I have the name of her charity and a contact number if anyone wants further details. Maybe Elly could confirm if it would be ok to post details on the forum.


BROCLO - Wow - and I thought I'd done quite well today! Not in the same league :-)

I was MENTALLY exhausted yes!

Trying to work it all out in my head as I walked around and I managed to take it to ONE till and produce every item in the right order and with the correct vouchers. Sure I could have done it better but my 11 month old was getting a bit bored and I only had 20 mins to shop! Think...supermarket sweep...except no Dale Winton(Although there is a Dale wannabe SA in my local). But I was still reasonably impressed with the maths.

One of the managers served me too, on his LUNCH BREAK, he was heading out the back when he saw me! Says, oh my...I better open a till...lunch can wait. Then he said hello to DS by name, I wish Guildford was bigger so I could be more anonomous!

Well atleast you got the MF nail sets...now they are something I can use. I mean I presume so...whoever heard of 'sensitive nails'. Although you never know with me! Far more jealous of your haul the other day :rotfl:

I was in my local big Boots tonight and couldn't work out for a minute what was so different about the place. Then it struck me...no No7 Pink GWPs lining the top of the No7 counter. Last time I was in they were three deep up there!

So where do they all go.....???????

I was in for healthcare stuff for my mum and in a hurry, so I just kept my own buys to a couple of JF full sizes serums (I love the stuff) and some Sanctuary Body Butter, because I'd found a £3 off voucher that was going to expire at the end of March in my bag. The usual till bleep for the £3 off voucher, of course. The two SA's on Pharmacy couldn't have been nicer and even the photos lady came over to have a look at my voucher...no joy, had to get a boss with a key to over-ride the till. Really, I'm sick of using these Sanctuary vouchers and I've still got seven to go. Nobody has refused me yet but the palaver every time gets me down.

The vouchers say....

"Save £3 on any Sanctuary Spa purchase*" * "Offer subject to availability. Offer excludes the accessories range, mini products and sachets. Offer available to (various dates). Offer only available in Boots stores nationwide and The Sanctuary, Covent Garden. Not to be used in conjunction with any other offer."

So why does the till keep bleeping? Yes, I know it doesn't bleep for Sanctury gift sets but the voucher doesn't say only to be used for gift sets. Grrrr...I came home so cross that I've emailed Boots CS about this to see what they say. I have stressed that despite their very helpful staff these vouchers are a source of embarrasment and annoyance to me. Will let you all know when they email back.

I presume if they have not be snapped up...to Boots clearance shop at Beckton Triangle, next to NEXT outlet. I had amazing shop there last september....121 items for £42, all make up, gifts etc. Kept 19 items for xmas and took the rest down to surestart and said help yourselves to the mums there. All great stuff and worth a trip!
