Cool Water Game £8 after fragrance voucher
Lacoste giftset (30ml Touch of Pink and MF Masterpiece mascara) £12.50
UG glitch x 2 @ 39p
17 nail varnishes x 2 £4 using ACM voucher. Thank you bunbun2 :A
17 GWP
Served by the store manager (Marketplace) much to the horror of DD (Bootser in training)who had been put in charge of the UG glitch :rotfl: Manager couldn't have been nicer and was amazed to see the products go through at 39p each, much to DD's relief :T
Went off to Darlington for a session in Primark and nipped into both Boots stores for a quick look:
Bodyform with tins x 2 @ 99p
Neutrogena face scrub x 2 @ £1.75
Also saw the S&G pink cosmetics purse sets on clearance at £5 but left them there.
Got lunch from The Store Whose Name Shall Not Be Spoken, meal deals for £1.79
:j sandwich, crisps and Coke, very tasty it was too, earned a voucher for 10% off a future purchase. Be afraid Mr B, be very afraid :eek: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
Great shop geordie_lass :T :T
Did your store have a sign up for the 2 for £4 17 Nail varnish. There was none in mine so I didn't try that one.
I bet DD was really pleased with herself getting the Ug glitch, did she get to keep the goodies?;)
You are setting a precedent as once she is hooked it will be a case of 'Mum can I have some money to go to Boots as they have this great glitch I want to try':eek: :eek:
Meal deals at 'The other place,' I didn't know they did them. How do they compare?~ What goes around comes around ~0 -
No UG vouchers for me in the ACM 
Also tried to use 500pts Suncare from ACM with the 500pts Suncare from recent mailing - BEEP!! till said duplicate voucher and sure enough, the bar code was the same! I so wanted those pts.....0 -

Hey pollsdolls
I didn't notice any signs for the 2 for £4 17 nail varnish but it's an ACM voucher, not a general offer, so I guess that might be why.
DD was thrilled to bits with the UG glitch and yes, she got to keep the goodies
She's already a little hooked on Boots and has her own AC, she has to pay out of her pocket money though, there would be no stopping her otherwise :rotfl:
The meals in "the other place" are quite good value, sandwiches are tasty enough and there was quite a good selection. If you just want a sandwich, Walkers crisps and a choice of Coke, big bottle of Ribena, or bottled water then it's a good deal.
Boots are better value if you are going for the triple sandwich, dessert and orange juice though

Whoops I didn't get one so just as well I never tried.

I just assumed it was a store offer.

I've never ordered from .com but I'm sure CS would be able to help you amend your order if it hasn't been despatched yet.i_wanna_save_money! wrote: »hi is there any way i can add more items to an order i placed about an hour ago, or do i have to place a seperate order and pay for P&P again? thanks
They'll be open tomorrow morning (Sunday) so you could phone them and try. The number is in CPG's first post in this thread.

Hi
They also took back my SMA progress that had been recalled ok too, bought it in Boots earlier this week.
Can I ask why your progress was recalled because I bought 12 tins of the stuff from Boots last month???
Still reading through thread so apologies if this has been answered. I'll lose my place if I don't ask now.Here come the girls....100% Gorgeous!!!0 -
