    Sorry to be thick,but do you get extra points on the Q10 cream,and what is this cream anyway?!! Thanks,Deb.

    Hi Deb
    There is a 400 points with selected Q10 purchases notice up where the Nivea stuff is located. I bought one the other day in Glasgow Fort(the only one in the shop) for £1.70. I didnt know if it would work as it is a reduced item but the 400 extra points went on no problem. I couldnt believe my luck when I saw the 2 in Boots Buchanan Galleries today. I have never used a face cream as I still get spots(well over 40) but I will give it a go! Its for night use to make you beautiful I think!!

    I have a question....
    I have a boots adv. card but it's only a paper one...(I have some points on it already) I can't get one as I live in Norway. I was wondering if I can use someones address to register with boots so I can get a real card and take advantage of the offers when I'm in the UK? I hate not being about to use my points/card to get to the machine to print out points vouchers etc :(

    All I ask is that you send me my card when it arrives etc. and I of course will pay for postage for it etc..I only go a few times a yr so any mailings I would get when I'm not there you could keep!

    I'm heading for London for a few days on Wed. so I highly doubt I can get the card in that short time hehe.



    Anyone willing to help me? :confused:


    I phoned re my daughters paper card last week and she got the plastic one yesterday so it took 10 days to arrive from the call date.

    I have been crafting today so planning on going bootsing tomorrow. No mag highlighters so hoping to pick a few up & try for the GWP.
    As I have to buy No7 which I am not familiar with what are good items to go for. Not necessarily the cheapest just the most useful, VFM items really.
    Planning on giving to my sis for her birthday.

    Hi, I know alot of you make lovely baskets to give as gifts, I am going to do one for mothers day but I cant find a nice basket to put the stuff in and also would like to know where to get nice tissue paper or something to line the basket with. I would like to use some shiny strips of stuff if anyone knows what I mean?

    Have you looked here for tips. Put a word, say 'tissue 'in the search this thread header & you'll get all replies & tips of where to buy etc. Lots of good pics & moneysaving alternatives to baskets.

    You will find all the answers to doing hampers in the special occasions threads, I'm new to it and have completed 7 in the last couple of weeks:j

    On another note I have just found myself with my hand in the bin searching out the vouchers I received in the No7 GWP, I thought they were for Ireland only and it wasn't til reading this thread I thought maybe I missed something! So they are safely fished out and turned over to see the UK offer lol

    What am I like:eek:

    Do you think they will update in the morning like last week? I missed last Sunday as they never bothered doing it on Sunday before.

    Thanks Bumbles!
    So the extra points vouchers cant go as double, what about the extra points with purchases as advertised on the shelf? (as the Q10 cream)
    Week( my daughter made up the name, its meant to be Wee K, I think (thats her nickname) but Week definitely describes me in the bargain shopping stakes.

    The only points you get doubled are the normal points which are 4 per £1.
