Definitely.. why do they feel they need add the pics of the mini's if its just the bag you're getting

Oh dear, I've just ordered this thinking it would definitely be the bag and the minis. How very misleading to include the pictures of the products if they're not included

I need a little help for you pro booters.

Can you buy phone top up of £5 or do you have to buy £10 or more please. If I can do £5 it means I can get 2 more £5 no7 vouchers.

Thank you

I reckon if a few people are expecting more than the bag, as I would, there'll be a few complaints. Sometimes it best to see what turns up?

I'm not 100% certain even though I had to top mine up, but paid £10 as I think someone mentioned it was £10 minimum.

Absolutely - fingers crossed it's all there! Even if it's not, it's still jolly good to have got the other minis on three for two.

I have thirty 75p off vouchers from Boots to be used against a purchase of any Palmolive Pure Cashmere shower creme. One voucher per purchase obviously

If these are any use to anyone please let me know

I am located in the middle of Essex

Would it be better to put something worth 25p in the basket (gum) just in case the -10.25 takes it below £10?

My daughter always puts gum in so I would say YES!!!!!!!

Went to boots this morning on a couple of missions. First one being to see if any valentines stuff was reduced and 2nd to spend my 2 £5 no.7 vouchers. I decided to go to Kingston Retail park in Hull as it is the closest to me and has free parking...I was hoping to get the Amazing Eyes pencil and Brow Pencil (No7) as I read on here that they were £3.75ish and confirmed this on boots.com....anyway, was devastated when I got in store and saw they were £7.00 I only wanted to ue my vouchers if I could get something for free because getting married in July so money is rather tight at the moment. Anyway, there was no valentines things in store whatsoever and I was there just before 10 so Im sure I didnt miss them. Just as I was leaving - (with an empty basket!!!!!) I heard one of the SA's mention valentines gifts and I saw something in her hand which had red hearts on and then I heard her say she was going to ask the boss if she could have it as reduced!!! So I was fuming! Was not going to bother going to Prospect Centre as I have to park a few minutes walk away if I want free parking and am on a night shift tonight so couldnt really be bothered but I needed cheering up! So of I went, had a look around and the No7. eye pencils were £7 in there as well but did see some of the S&G sets which looked lovely but were clearly valentines stock so I asked an SA if they were going to reduce the valentines stuff and she looked at me like I was naked and said "err, no" really sarcastically!! I was not a happy bunny. I then looked on the reduced shelves and found some reduced Carex for 47p so ended up buying 2 of them and a Boots Essentials bubble bath which I use all the time anyway (the white one is v. nice). So....on the whole...am quite disappointed with todays efforts!

Oh well....hope this helps anyone who may be thinking of going to Prospect Centre or Kingston Retail park in the hope of getting reduced Valentines Goods!

Just wanted to mention they have the new P&P set in Fort Kinnaird Edinburgh now. The Valentine stand just inside the door has changed to a Mothers Day stand, and it's there.

I had already decided to get one of thses as soon as I saw it, so trotted off to get a GWP in my basket too. The No7 staff are friendly here so I went to there till point, just behind another lady clutching the P&P set and a voucher, but no GWP. I said "Don't forget your pink box" or something to that effect, but the (new to me) SA that appeared at that moment said that she couldn't have one if using a voucher as she wasn't spending £20. I put on my best wide eyed dense expression and said "Oh, but my friend (you're all my friends here, right????;) ) got one at her branch. I thought the vouchers counted as cash for offers?" or something to that effect. The other customer by this time had nipped round and got her hands on a pink box and a determined expression on her face, so the SA cheerfully said she'd try it through the till...and of course it worked. Everyone happy, especially the lady who unexpectedly had got a pink box...and she got another voucher, so she went back round and got her (totally embarassed) hubby some No7 to make things up to him.

Good day all round. And another :T for the Fort Kinnaird staff, who are always good natured and try to help, no matter how awkward you're being.

One thing...there were some very nice £20 Sanctuary sets on the M Day stand as well. Would be a good buy with the GWP....even better if you could persuade the £3 off voucher (from GWP) to work properly with it. I've had quite a bit of trouble with the Sanctuary vouchers though.
