Hi all
Phoned CS again this morning re shortage of Expert GWP in some stores. Nice guy, Alan, checked the stock in the 3 Durham stores and said they had loads of them, none in the Chester le Street store though. Managers in some stores don't all seem to be aware of the GWP but if anyone wants to check with their local Boots if they have them the item number is 5313481, alternatively you can phone CS and they will check for you. Alan also said that there was plenty of stock in all the warehouses and managers could order more if they ran out, no shortage at all and available to all stores.
Hth someone.

Bunbun2, glad to see that you finally got one.

Eldon Square, Newcastle
Got my hands on the No7 nail sets today, SA's face was a picture when she price checked for me as she said they would be £15 each. I told her I thought they were also on 342, which of course they were. She said she would have to check it with her manager as she thought it was wrong, her manager said it was fine but didn't look happy. There were 8 left on the shelf when I left around 2pm, not sure how long they will last though or if they have more stock, I guess staff will want to buy some now, well I would if I worked there.
Had also enquired about stock of these to Alan :beer: , my new friend in CS, the item number for these is 5146291 if anyone wants to check the stock levels or ask CS which stores still have them locally. He told me they were £15 so didn't enlighten him. :rotfl:

Was dithering about trying the Med glitch with a giftset, then voice over PA system announced a "345 in 567" or something like that. In a nervous and guilty panic I thought it could be a code for "MSE Bootser eyeing up the Med bags", decided to play it safe and just got a soap with a free soap.

MRSTITTLEMOUSE I see what you mean about the Eldon Square store, today I lost count of how many times I overheard SA's saying that they would have to "check with my manager" to various customers, they have obviously been told to double check everything. No problems at the tills using multiple points vouchers and MOC's with Expert purchases though a supervisor standing at SA's elbow did check them all and remarked that vouchers were a "pain" for the staff. :rolleyes: My heart bleeds...
The till beeped at the Med voucher so £1.50 was taken off manually, glad that I hadn't tried for the giftset.

Passion8, was it you who wondered if the pink Bourjois tweezers would go through with the £2 tillspit? Yes they do, I did it 3 times today despite SA insisting it wouldn't work. Doing OK so far with the new tillspits on accessories and reduced brushes.

Oh, also found a Dior counter at last so picked up the new Dior Shine sample with the e mail, teeny little spray phial, not to my taste so giving it to DD, smells of raspberries if anyone's wondering, so nice for summer.

Edited to correct item numbers, hope it didn't confuse anyone Thanks aMeLia'S~MuMMY

After vowing not to be lured into any new glitches I couldn't resist the Mediterranean one and the no7 nails. Wish I hadn't bothered.

I didn't have the ACM offer when I went to the machine and even if I had there were no soaps and about 5 items in total.

No no7 nails stuff anywhere.

This was in London Colney.

I did however get the pantene shampoo and conditioner. It's on offer at the moment of BOGOHP.

So, £1.79 for shampoo and £0.89 for conditioner.

Total: £2.68.

I used the £2 for PC and 2 different 200 points from PC.

Total to pay £0.68 and 400 points. :beer:

Not too bad.

Anyone know of any Hertfordshire stores that have the no7 nail and Mediterranean stuff? I'm still trying to resist the temptation - money saving hard! :think:

Spotted the M/F black GWP boxes in my local store.What is the best and most reliable way to get one of these with lowest outlay. I'm new to all this so looking for some advise on how you experts would go about it.

Ok I know I am getting a bit crazy now about wanting some nail kits! My DH is going to London tomorrow for business and I have given him instructions to find a Boots to see if they have any! I want some noooooooowwwwwwww! :rotfl:

So if anyone is clued up about which Boots to go to for the best chance of finding the nail kits in the vicinity of the Tower of London please let me know because I am clueless!


I must be getting Boots obsessed because I am even thinking about visiting the inlaws in Bolton just so I can go round all the local boots... oooooh and visit the trafford centre and have a go with the self service tills :beer:

No 7 Insrocorrect pen £12.00
No 17 lip glaze, pencil sharerner, MF GWP free
Maltesers 100g (piggy)

No7 found pen free £12.00.. ok that's right
Free No17 lip glaze and palette.. ok that's right
Free MF GWP ..ok tha't wrong but good for me. ha ha

Now put thru
500pts No7
500pts £10 or more on baby
250pts gwp off no7
150pts dry mouth wash and also 100pts out of mag
100pts on single tranaction over £15.00
Free lip glaze
1st go on the double points thing from earlier in the week

Paid £38.10 Points on account 1940???
But worse still when I look at my recipt it says that the found pen at top is free but at the bottom it says for the 342 only £12.00 minus for the pen

So it took 2 x £12.00 off... meaning I paid £19.75 for the p&p, foundation and the pen.

I'm abit miffed as others have only paid £18.00 for all 3 but hey ho some you will some you lose... baffled me thou as I have not got a clue what this till has done... but I ain't going back complaining... he he he

Well i finally got to Boots today after DD2 was christened yesterday. Got 2 more MF GWP nails. Got the Med soap voucher, didn't try at TC as Scorpiokitten says not working there . Tried 2 other boots but could't see any soaps or bags. Are they stocked with med range or elsewhere in store? Anyone know in Manchester where this works.
Also advert just on tv for free MF khol pencil worth £4 wyb MF Mascara (not sure if only a particular type ) till april 22nd at Boots (of course) wonder if this works with £2 off and 200 points pc voucher.
I need a med glitch HELP!
