Could someone please help me out here. I have 3 of those £5 No 7 Voucher things. What can I get with them? I saw some Night Cream and tried buying that, but the woman at the till said it was not make up? Isn't cream meant to be make up? So I then went to the make up till and got some pink lip whatever it was, she said no to that too cos it was reduced. So what am I meant to get? Anyone got any ideas what actually qualifies? If so, please help moi out. Thanks.

Night cream would be classed as skincare. The cheapest thing to get is a nail varnish @ £1.25 or £1.50 or a bit more expensive an eye pencil @ £2. (those are the prices after the £5 discount)

One for ruby and passion. been told self scan tills are now working in PC. This is coming from a third party so don't blame me if its wrong!

Wrt the recall that people are currently going on about (sorry but i've only had chance to skip through posts) There is something to do with the ingredients and the packaging but the reason escapes me at the minute. This is NOT a public recall as there is no danger from any of the products affected. When a recall is issued to store, a till bar is automatically placed on that item to prevent further sales, just incase it was a safety recall. I know it affects about 40-50 lines across the store ranging from boots essentials to tb, t&g etc. The reason for this is that most of the designer brands are actually manufactured by boots, you can tell by looking at the address on the back, usually has a NG postcode. I shall try and get some more info and post back, but in the meantime, continue to use the products as normal, there is no danger (yet )

Funny you should say that but i picked up 6 x TB body wash ??? for .75p each and had them in my basket when a SA said could she take them back please as they were being recalled. I said I should have moved quicker and been out the door before she realised I had picked them up but she said that the tills would not have accepted them anyway

It's it just the women's body wash being recalled? I bought some a few weeks ago that hasn't been used yet -- TB men's hair and body wash. Not that I aim to return it, I just don't want it to cause some kind of rash when used!

Edit: Ignore that, as now it seems that the products are safe I'm not worried.

Just found out more info about the recall. They are having to change the packaging to account for a missing ingredient. The purpose of the ingredient is to make you go into your local store and say to the sa 'I love boots so much and all the lovely sa's that i feel you deserve a little something for putting up with us all off MSE' with that you will hand over your advantage card and the sa will delete all the points off it and hand it back. You will leace the store feeling a better person for what you have just done. Like I said before, there is NO need to worry
