Don't know lol but when I was reading the list written out there seemed to be a space left for it near the bottom but the person hadn't typed anything in the space so I wondered if that was a typo or not.
Thanks.0 -
Will the expert Scar Serum even out or improve skin tone on the face? 17 has a product called Even Tone Corrector Cream. I wonder which one would be better?0

which made me feel a bit better.
Loads of the old magazines still available in Oxford Retail Park.
That's exactly what happened to me, at one till in the store I was shopping in. I tried a different till (and different SA!!) and got the GWP and was "allowed" (ooh, thank you so much for letting me spend money in your store, Mr Boots!"!) to use the £5 voucher as well. So it's not just different stores that have different rules, it's different tills within the same store.
All makes for an interesting/stressful shopping experience, depending on how you look at it!!0 -
Boots Soltan is now buy one get one free. In the clearance section in my local store they had dozens of bottles of Soltan reduced and when I bought 2 was only charged the reduced price for one, so 2 bottles of Soltan Once for £6.0

I am off out for a bit retail therapy on a minimum spend soon.:sad: Feeling a bit low after a return to work discussion with my boss today.
I have a few pink £5 vouchers so will try some £6 mens stuff with the vouchers and pts vouchers if I am allowed.
Mind you ,thats rubbish retail therapy unless I get something for myself isn't it?
Its a pity Boots don't sell wine!:j I love bargains:jI love MSE0 -
OMG:eek:
I just added up all my Jan/Feb Boots receipts and then added on the .com order values. I have spent a total of £447.60 in Boots since the beginning of the January sale and the infamous High Lights mag voucher. Sounds worse than it is though cos I have practically sorted birthdays and Christmas for the year and I have a HUGE family (between DH and me we have 18 brothers and sisters, let alone our kids, nieces, nephews etc etc etc etc etc:rotfl:)
But I also calculated the points per pound average I have been getting and it is brilliant. I have a whopping £196.27 on my AC. At Christmas I had 80p left on it after Christmas shopping....so that means I have gained £195.47 in points since Christmas (mostly thanks to No. extra point vouchers from No 7 gift sets in the sale and the GWP...but also some fab extra point offers on .com....oh....and all the virtual babies my family have had for me!)
Based on my £447.60 spend that is a massive 43.67% points (or 43.67p for every £1 I spend in Boots). (Good job my DH doesn't read this thread:o)
I have to say though that things will definitely ease up once the mag voucher£5 pink voucher offer finishes because having scanned the new mag voucher list there is not anything there that will really make me want to spend, spend spend;)
Wow - that was brave of you to add up what you have spent. When I get my VISA bill I bet 2/3 of the entires will be for Boots - ooops! But your points tally is amazing - dunno how you did it but am sooo impressed! Well done!:T0
