    Hey Skibster, are you sure you have not been in my house taking photos, that could have been my photo :rotfl: :rotfl: . But when you come to think about it, we all have similar stuff.

    It's part of 'Boots law' that the OHs dont know ALL the facts about Boots prices and quantity etc.

    Great pics btw. keep them coming.:T :T I think the only things I dont have are the hairbands and that pink georgous thing!

    Had to give a photo upload a try -- here is pic of my load from the last week or so. I showed it to my husband and he muttered something about "crazy," but thank goodness he didn't ask how long it took me to acquire that load, or how much it cost! There were a few items I forgot to put in the pic, lol! It cost about £33+ pounds for all that (plus about £16 in points and £10 in a gift voucher) which actually doesn't sound like such a deal to me as I actually would have bought (if not for glitches and gwps) only the magazine with the Liz Hurly bag for £1! Maybe also the hand savior for £10.50. I have got to get a grip, lol!

    Hi Geordie Lass
    Thanks for all that. I had already tried your step one and it wouldn't work so I did end up doing the photobucket method but it's good to know how to copy from url's too!

    Step one works well when you want to copy/paste items from the Boots site to illustrate something .

    They are clickable too, and will take op straight to the page (Very handy that one and easy to do):j :j

    hero.jpg This one is just copy then paste here.

    :T :T :T Well done Glidergirl. 2 x Oral B toothbrushes as well I am very impressed. Nice selection of shampoos too :o Those Ruby wax bags are great for storing stashes in I have 7 of them all together. All organised by cosmetics, hair, bathing, aromatherapy etc. Any more pics, I love them, it's great.:j :j

    Wouldn't it be nice to have a little sub board just for us Bootsers? We could have threads like "how to arrange your stash to look it's best" and "tips for overcoming nerves when approaching tills with 120 NC bags in your basket" :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:



    Only 120 bags :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

    What a fab idea and like a plonker I stuck mine in a box :o

    Having brought [strike]all[/strike] most of the Tesco stuff downstairs to carboot I've now got all my beautiful Boots stuff together in the smallest bedroom - was even looking round to see where I could have some shelves put for increased displayage.

    Promise to get a pic sorted next time I browse - it's great to see everyones stashes.

    Re the subforum - pretty sure it's been refused before but always worth another try - that way glitches could have their own thread (providing peeps remembered to keep on topic - yeah right :rotfl: )

    love all the pics of everybodys goodys i love it! my bf doesnt understand even though i have tried to explain to him,he said i need councilling and whats the point,i love collecting points and after shopping there for 4 babies without an advantage card i think that every point and goodie i get my mitts on is owed to me lol, i used to buy all babys things there without an advantage card, i must of missed out on thousands of points and deals

    So true, collecting points in a clever way is hard work, and the pts are our reward for all that planning and collecting and filing and organising.It's like a military operation, and they are well deserved. :T :T

    I have bought myself some lovely things with my pts that I would never have treated myself to with actual money. :p The pts take away the 'guilt' of pampering ourselves. (we mums do beat ourselves up don't we?)

    Also if it gives us pleasure or a buzz collecting them, thats an extra bonus. The fact that a lot of people don't 'get it' doesn't worry me. I don't 'get' a lot of things people do, but to each their own. As for needing counselling, forget it. If you went, I bet you would end up with the counsellor 'hot footing' it down to Boots to try it out. Just think about the envy of most of the SA's when they see our bargains, or AC cards with lots of points. Dont worry about what you missed out on in the past, it's gone and you can't change it.

    Just think how lucky you are now to have this knowledge and skill to amass a load of free or money off goodies. It's everyone else who is missing out IMO. :j :j :j :j :j :j :j

    A marvellous idea :T :T :T

    ....... "The SAs in my local store hate me..... disguise tips please"

    They are just jealous!!!!!!

    This is what passion wears since she was 'sussed' out in her local store and her user name identified. No-one even looks twice at her now. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
