Dont know if this has been mentioned but I used the £5 off Olay and alongside a parenting voucher for 600 points on total effects I managed to buy the facial wash for £5.99 I only paid 99p and gained £6 in points I thought this was fab.

:T Oh i may do that in the morning

Is it £10 you have to spend to get a tillsplit thingy :rolleyes:

i found my health card it had come and i had stuck it in a pile on the desk

My sons pull up pants will be half price with that....it is abit naughty that the parenting club is only allowed for under two year olds when i have been buying some sort of nappies/pull ups for a very very very many years due to problems.

I will have to do some hard con centrating in boots tomorrow i feel like i am going for an exam to get the best results or i will be sulking in here shamefaced.:rotfl:


Erm where would i get a parenting voucher or am i not allowed that one?
Thankyou

Nope, you have to spend £5 to get the £5 till spit.

And good luck with your bootsing tomorrow!

Always INSIST they scan the spit on the TD HANDCREAM.
It DOES go through so ask they call a manager by which time they may just try scanning it to avoid a confrontation.

On the front page of this thread it says that ipods are being discontinued, though in the free boots magazine my Mum picked up the other day it says they are selling the new style ipod nanos and there is a piccy of one too, so I'm thinking maybe they have changed their minds and are infact still selling them, I'm hoping to pick one up with my points, been saving them up for ages.

Evening all! Went bootsing (again!) today just to use up the till spits

TD facial wipes x2 - £7.98
Boots ultra towels - £1.79
Walker Sunbites crisps - 53p
Kleenex Balsam tissues - 49p
Total = £10.79

Handed over -

£5 skincare voucher
1/2 price Walkers sunbites (ACM)
Free kleenex tissues (from Haymax packet)
100pts WYB 2 time delay (ACM)
£2 gift vouchers (free from doing skincare trial from litmustest)

TOTAL TO PAY - £3.04
Got 108pts bringing my total up to 6092!

Got another till spit so went to another boots and bought TD anti blemish for £1.25

I tried to put all of this through the SS till but when it got to putting through the gift vouchers it wouldn't let me do it! Ended up having to void the whole thing and an SA tried to put it through a proper till. Problem was I had stuck all my vouchers in the SS till and the SA wouldn't believe me when I told him what vouchers I had used. :mad: Told me I could only use one voucher per shop! Stood my ground and told him the SS accepted them so should he. He then said he was going to let me have one of the wipes for free (he wasn't going to scan it through) but i wanted to use my 100pt ACM voucher (was that the right thing to do???) Still wouldn't believe that I had used other vouchers so I had to wait for ages for him to open up the SS till and take out all the vouchers I had used)

For all you London Bootsers -
large boots on Oxford street still has loads of epson printer cartridges and photo paper. Also has a HUGE amount of the TD wipes! Also has the canvas bags.

Boots in bond Street tube clearance has loads of Ted Baker for men and Hackett shampoo and shaving stuff, there were a few pairs of tights for the ladies (no TD wipes)

Boots, Regents St (near Oasis and topshop) has loads of reduced Hackett stuff (no TD wipes).

Boots, Carnaby Street had some reduced Ted Baker stuff too. They also have some of the elusive TD hand cream and a few TD wipes in stock (I nearly bought the hand cream but went for the anti blemish stuff instead).

Off topic, went to the hairdressers today to snip off the split ends (and about another 6 inches) and now I hate my hair! Not what i was expecting, looked ok in the salon when he spun me around and showed me the back but when I got home and had a proper look I started to take a pair of scissors to it because it's really annoying me now!

I have now run out of till spits and my bank account can breathe a sigh of relief! (just need to find somewhere to stash my haul now!)

thanks Hogshead as i'd forgot my list i was n't sure if the TD handcream would work or not.at my local Boots in North Cornwall i do tend to ask the sa to try vouchers, but its fairly small & doesn't have many items to get the various glitches on eg they didn't have the N0 7 highlighters,or the lipglaze i had to make atrip 40 miles away to get both of these
