I just wanted to say what a nice thread this is!
I only really read this one, but have been looking at a few other threads on this website recently. And aren't people on other threads rude and aggressive sometimes ??!! Coming back here is like a breath of fresh air.
I'm a bit sad, I know, but just had the urge to share that with you all. lol.:T

You're so right, some threads are so hostile, but everyone on here is so helpful. I actually don't get much time to look at other threads these days as I spend so much time on here lol:rotfl: :rotfl:

Feel all depressed now because I am out of vouchers!! Can't find a mag for toffee, did a bad shop today so didn't pick up a £5 voucher, used my 250 points vouchers from GWP, can't find anything new on ACM.......What light is there at end of tunnel? new mag maybe and an ACM change, lets hope there is some exciting stuff!

A REALLY BIG THANK YOU TO DOLLARDOG!!:T :T :T

Hi, I just wondered how you managed this? I did my second No7 transaction this afternoon in Milton Keynes Boots on a trip out with my DH and two DD's. I have had a week off work holiday with the kids on half term and Saturday's is normally my longest, worst shift so I thought I would enjoy my last day off with another 'succesful' trip to Boots (my local store is Luton).
As my first trip to my local in Luton a week ago was succesful I went ahead hopefully with my purchases :-
1 x Instance Radiance concealer - £12.00
2 x Pantene - 2 for £4.00
1 X Highlighter - £10.50
1 x GWP

I handed over the No 7 pink £5.00 voucher and then the highlighter voucher and paid £11.00 in total and also managed to get another £5.00 voucher and another Boots mag (to use for another day's free highlighter)

I was pleased with this but as I had my 250 point voucher in my purse from my first transaction a week ago I thought I would use it and get 250 points when purchasing the 'revitalising hand saviour' which was £10.50 and I had my last £5.00 voucher from the last transaction. Handed them both over and the young SA scanned the £5.00 off and then the 250 points but the points wouldn't work - she said it is probably because it says it can't be used with any other discount etc.. and which one did I want to use. I decided on the £5.00 off and just paid and went. Could anyone tell me if it would have worked if she had scanned the points coupon first? I am kicking myself that I didn't leave it and try again or even pick up another highlighter and get another GWP but it's too late now and I just panicked when the till bleeped!!
Could anyone help before I go in and make another 'unsuccessful' purchase. On the plus side I did pick up another magazine so I have two highlighters to 'purchase' before this offer finishes but not too long left to purchase them in and I also have another GWP for my 3 DD's to raid!!
Apologies for the long post and thanks in advance :T

Hi pinkytots I think a few of us are confused lol. But wherever possible, and because of the 400 points, I've been buying that Nivea seperately, whilst still trying to reach that magical £10 figure

Imo, nothing in Boots should cost anything that ends in 0.99p. It usually means a packet of chewing gum or bag of crisps at the ready

My brain's on over-time now lol;)....what I mean is in the second shop if lalamb took out the Q10 and No 17 she is left with a spend only of £5.50 as the product is £10.50 and the highlights is free, so she needs to leave something in to bring it to £10 spend to get the voucher - does that make sense.

I agree totally about buying the Q10 separately for the points - there we go again, great minds eh:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

No pinkytots, you've got to stop thinking like that

Whilst that highlighter is in your basket, it's worth £10.25 - even though you haven't bought it yet (but it will be free when the vouchers go through in order). So anything that's £9.75 and above gets you to the magical £20 lol

Doncaster Wheatley Hall Road Boots had loads of the P&P sets today, I was tempted to get one for my mum for M's day but she really likes the Sanctuary stuff, can anyone advise me whats the best buys in the Sanctuary range? I have seen the GWP, not sure if it is any good though?

Have a look back at my post #1857 to see what I thought of the current big Sanctuary set.
