    I don't know where the black ones have gone. All the staff seem to be totally clued up and won't let these go through free now . But we now have a colourful display of last summers gwp (yellow and black makeup bag and pink and black Bag)these go through the tills at o.oo but sales assistants won't let you have them so a nice pile accumulating behind till now. Am very frustrated the more they won't let me get one the more I'll try but I'm getting a bit paranoid that they are all watching me and talking about me I've tried so hard I wonder whether there is any sales assistant I haven't tried. The trouble is you end up buying so much stuff to disquise it that you might as well have bought the right stuff in the first place. There are also some bags with travel brush sets in them were these once a gwp?
    I wish we had self scanners . This hunt is driving me mad.
    I think the staff are getting the refused ones as refused twice the other day on the black boxes and they never reappeared. I even offered to put them back.

    It makes up for having the most rubbish clearance sections i've seen. Never any cheap s&g, or 20 p items like some. But what could be cheaper than FREE!:j Also i could never get the 50p tan wipes to go thro with the highlighter either :confused: So i think i was due a glitch....
    You'll probably see me on the next edition of Crimewatch!
    SA are often distracted by DD1 or 2 so all i can suggest is turning your BOOTS baby into a real/ borrowed one if you can!!!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Finally got a bargain :j. Just as i got to the till the lovely SA was reducing some Trevor Sorbie shampoo's and conditioners to £2.25!! So i asked her if i could use it with the vouchers. She said she'd try and it worked :j . So got one of each with my 2 lowly vouchers for 25p each :beer: . SA was so impressed but upset as she'd used her own vouchers up. Will have to remember her for next time an offer is on. It's great to get a helpful SA :D

    Some vouchers dont go through SS at TC such as soap and glory so toothbrush one might not go through and if it doesnt SA has to come over to authorise.

    I go in the evening about 9ish, it's quiet then but just as effective as no one has ever been on the SS tills, and the SA's on the normal tills near them only tend to toddle over if they here 'approval needed'

    :eek: OO-er i'm not that brave & they were definitely manned today. I'm sure they must have security cameras on them or something.

    Not that my OH could see.... ;) And i never use my card for that either as you say, there will be no points anyway, and it leaves me untraceable

    Did you not get a MF GWP?

    I was going to go there today but decided to stay in and do housework :eek: . I lost my wedding ring in the house on Friday and can't find it anywhere so I was hoping to find it after a good tidy up. No luck though, I'm gutted :( , we've only been married 4 months!

    Hi sam84uk. I do hope you find it.

    Best advice I can give is dont panic.

    You are much more likely to find it you are not stressed.

    So take a deep breath, and sit down and think it through. If you are systematic, you will find it. You could always ask your angel (If you believe in them):A :A

    Good luck. Tip Wedding rings tend to roll, so look under your cooker etc
