Then hand over 3 x No7 £5.00 printed vouchers
1 x 250 points cosmetic No7 voucher (from GWP)
1 x 350 points ACM voucher washing & bathing range
1 x 250 points GWP voucher for No 7 men's range

Total to pay - £9.75
Points received - 850

The printed voucher clearly says "One per transaction". So I think you'd need an extremely obliging SA to do this one for you.

I just begged my DD to go and try in our local Boots. I have sent her to get

1 tinted moisturiser £9.50 with voucher £4.50
2 eyeliner pencils £17.00 with vouchers £7.00
2 stay perfect eyeshadow pallets £19.00 with vouchers £9.00
1 Colour Miracle Nail Polish £6.50 with voucher £1.50

The total after the vouchers is £22.00 so in my reckoning she should get a No7 GWP.

I told her to call me if she has any probs, I will report back :rotfl:

Yes I think you would, my suggestion was in reply to the poster before me who commented that her SA's put 2 through at once.

7:eek: I didnt think that was allowed??!! Theres hope yet then!! lol desperatley wanted natural birth with 7 month old DS but gestational diabetes wouldnt allow it!!

They don't recommend it, especially if you have a history of big babies. But some consultants are more sympathetic than others, especially if you live near a big teaching hospital. I do and they generally are happy to let you have three C-sections, if there's no other contraindications. So it might be worth going back to them on this. Anyhow, if you got pregnant by accident what would they do? (And I do mean accident, btw, I'm not suggesting you go against a doctors orders.) Make you get rid of it?


Anyway, back to Boots. I took my No3 child (Second VBAC after C-section, natural drug free birth and me 43 at the time) to a school fair this AM and rather than stand in line for face painting I bribed her with the promise of a new nail polish on the way home. So got to visit Boots on a Saturday, which is a rare event, and she got the pick of the No7 polishes, courtesy of a £5 voucher. Voucher didn't scan of course and the SA (perfectly nicely) asked where I got it...told her by email and then had the lightbulb moment...is it only the B&W printouts that don't scan cleanly? My printouts are big and very sharp.

SA put it through manually so no problem there...except by that time little Miss Princess had found that iridescent green paint on eyeliner on the No7 shef and had fallen in love with it for, of all things, mermaid tattoos. Looks like another trip to Boots once I print off a few more vouchers, lol...

I thought it was online only and I think the advert in Glamour mag also said online only between 5th and 17th june while stocks last.

So will the hunt now be on for stores stocking it?

The Glamour mag with it's faux coupon that you don't really need to use to get the gwp, says to order Dream Lash online to "get your free gift before they hit Boots stores". So they'll be in a Boots near you at some point, lol.

Ok bad news I'm afraid, DD just called and told me the SA said no way can you do this. I got my DD to let me speak to the SA, I explained how my other transacton was done this morning. The SA said she should not have done it like this because it clearly states on the voucher 1 per transaction. She asked me where did this transaction take place and I replied I wasn't willing to say because I didn't want the SA to get into trouble.

DD not very amused with me and has left the shop empty handed
Now why didn't I have more vouchers on me the first shop:mad:

oh, also during my shopping trip today i noticed some boxes on the Max Factor lady`s stool, they were unopened, when i looked closely they were labelled as Max Factor new summer gift GWP`s, i kept hovering but nobody came along to open them so i could not get to see what they looked like.:)

Oooh my-old-mans-a-dustman

Can't you ring your DD and tell her to hurry up? :rotfl: Only joking of course but I can hardly wait to see if this works.

I have been printing mine out in colour and they have worked perfectly in 2 diff shops now so maybe it is the b & w.

How come as soon as I come back from a shop at Boots I suddenly find something I need to check out there or look for! :rolleyes:
