A note on the Botanics sets: The three jars are stuck together with double-sided sticky pads. I'm not sure it will all come off if I separate them. But you can try removing the bottom one first (tape stuck on the bottom to stick it to the box) and if that doesn't come off, you can just buy a long slim gift bag (or wrap them all in cellophane) and leave them stuck together -- that's if you want to ditch the box, which I do as mine are torn.

I'd opt for the cellophane skibster, those double-sided pads are near-impossible to remove aren't they? Although I recall pollsdolls recommending something for removing sticky labels which might help, so if I can find the post (unless this has been answered) I'll drag it back down.

Hi all

Well I am not long back from a very embarrassing Boots shop.

Went with 10 printed out vouchers for the £5 off NO7 separated them all off - 1 for each product - so I had 5 x Nail Varnish, 4 x Lip Liners and 1 x Nail & Cuticle cream.

SA said "Where did you get all these from?" and I said "From an email sent to me by Boots". I just knew what was coming next. She said "You cannot use all of these together", I said "I'm not using them altogether I have them all set out individually as it clearly states 1 per transaction". She then said "Well I am going to speak to No7 counter about this as it does not seem right you are getting so many expensive products for so little money".

There was a huge que behind me and I was mortified, honestly. Off she went, no lie she was gone for over 5 minutes. She came back and said nothing and proceeded to put each item through. I waited a few seconds and said "What did they say?" She point blank ignored me!!! The people behind me were furious with Boots for only having 2 tills on and also giving off about me holding them up!!

I was sweating buckets as she had previously put through a GWP on only £10 of No7 products (after bogof's) and I just thought she was going to get that checked out too.

I thought I was going to go into early labour with the stress, I felt so like a thief. Don't think I will be taking advantage of these glitches again girls, that was scary :o

Ps sorry for the ramble!!

I nearly just spat my (well deserved) glass of wine over my screen then, absolutely hilarious!


I have been wondering who may have used the most No7 email vouchers, I think I have used around 10, which is rubbish, come on bootsers who's struggling to move around for a sea of No7?

minx01 did good

Can't be bothered to move my weary bones today lol, but I think between me and trusty OH - (who needs more training after reading sarah skint's post about blow erm drying lol) there's about 12 nail polishes, 6 concealers (I keep losing them ) a couple of lip gloss things at £3.50 (after the voucher's taken off) so not bad really

Must stop using OH's advantage card though as he's still getting vouchers for handbag dot com :rotfl:

Oh forgot to add on a previous transaction, I got the CKIN2U for £7.50 using my spare £5 fragrance voucher and the SA gave me another £5 off fragrance that the previous customer did not want

Talking of vouchers has everyone received theirs that I sent out???? :beer:
