Snap i only ordered 2 things but both being delivered tomorrow! Really didn't think i would get the "My first basketball"

Mine still says 'processing' even though I paid for next day delivery.

I made a few orders the day before though and a lot of that has either arrived or is on it's way, still had 3 things cancelled (R&M ultimate collection, scalextric & ELC Fairyland)

Clare+3 - if you want to pm someone then click on their name on the left hand side of the post and it brings up a box with 4 options in it. Click on send a private message to ***** and away you go.

To read private messages click on private messages that is almost at the top of the page.

I would do a screen shot which helps to explain but I don't know how to.

Hope that helps you and anybody else who doesn't know how to PM

I spotted some NIVEA Visage Anti-Wrinkle Q10 Eye Cream hiding on a reduced shelf!!!!! £6.79 down to £3.20.

Thought I'd chance it for the extra points - even tho the barcode was scribbled over and a reduced sticker on them!

Took one to the till with a Nivea Q10 lip balm, and got the extra points for the eye cream but not the lip balm. I did argue that my lips that I would be using this on were actually on my face and therefore it should qualify as facial skincare - but no luck.

So............. went back and got 5 more eye creams and asked if I could return the lipbalm and buy them!!! She cocked up the transaction, scanned 7 eyecreams, then realised she'd overcharged me by £6.40 so entered -£6.40 beauty discount, so I paid £12.00 and when I looked I had been given 2800 points!:j

They didn't have any P & P Gift Sets at the Morfa Retail Park Boots today.
Will try and get to Fforestfach tomorrow and will post on here if anyone is interested.

I was quite disappointed as I had meticulously written everything down + had all my vouchers ready :mad:

I've been a bit naughty, lol. Was on Facebook last night and joined the Boots Employees group! Thought it might be useful to get some inside info. Lot's of 'discussions' on there.

Llandudno - sorry I didn't see any more there!:o The proper Nivea display was more or less empty!

A shame you had a wasted journey, but Morfa were being very uptight about vouchers in general as they would not accept the £3 Sanctuary Spa voucher I am still unwell (on sticks- not that the SA bothered to notice when she suggested I go back and get something else form the shelf!) and had my mother with me so did not have the energy to involve the supervisor.

LOL, :rotfl:

There wasn't any 'voucher' type discussions but a few refund ones.

There is a very amusing one on there about the strangest questions the SAs have ever been asked, no wonder some of them are a bit narky :rotfl:
