The £5 voucher is from the Boots Parenting club, see here you get booklets of vouchers when you join, although they do take a few weeks to come.

Accidentally snipped too much but can't stress enough how important it is to write a list :cool:

(Or to master the art of double quoting lol)

I think it was you passion ?... I read that you had given up with your mini album and returned to writing a list and attaching vouchers ( I hope I am right!) You were deffo right about the list I would have been lost without it.

Don't know if it will help but what I did was put out all my vouchers into piles of the same range iykwim then worked out which ones could be used together ( by dates etc ) This was the first list I have planned and the shop went to plan ... well nearly anyway.

(trouble is not many vouchers left to combine now)

I wrote about writing the lists and attaching vouchers and it was so good I think it's been deleted! :rotfl: But at the time, I'd had problems with SA's refusing vouchers from different stores, so I grouped all the vouchers together for each store and attached a list for each one.

Like you, I grouped the same types together, like the Expert acm vouchers with the Expert magazine voucher. Had the quickest Boots shops ever

Not sure if the vouchers need to be seperated anymore, as they seem to be going through ok in any store (thanks to geordie lass and pollsdolls for the advice about that )

Since then I've tried using the mini-album method, but I should add that since then, I don't think I've used an acm voucher or a magazine voucher

Back to the shopping list method for me lol. It works doesn't it?

Deffo works passion I would recommend it for anyone...also i wrote all the amounts and the total amount of points I should have got so I could query it if it didn't come out to what I had calculated.

Especially good yesterday when they kept trying to void TS shampoo although they told me it had been voided I knew it had not come off the total, so just had to get a refund in a separate transaction.

So THANKS passion it worked a treat;)

Not sure if it's recommended anymore, or whether it was an old wives' tale, but eating jelly cubes is supposed to make nails stronger. (But then you'd have to make sure your teeth didn't suffer the same fate as your nails )

Personally, I'd avoid the No7 cuticle cream, it made the skin around my cuticles really sore, and dd complained about her nails being soft and breaking, after using it. Look out for the Sally Hansen range of nail care in Poundland.

best thing is use a clear nail polish as it isnt nice chewing enamel acetate! Then as soon as your nails have grown a little, cut them straight, and keep doing this until say what was the top half of the nails have been cut and removed. Then most of the damaged nail has gone and the rest'll be stronger (Bit like cutting hair that has split ends!

the no:7 deal sounds good. (And I'd recommend the no:7 facial cream cos you use it anywhere as sun cream)
Where are the £5 vouchers coming from? Are they till spits or vouchers about? if anyone has one going spare..grovel grovel!!

The staff think I'm barmy enough without writing down the points total but it's a good idea.

I know I've said it before, but hogshead has a great method of buying one item for points to get another item. The only thing I can think of to explain what I mean is when the Nivea Q10 was giving out 400 points, providing you needed the Nivea, it enabled people to buy their next purchase using those points iyswim? Especially good if anyone was shopping for someone else that didn't want the points but wanted the Nivea for say ... half-price? :rotfl:

I'll have to look back at the posts Amelia's Mum, because I've noticed that posters were having problems with the TS.

I did a quick shop with oh yesterday for the laundry products that were showing as half-price online (thanks again to pollsdolls and geordie_lass lol) and on an acm voucher. It took ages to work out, and half of the stores' staff it seemed (all good SA's btw) but I can see people having problems with that one.

No thanks necessary btw x
