Thanks for that skittifer. Will save me getting in a pickle on Saturday as I always have a huge shopping list! I had 2 cats what I was 7 for my birthday, I called one skittifer and one pottifer. Unfortunatel pottifer went of one day after I gave him a hair cut and trimmed his ears too :eek:

No problem I am always getting myself in a huge muddle in Boots, usually wandering round and round in circles, then stopping in the middle of the shop (so it doesn't look like I'm hiding trying to shoplift lol) flipping through my mini photoalbum trying to dig out vouchers, whilst trying to consult my shopping list whilst trying to hide the sheer volume of vouchers I am carrying and generally looking confused, harassed and very flushed :rotfl:

Poor Pottifer! :rotfl:

***Rant Alert***

My local boots is in Halifax and i want a rant about the damn SA's, i'm only 21 and look about 12 lol, but they look at me as though my money means nothing. I get followed by the security guard as though im a shop lifter, when i get to the tills they then look down my nose at me as though im not good enough to buy in boots! i've spend a fair bit the last few weeks, and not all on offer items, i dont purposely hold up queues or cause trouble, and i definatly dont shop lift! its really starting to put me off going in there. i love getting bargains and wil use vouchers where i can but i dont go overboard. i also buy lots of things for my family that they love and at xmas i spend a fortune!

grrr, sorry to rant but just really annoyed that they seem to hate anyone under the age of 30 in my local!!!

Just wondered if anyone has printed off the 100 points when you buy any red and white Toni and Guy haircare product and/or the £1.50 off Toni and Guy shampoo, conditioner or styling product.
If so, does it state that the miniatures are excluded? Was hoping to do the miniatures (at around £1.60 each) on 3 for 2 (bringing it down to £3.20) then £1.50 off (making it around £1.70) plus 100 points. Very optimistic, I know!
If anyone lives in NW London, Boots on Kilburn High Road (near Marks and Spencers) has got some good reductions at the moments. There are a few bottles of this http://www.boots.com/brandtreatment/product_details_brand_treatment.jsp?productid=1047411&classificationid=1042889 reduced to about £4, and this http://www.boots.com/brandtreatment/product_details_brand_treatment.jsp?productid=1085461&classificationid=1042895 which I think was also around £4. I got several Radox deodorants reduced from £1.49 to 38p and there were loads left, plus fcuk deodorant wipes, lots and lots of body spray, the No7 trinket sets from Christmas and Soap and Glory Jam Sessions for £4. However, the SA put my clearance bits through as 'Beauty' so I don't think the 200 points on S&A spa voucher from the magazine would work with it.
HTH someone. :beer:

I was thinking about this myself, never printed off the vouchers so didn't see if there were any T & C's ... but I was thinking of buying individually £1.69 -£1.50 = 19p plus 100pts

Sorry pollsdolls, why do you want us to delete our posts? Is it not infact a good idea to leave it so that anyone considering getting 'virtual' babies, using others vouchers, buying from ebay etc is informed that it could get them in a bit of a pickle as Mr Boots has eyes etc? If CPG/MSE Andrea want us to then that of course will not be questioned

I have asked op to consider it as it is causing great concern to the person in question. Just trying to help her out and support her. Nothing sinister. I think she has been scapegoated by Boots without us using her misery as a deterrant.

Or am I so very wrong in caring?? Op can examine their own conscience over virtual babies without using her as a shield. No ulteriors motives for me, I gain nothing, except perhaps more stick.

P.S I am doing this will the full agreement of the lady concerned.

Someone asked me recently if I'd lost my marbles. I told them I'd dropped them when I fell off my trolley:D

To keep it Boots-like:
My Health Club mailing arrived today - anyone want the 50% off a BMI machine smartcard for 12 weigh-in?

The 100 point voucher says it excludes miniatures unfortunately.

I never thought it was anything sinister nor that you had motives, was just asking if it were better left as a form of deterrant, but obviously not to cause misery to the person concerned!

Hi, I have a voucher that I'd like to give away as I'm simply not going to use it. It's worth 300 points when you buy any Max Factor Lipfinity Colour & Gloss, valid until 30/04/08. If you send me a PM with address, I'll post tomorrow.

Voucher now taken, thanks.

Does anyone know what happened to moneysaver12 haven't seen her post anything.just wondered if anyone knows the outcome?

I am guessing she is lying low where it comes to public posting right now, which is wise. And it's probably why it's not a bad idea to delete posts quoting her, so that (hopefully) anything she said can't be used against her if Boots were trying to make an example out of her.

If you got two Time Delay Wipes at 3.99 each, for a total of 7.98 on Time Delay, would the coupon take 5 off, leaving 2.98 to pay? And then you could use the 100 points ACM coupon on two Time Delay products.
