    Such a bad day!!! :mad: :mad:

    Went to put my card into the ACM, and it wouldnt work.. so i was confused why not.. Went to a different one tried again, wouldnt work. So went to the till and asked if they could see why? He put it into the machine.. And guess what, there's something wrong with the bloomin' chip :mad:

    So will have to ring tomorrow and order a new one.. And probs take around 2/3 weeks :(:(:(

    How will i cope??
    Also will have to get today's receipts validated..
    Eugh, so annoying.. :cry:

    thats strange, the smaller shop, the better deals (not always :D). but i have tried two stores in my town, and the small one, had many bargains to take away! and the bigger one, didnt have any reductions at all!

    I'll have to try that, I live in a city with at least 5 boots but I go to the biggest one at lunchtimes (I look out on it from my desk at work). I thought it would have most bargains but maybe I should try the smaller ones which don't have acm's if I take acm vouchers with me.

    I used to buy lunch from m&s but now I spend the same money shopping in boots and buy lunch with the points.

    ...But did do a good deed today :D
    A woman was looking at the pantene so i asked her if she had a boots card, she said yes and offered her the 200 points off the pantene range, obviously telling her she could get a £1.79? shampoo and use the 200 points :)

    Has anyone got any spare JK wipes at all???
    Will pay SAe etc etc?
    Can also send 17 GWP??

    I have been thinking about getting the Fit Flops for a while, then they went out of stock in all sizes. Now they are back again and I have done the following order:

    Fit Flops £36
    Jemma Kidd Nail Buffer x 4 £16
    TOTAL: £52
    POINTS EARNED: 2208

    1000 for the Jemma Kidd
    500 for spending over £50 (Boots automatically add on)
    500 for £50 spend (Voucher code)
    + Free postage

    So to my mind, I have got the Fit Flops for £30 plus the nail buffers free for pressies, as I will use the points on essentials and (hopefully) bargains in store. Unlike a lot of people I have no problem at all in spending my points!!

    Ordered similar:
    Fit Flops £36
    Baby wipes 3 for £3 x 21 £21 and 800points
    500points over £50
    500points code

    So 2007 points and £57!

    Wipes for free and will use them in no time, lol! Can't wait to try the Fit Flops.

    HC GLITCHES/OFFERS
    For those who get the voucher from the HC mailing for 50%off a smartcard for your weighings these are currently going through free with the voucher plus 400pts. Thanks Zoecrims.

    I read the above from the first page. I have a "50% off when you buy a BMI smartcard for 12 weigh-ins" but I don't understand the glitch.....:confused:

    Please could someone explain for me?

    TIA....


    hiya,

    i was wondering how this works too,
    is the voucher only with the health care mailing? ive not got any mailings so far,
    how would the glitch work?

    thanks :)

    What ACM vouchers are you looking for? I'm sure some of us can spare a few until you get sorted:D
