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. So anything that's £9.75 and above gets you to the magical £20 lol

Hi passion8

I think we're talking at cross purposes - I know it will cross the £20 threshold to get the gwp, but.......... once that voucher goes through to get it free lalamb will only spend £5.50 and will not get her much treasured pink voucher and we can't have that can we?

I'm tempted - not that I know which bag you're talking about, LOL - as I have 3 £3 coupons to try to spend, two of which were from last year and run out soon, but how do you work out that it only cost £11. Am I having a blonde moment (or a senior moment) - wouldn't it be £20 - £3 - £3 = £14? TIA

I had a £3 voucher from a previous GWP so only slid £17 in cash across the counter, and got the big gift bag and the GWP, both of which had a £3 off voucher inside, thus £6 back in useful vouchers. Oh, and I got a pink voucher £5 back too, though frankly, I can barely get excited about them any more, lol!

Sort of cuboid in a brown suedette finish. I can't find a pix of it though, sorry.

Thanks I spotted some earlier, but whether it was because they'd been in storage, or didn't have enough padding, they hadn't packaged them that well. These looked really drab

Which is probably why I bypassed them

In Braehead. Glasgow today I bought weight watchers scales at £25 - but went through the till at £16.65 - no signs that there was a reduction anywhere on shelf or anywhere else - does this mean that its a nationwide reduction that they have missed out advertising?

Yup, but what are you going to spend them on? I can't bring myself to spend mine as then you miss out on the points offers, mad or what?!:rotfl:

I am saving mine for the next sale. Unless I've got vouchers for certain items, of course. But I wouldn't normally have that extra £60-£80 in cash just to spend on little treat things if I didn't have points.
