    I've read so many posts from the boots thread and always scared that i'll get caught out, but was brave yesterday and tried it.

    Used the £2 haircare voucher on a small hairspray and paid only 49p, did this 6 times as I was given a few from my sister and some from topups. I was just reading and was wonder where the additional 100points in the magazine is, I've looked on every page and cant find it??? :confused:

    Also, someone was saying they used the £5 voucher but I thought that went out of date at the beginning of March-or did i read the date wrong and done a really silly thing by throwing them away??

    Can anyone tell me what the cheapest item from 17 is so i can get the free lip glaze?? and how do people get the free gift vouchers?? I never knew there was so much to learn about Boots until i dicovered this site.

    :rotfl: LMAO at your DH using your Boots goodies.
    He even rang me in work when I bought some Nivea Q10 ( reduced of course with 400pts) to ask if he could have one of the jars!! Don't laugh at him at pre school when you suss which one he is!

    I was lying on the bed whilst painting my nails but have searched high and low but no joy. The only other explanation could be one of my cheeky little monkeys finding it and maybe it'll turn up in a toy box or something.
    hope so.... it wil probably be when you are least expecting it and at least you know that it is the house....... SOMEWHERE

    I'm hoping to squeeze some Bootsing in on saturday after work. How manic do you think it'll be at Cheshire Oaks with it being the Easter weekend? Last time I did this was the day before Mother's day and it took me over half an hour to actually get onto the car park and find a space :eek:
    I tend to find that if you go around 6pm ish the parking is not too bad as this tends to be teas time for 'normal' people~ the reduced section in there are up by the nappies/butty section so I think you should be ok...but I know the parking can be quite bad there, but there is the overspill car park at the back of the shops if your desperate.

    P.S. It took me about half an hour to triple quote. I previewed it first and it didn't work so had to go back to 'fix' it, lol. I've been meaning to reply to you, polldolls and passion for awhile but not had much chance to post.
    I've worked out how to multi quote ( after an eternity mind you!) when replying to one person but haven't sussed out how to do it your way!!

    :eek: You found reduced Q10! I must've missed that post. I bet you DH will be the one who looks 10 years younger then he should do using all of your goodies!

    I'll have to brave the Oaks at about 2pm-ish! I finish work at 2 so I'm in the area at that time, might go by ellesmere port on the way back :cool: ;) . And maybe I should go past home to Bromoborough and back again. May have to hide my bags when I get in though :D . I'm getting withdrawal symptoms, I haven't been Bootsing for 2 WHOLE WEEKS!

    Ok I'm quite impressed by your quoting because I don't know how to do it that way, lol.

    By the way AM, I think you should buy a few sandwiches to get the £3 voucher and get your DH some No7 stuff from the men's range (don't forget the 100 point mag voucher and any No7 GWP 250 pointers though) otherwise he'll end up with softer skin than you at this rate, LOL.

    Well have to get together and give each other lessons LOL.. when Itried to explain how to post a link it was rather long winded!!!
    If you spot any bargains on Sat let us know.. but we will have to wait until Monday to bag any as the shops are closed Sunday

    I know nettienoo was going to the Port today so she may have info of any bargains there.

    The voucher is on the very last page of the magazine. (not the cover..the last page before thecover)

    cheapest thing to get seems to be the lip liner (some people getthem for 50p) but its is coming up asfull price in my store. check the clearance shelves to see if there are reduced no17 stuff;)

    Got him loads with the £5 No7 voucher and 250 pts from GWP already, but he prefers to use my stuff and keeps his own for special occassions...I mean have you heard anything like it. his mates in work would be:rotfl: if they knew!

    Thanks for that might try and call in again, hat is a different place than the normal clearance section.. you also had a SA which was a lot more helpful than the one I had

    Hope you got some stuff in the Port
    I think work is getting in the way of shopping!!!:mad:
    Nothing much in Ellesmereport a few blue sanctuary foot bits (they were still there from last week) didnt stock the free toothbrushers or the expert mitt, so quite dissapointed:confused:
    If it has tyres or testicles, it's gonna give ya problems..
