Passion, that's just made me spit my coffee!

All the SA's are going to know MSE bootsers soon. We'll be the ones with Gorgeous bags over our heads with eye-holes cut into them :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I got MC the other day but only got the body butter free, am I missing something ?

This offer is at some WHSmiths. A few months ago, I got one at Waterloo Station WHsmith, but never saw the offer at another store.

Passion8: how come they know your username? In your case, it's actually nice that they know you and treat well. Some other frequent bootsers here are not so well treated in their local stores. in some cases, even with suspicion.

As I wrote once here, I think this is Boots getting us to buy their products, since you can use a facial skincare voucher with a hand cream and body lotion... as long as it is Boots-manufactured as is the case of TD. And let's hope they keep it this way next time, since I can never have enough hand cream!!

I totally agree. I have masses of facial creams and serums etc (Mainly voucher led) but low on hand creams. I love the TD hand cream too it smells delicious. Thats what I am stocking up on too.:T

I am fine thanks Taffyscot. Many thanks for asking. I am hoping to travel up North in the next few weeks to visit one of my DS's who lives in Glasgow. So will be seeking advice here. I already know BG and Sauchihall street quite well, but need to find out where the clearance sections are hidden. :cool:
Nice find again. Let us know when you get it.:T :T

You will know better than me polls. If you are up before May 17th go to sunny Largs by the sea for the day nice day out and a nice cup of tea can await you at my place. Might even make some scones. After that my kids have paid for me to go back to Canada see my dd graduate from UBC.

Hi, I tried with one of the olay hand creams unsucessfully and reported it a few pages back. Not sure which one. I believe others have reported the same.

I also tried with the nivea dnage hand cream (reduced to £3 from 6), but was unsucessful.

If I remember correctly, last time this voucher was out, it was the same thing. The before last one, in september just said skincare and then the olay hand and body creams were included!! as well as the dnage hand creams.

My store would not even try any hand cream or any body lotions.

Rubes? Next time you're in town, get me a mask will you please? (And not the Sanctuary type either lol).

I can hardly type for laughing, but I did a load of shopping today, because I knew we'd be at DD's over the weekend, but when I say loads, I mean loads of small transactions (and clearance raiding)

OH was with me, bless him (in KW Rubes - who, I should say, have the BEST STAFF IN THE UK - (they're so good that they're gonna get a mention in my sig, when I get round to sorting one out ), and I was f*nnying around trying to get till spits (not realising that the 10points per £15 pound had kicked in already) but that's all by the by anyway.

(I'm still laughing - can't help it lol).

It was getting a bit hectic at the main till, so a lovely young SA asked if we'd like to go to the pharmacy to get served. So we did, and a lovely young man started to serve me, told me I was just short of the £15 mark and did I want to make it up. Did I? I'd have bought his tie for the £2 I was short of :rotfl:

But get this peeps - he knew my user name on here! And to make it worse, he said they ALL knew my user name and he told me what it was! :eek:

OH looked at me like I'd grown two heads (he doesn't know I use this stupid name lol, had to tell him that I couldn't fit passion8aboutbooks in! LOL).

The other young SA (the lovely one ) took one look at her mate, then looked at me as if to say: "passion8? What sort of a name is that for an overweight 50+ year old?" and, poor girl, she couldn't help herself, she turned away to laugh LOL. :rotfl:

(Still can't type for laughing btw) But how funny is that?

At least one member of staff (and according to him ALL of the shop's staff) know my real name, address, how many points I've got, what I buy, what I eat even! (meal deal day lol) and what a stupid user name I've got

The flaming alarm thing went off as we were leaving lol, so I did the usual, walked in again backwards , realised it wasn't my shopping, so OH went through, and set the alarm off. We were in and out like fiddlers' elbows, but just carried on out.

I was in stitches when I got outside - not because the alarm had gone off (and that we hadn't been stopped btw) but because if we had have nicked anything (which we hadn't anyway) they know exactly where to find me LOL. On here! Or here at home!

Anyway, I hope they've all stopped laughing now ('cos I haven't - bet they haven't either lol) and as promised - I said I'd give the SA a mention.

So. Hello Mr Young Pharmacy Man, you're the best SA ever :hello: ... I'm doing my shopping in York from now on! :cool: :rotfl:

Be back later with the shopping lists peeps, and whoever said Boots aren't watching are wrong. They're more than watching, they're making notes! :eek:

I'm off to try and live this down Cya later all x

That is sooo funny !, well not funny iykwim, you made me laugh the way you have put it all , if it was me I would have been mortified!

Don't need to bother with the shopping lists just pop into Boots and ask them whilst their reading up on you just to post your lists for you !!! Save you a bit of time...and if their getting paid for it !!

Ooh passion, what a brilliant post, I LMBBO. It just confirms what we have said all along doesnt it. I love the fact that they know what you eat too :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: To any of them reading can I just say, what a load of good sports you all are:T :T

Never mind getting a mask, I think you need a bag for your head. Or just a big hat.LOL:cool: :cool: .

As for your user name, who says People over 50 or 60 for that matter cant be passionate about something other than books. I know I can. :heartpuls

I wonder if OH will be quite so eager to be your boots buddy from now on though:rotfl: :rotfl: :cool: :cool:
