    Would anyone be prepared to get me one and I will send money for postage etc. & whatever else it takes;)

    I hate to miss out:rotfl:

    I haven't seen these anywhere. I'm going to Milton Keynes tomorrow (heading straight for boots of course;) ) will see if they have any there. It's quite a big store so fingers crossed:D

    I had a laugh with a young SA today, I had been working near a Boots, so decided to pop in to see what they had on clearance, not really expecting to find anything as it was 3.30 and the store was really busy.
    As I thought, the clearance stand was nearly empty, but I bent down and couldn't believe what I saw......4 S&G things, reduced to 50p each.
    I paniced, I hadn't got any mag vouchers, having just sent some to Discount Diva. I left them hidden where they were, dashed down to the mag display, grabbed 4 and a basket and rushed back to the clearance stand to grab them. I then stood by the pharmacy counter chatting to a young girl there whist I was ripping the vouchers out.
    Then I had to delve in my bag to try to find my ACM coupons. I laughed and said, 'I've got some coupons in here, but I'm blowed if I can find them', she even offered to go to the ACM for me to get some more, but I found them. She then opened a till for me (even though there was a queue at the one next to it) and I said, 'if these vouchers go through with these, they will be a real bargain'.
    Till beeped at first one...she said this one is dated 3rd March, you'll need to go and get some more, but I showed her that it ends 25th March, she then tried the mag one, that beeped, she read the voucher and said, 'Oh, you can't use it with this'.....silly so and so that I am, said 'I thought some of them went through with the green things'. 'Yes she said....but this is pink!!'
    It was the contents that were green!!....it had confused me....doesn't take much!!
    I said 'I'll still have them, I'll just pay with points, I thought I'd got a real bargain there'
    'You have' she said, 'They are probably usually about £5-6'
    'Yes, but it would have been even better if you had been paying me £3.50 each to take them away' I said, she agreed and had a laugh at that.
    They were Feet Dreams, supposed to be good for aching legs and puffy feet, it also says you can put some on pulse points to cool you down, has anyone tried it? Not sure if I like the smell, but if it works.....

    Newmum2007 i hardly ever go to the gorleston boots cos it seems so tiny and i always feel as if im being a bit suspicious there lol. Maybe thats where i should be heading next though. They dont have an ac machine there though do they?
    They haven't got an ac machine but i normally nip in on my way back from town and use some I got there.
    Theres a really nice sa in there a slighty older lady shes always willing to try any combination of coupons:T

    OOps, I left the rest of the mags in the basket after buying the S&G, mind you, I did pick another two up on my way out!! I've usually got some spare if you need some.

    I actually picked up two of the Sanctuary GWP's today, to buy one and get the other free, but then put them both back, deciding I have enough Boots stuff already.

    When I spoke to CS about something and mentioned that a young Saturday girl wouldn't refund me on Nivea, even though I hadn't left the till with it, (she had mis understood and took some Nivea out of my points instead of something else, and I was missing out on the 400 extra points) CS said that she was wrong and they can refund skincare, but not cosmetics, but if there was an allergy problem, they would refund on cosmetics too.
    Have you tried writing to CS and explaining about the allergy and getting them to put it in writing that you can have a refund?

    Just dashed back to log in as I was 'doing a ruby' and looking on ebay for hatboxes ;) (my weakness lol)

    I think I'll have to put this particular complaint to bed, do as you say, and write to CS for some form of confirmation. Somewhere on Boots online, there's a skincare specialist, or similar, that you can consult, but I haven't been able to find it yet.

    When I've mentioned the problem to any SA willing to listen ;), I've always come away with the thought that they think I'm 'trying it on', when in fact, most of it's unused, and I don't want a refund. Just a giftcard and advice would do really.

    Thanks again Dollardog - I'll put it in writing tomorrow :) x
