AND I turned down a free one!!! - an old lady wanted to give me hers as "all the stuff is much too expensive for me", but I didn't have the heart to do it - so I pointed her in the right direction and she was delighted to get a hand cream for nothing!

Thanks for this!! You've made me smile!! You're an :A!!

And congratulations to KJ1980!! All the best.:hello:

Back to bootsing:

Small Bargain: Got 3 Badger balms (sore muscle, sleep, tangerine lip, £3.99 each) on 342, and used one of the health club vouchers for £1 off a £4 spend. You need a degree to read the receipts: worked out £3.49+3.49+0. Plus a till-spit!! So 3 badger balms (you lot rave about it, so I decided to give it a try) for £7, plys till spit.

Big bargain: Yes, the TD Blemish serum is scanning at £6.25 and you can use the till spit for £5 off, so just £1.25!! Thank you again to the OP a couple of pages ago!! Really cheap, especially given that it is marked £12.50 in the shelf. Any clues if the redness relief is also reduced?

In case someone needs to buy some alergy tablets: you will have to spend 10 minutes looking at the offers on the shelves, some are BOGOF, other sizes offer a free hayfever eye drops, others are multibuy. Well I got Benadryl Acrivastine 12 tablets on 2 for £6 (were £3.99 each). Used a £1 off £4 on heathcare from mailing and the receipt reads: 3.48+1.52, plus the SA noted that I might be able to get a free boots hayfever eye drops (worth 4.79) and it did scan for free. Great service!! I might have been able to get another eye drops for free since I was actually buying 2, but did not think about it at the time. Needless to say, got another till spit!!

Advice request: DH is having trouble sleeping and I don't know if it is alergies or stress. I got the badger sleep balm. Can anyone recommned another alternative? We are not big fans of sleeping tablets... TIA

The redness relief is also £6.25 as I got one myself the other day, although was marked at that price at the one I went in.

And CONGRATS from me as well KJ1980. I've got a December babe myself and they're brill, makes Christmas ultra special (although shes 4 now!! lol)

The badger sleep balm never helped me, but hopefully it will help your hubby. I'm not a fan of taking meds, either, but what I'll do is get Night Nurse (they keep it behind the pharmacy checkout counter at Boots), and instead of a full dose, I will take 1/4 or less of a dose, just to have a little help. Or I will get Boots brand Sleepeaze (also behind the counter and much cheaper) in the 25mg tablets. The dosage is to take two; I just take one (and you could probably cut this in half and just take 1/4 of a dose). Don't get the 50mg as that is a full dose in one tablet.

Other things you've probably tried, but it bears mentioning: don't drink anything with caffeine past the afternoon. It stays in your system about six hours (I find it's best to just say no to caffeine past 3 or 4 p.m.). And I recently read this but haven't been following it yet: turn the computer off at least an hour before bedtime (something about looking at the lighted screen so close to you does something to your internal clock or wakes you up).

It isn't a Boots product but I love Lush's 'Therapy' massage bar:

http://www.lush.co.uk/products/Therapy_2161.aspx

I sometimes use it as an all-over body moisturiser between an evening bath and going to bed and it gives me a very peaceful night's sleep. Also useful as a pulse-point balm. And I second the advice about avoiding caffeine in the evening and not staying on the computer too late. But, honestly, I can't recommend the Therapy bar enough - it makes me feel really chilled out.

Well... I'm back! Decided to go cold turkey on this boots malarky! But after a week i am bored and find myself checking it now and again!!!

However, I have still been going to Boots when i can!!!

My update!!

I found some silver photo frames for £2.50 each BOGOF and some for £1.50 each.

Leicester store is running out of TD stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Small pharmacy is desperately trying to sell clearance and has put make up there down to a quid. Might swipe a B lip gloss for a quid!!


Got my group assessment tomorrow for John Lewis job. Might drag my dad to Boots after.....

They really got us good and proper with this till spit - I've spent a blady fortune lately :rolleyes:

Got oodles of fab stuff tho :happylove

Been rearranging the mountain in the spare room this morning to fit it all in from the other room - brought the following downstairs and have boxed up:

37 pks tesco newborn
7 pks huggies pullups
11 pks huggies newborn
8 various other nappies
52 pks huggies wipes
22 pks J&J wipes
12 pks pampers wipes
1 pk simple wipes (not sure where they came from)

Now can display my Boots stuff properly

wow i am very jealous of your baby goodies i still haven't found any cheap ones here in the midlands. What the deal with the tesco ones? were they really cheap too? and the wipes? i have never seen them cheap. In my store they have the printer but it scans at full price
Can anyone recomend a good liquid eye liner? i don't really wear make up but i have lots of parties and weddings this year and what to get some. I might by a till spilt from ebay later think this will be cheaper than buying stuff i don't need to get one.
