I didn't bother with the 250 point voucher in the end, well I say 'didn't bother', I actually forgot to take it

So, I got:
Hand Saviour £10.50
Illum Powder £10.25
GWP

I also handed over the illum powder voucher and the pink £5 voucher - the young girl on the till said "you can't have this (GWP) with these vouchers", so I smiled sweetly and said nicely but authoritatively, "oh dear, well it worked yesterday? Why don't you try putting the free gift thru before you take off the vouchers?", so she did (bless :rotfl: ) and it worked :j She also gave me another £5 voucher which I'm sure I shouldn't have got so I legged it PDQ, upstairs to where I actually *spent some of my points* :eek: :eek: on a £27 swimming costume - just hope I can get it on now :rotfl:

I'm pretty pleased with my purchases of late - thank you for all the tips and hints you lovely lot :beer:

I used the same combination today, and was refused the 250 points voucher. I was told 'its skin care only'. When I pointed out that I have skin on my hands and I had bought Hand Saviour FOR caring for the skin on my hands, she laughed. Points put on manually, with a smile.
I also converted another lady to MSE & PTS after advising her about points combinations of offers, vouchers etc. She was so pleased to get the illum powder for free, so there may be another newbie on here soon.:D

I haven't ventured to boots for ages (like another poster, still working my way through the last stash) so today is the first time I've seen & got the new pink GWP box. :eek:

Just opened it, and am really disappointed that they have printed something (a line of numbers, like an exp date) on the front of the bottom drawer. I thought this was on the plastic packaging, but it's printed on the fabric. I actually liked the box more than the contents, and wanted to put earrings in it. Is everyone's like this?

There's no numbers printed on mine. ( Any of them...I've got three.) Looks like you might have got a dud. Why not take it back and ask to change it?

I picked the last one up in the Gloucester store yesterday, forgot to use my 250pts skincare voucher too....

Not sure if you missed it yesterday but the store has ( or had ) 3 sets of the the Insolence & Gucci Rush gift sets too. DD likes the Gucci so may bag her one for christmas...will they keep this long?

Thanks, I'm not near Gloucester anyway, but I have perfume coming out of my ears at the moment!!, What with the 3 gift sets and bottle I got in exchange for the Chanel I didn't want, plus I got a 100ml, and 10ml of Eternity Moment in a gift set with body lotion from Ebay, I think I have enough perfume to last me the rest of my life!! Mind you, I'm still tempted to get another Insolence gift set.......will power is winning at the moment!!

I've been to the West Quay (Southampton) store for the first time today and, apart from being impressed with how much they stock, I was super impressed with the SAs. I went armed with a list of what I was buying and what order to hand over the vouchers in, but it was no problem whatsoever, as the very helpful SA immediately asked if I had any vouchers and was fine using all of them (250 points, £5 off and double points). I did two transactions to get multiple points/discounts and came away with two more £5 off vouchers and a survey thing to fill in. It's not a store I can get to very often, but it's definitely well worth a visit.

BTW they did have several of the reduced Accessorzie hatboxs (£7.40, I think) which were highly tempting, and suncare items for 50p, but I managed to resist as I've also got a dot com order on the way!

I forgot to say in my last post, the perfume will definitely be ok for Christmas, don't keep it in bright sunlight though.

Going back to the hand saviour - does the £5 voucher work on this?

Seen on an earlier post that someone had used the voucher on it, so will have a try
