    Hi, Hogshead.

    Sorry to hear your bad news - what an awful start to the day for you. Hope you are okay and it's just the car that was damaged.Good luck with getting it all sorted out - sounds like you might need a couple of treats from Boots to cheer yourself up - good job they can be free with the till-spits!

    By the way - did you look for the Epsom printer in Gloucs - I think there was a blank shelf where they would have been when I was in on Sun.

    Can I use more than one MOC on different items in the same transaction?
    I thought I could but SA refused to let me use RoC £5 voucher and £5 tillspit together, I was buying RoC wipes and a TD toner, she said only one voucher per transaction :confused:
    She then said I had lost my RoC voucher as she had already scanned it :confused: I asked her to void the TD item and put them through in seperate transactions which she did, a bit reluctantly.

    Is this a new thing or was SA, bless her, just in need of a coffee break? She's usually fine with vouchers etc. so I'm wondering if it's a new policy.

    I used £5 roc and £2 till spit for my sharpener aswell as different named point coupons from ACM on saturday.Although the surnames were the same :)

    Can someone save my sanity please? I'm not sure whether I am seeing things lol! I nipped to Boots earlier for some nappies (no reduced ones to be seen :( ) and just thought I would have a little look at the Time Delay see what was in stock - no wipes surprise surprise!- anyway as I am having awful breakout of post pregnancy spots I thought I would try the Time Delay Anti-Blemish Skin Concentrate I'm sure the SEL said £12.50 or thereabouts, which with the voucher would have left £7.50 to pay but it scanned at £6.25, making it £1.25 to pay with the voucher.

    I didn't have time to nip back to double check the shelf, I can't find it online to check what price it is on there, does anyone know what price it is in there shop? Is it a glitch...oooo I hope so, I would love to find a good offer :)

    That's what I thought too.I agree though it's nice of them to give 200points as an apology -I have enough now to buy the summer version of ysl paris for my mum.

    I know it's not helpful to tempt anyone not to use points, but this morning I was looking up the springtime version of Paris, and found this (it may be the wrong one, but I can't see a summer version on boots.com)

    http://www.cheapsmells.com/viewProduct.php?id=9509&pageNo=3&productSex=*&brand=Yves+Saint+Laurent&name=Paris+Springtime&search=

    Delivery is only 95p, and I can thoroughly recommend them.

    Back to Boots......................

    Absolutely & on that note off on the school run & it is POURING down. I need to get a move on having just eaten a coffee, 3 fresh cream eclairs & a double decker ( from boots as I needed to get over the £5 Boots spend )
    See what a professional Bootser you are - even after the trauma of your car crash, you still remembered something small to take you over the £5 spend - and chocolate, too! Excellent - you go, Girl!

    Hiya, CPG! Can I just ask what these were - surely not the £36 FitFlops that they have on Boots.com? Are they just ordinary beach flip flops? I'm intrigued!!
