    I know by me I queried in one store ( not my local) why the section had been removed and was advised that they had had a 'visit' from the bosses and were told to tidy up the store so they had to remove it..the store has been nominated for store of the year (all staff with the exception of one No7 SA fab but don't think the store in itself is anything special) So perhaps there have been more 'visits' to stores asking them to tidy up?


    Got told the same when I queried in one store. Doubt they would have been nominated for store of the year though;)

    Me too, I've almost given up on this thread as it's got a lot of chat in it that isn't relevant to a lot of people - just look back over a lot of the posts this evening. Perhaps it should be split into a discussion thread and an offers thread, but I know this has been suggested before and hasn't happened.

    Basically, it means that fewer people get to find out about the latest offers because they would have to spend about half an hour searching through first and most haven't got the time. So, yes, I agree it's a shame the way this thread has degenerated from what it used to be...

    A combination of lack of time and laziness means that this thread (unarguably friendly and welcoming) has really helped me in my 'cold turkey from obsessive bootsing' campaign. Now I just have to grit my teeth and 'spend' my points! July sale, do we think?

    Pot ...... kettle, are the words that spring to mind when it comes to irrelevance, i haven't forgotten the unecessary snipe you made a few threads back and neither have a few others round here. Took me a long time to read your shopping list!!! The chat is what makes this thread what it is...... long may it continue :beer:

    Excuse me but what are training balls?? (pardon my ignorance)

    Also I happen to be the patron of the W.O.G.O (Wrinkly Old Grannies Organisation) www.wrinklyoldgrannies.org and we are not all wrinkly, well not all of us anyway. :p:p:p

    Just look at my avatar, it is Saturday night and I have just changed into my basque as I am feeling very glam tonight.

    I think the site has WOGO crashed with all the silver surfers logging on :rotfl:

    the training balls are here: http://www.boots.com/shop/product_details.jsp?productid=1083481&classificationid=1013466&slmRefer=000
    they were on dragons den you know!

    I haven't tried it ( as not got the voucher) but apparently the 600pts work with the £4.97 hand cream. ( can also be combined with the £5 off Olay, 500pts Olay and free wipes/cleanser voucher)
    This is a do-it-yourself test for paranoia: you know you've got it when you can't think of anything that's your fault.
