL
