Don't forget if you get reduced time delay there is a voucher in back of new mag for 200 points, used today on reduced items with no beeps.

Ooops yes, sorry rachel I forgot about that. Wouldn't mind but I even used one of those vouchers! Found a hand and nail cream reduced to £1.25 or something like that and so the 200 point voucher came in very handy. Have since used the hand cream and it's lovely - very rich though. Good for my old claws tho'

Ameliasmummy,
Did the SA not have a problem with the 1 per customer part of the Time Delay voucher? Im such a scaredy cat - I should have cleared the shelves of the reduced stuff shouldn't I! :rolleyes:
Tell you what, I hope there isn't a clearance section down by the back exit anymore! If I've been ambling around missing all the goodies you'll hear the scream from there. :eek: :rotfl:

Thanks for the update and all of the hassle of sorting through so many cheques and postal orders. :beer:


Anyone else not satisfied with the choice of smilies? I want more!! LOL. For a start a proper hugs one that doesnt look indecent like the one we've got now, look > :grouphug:

I couldnt find the model. me voucher, in the mag anywhere in Manchester today.

But I did find a little toddler running around by himself in theTrafford Centre.I took him to customer services, and was then jumped on by a frantic mum who was thanking me for finding him:)
I must admit I was a bit cross with her for losing him, until I saw how upset she was.

Hi Sally06

They have Victoria Beckham - £7.25, Coleen - £6ish and Shila Shetty £? sets as well:eek:
HTH

Thanks Melgirl. What's coleens perfume like, has anyone got this? I don't like the VB one. Not seen SS perfume before

The only perfume sets I saw reduced today were 2 Britney Spears sets 6.xx (one blue one purple, I think!) and the smilie sets at 11.25. Don't like any of them so bought none.

Buffy the Vampire Bat, I love Dune too! it reminds me of holidays:D

I spotted this reduced by 75% today. The whole range was reduced, including face creams etc...I didn't buy any as I have lots of eye/face creams. It's worth looking out for if you like this stuff. It was all on the normal shelf with reduced SEL

i don't think so as the booklet is bound in the magazine iykwim,it would be obvious if it had been ripped out, the reason I noticed today was the mag felt lighter...checked a couple on the pile and they were all minus booklet but ones on different stand had booklet in...deffo didn't look tampered with

thats what it was like a couple of month back, when they had a free sample of cream in the mag, but i asked a sa and she said, that they only put them into half the amount of mags, to save money or something, prob whats going on the now, with the vouchers.

still no new magazines in the Dundee high street one 2day

Had a rubbish shop today-
got no7 dreamlash mascara, liplicious and asked sa what constituted "facial suncare", she only showed me 3 p&p products in yellow boxes so got the spf 50+ one. I wanted the pink box full of bits as GWP but got the blue case with brushes, tweezers etc. instead and she said I couldn't choose the other one. Then handed over liplicous coupons, no.7 suncare, £5 off no.7 and 150 points on £20 spend. She scanned the £5 off before the £20 spend so it rejected and she gave it back to me.

Tried the £2 spit with TS, acm & mag coupon and £2 spit with model me and mag coupon. SA refused both combinations as "you can't combine offers" but did let me choose if I wanted £2 off or the points added.

I feel like giving up as I'm spending so much on things I wouldn't normally buy. Until I see the next good offer of course.

I picked up my new mag today after managing to get the UG Conditioning Mask for 9p with the hair spit and 1/2 price ACM (which has stopped appearing on my ACM - I wonder why!!!) and 2 reduced botanics exfoliating bars reduced to 38p each and on buy one get one half price and my total bill came to 66p. The lovely SA said after handing over my vouchers and seeing the bill go down to 66p 'you got some good bargains there!!' and I agreed I went to get another mag upstairs with something else and since getting home I have checked both mags and they both have the 'Your ultimate guide to Summer 2008' insert in page 66 but there is no sign of the T&G Model Me voucher in either of them.
I keep thinking I have missed it so could someone please tell me where it is and what it looks like so I can double check before taking out the back page in both and recycling them.
TIA

hi jemclajess, did you get your mags from the Luton branch? I picked up a couple the other day and neither of mine have the T&G vouchers inside will try a different store next week.

hi mrs t

If this happens again I would just say thanks but i will just leave it just now then and ask for your vouchers back, then try another sa if you can. If not go back another day, I have done this with no problems, as like you say you end up paying a lot of money for stuff you probably wouldnt have bought unless you were getting a good deal.

Dont be shy

This 500 extra points thing on 12th July, will I be able to get these points in addition to using one or more of my total spends vouchers? Pretty sure I have one for £20 something somewhere, which would make it even more worthwhile for me to spend £30.
Also need to know whether it's the initial total of goods or the total once any discounts are taken off (eg: 342 or whatever) I bet Mr B goes around randomly reducing stuff just to catch us out at the tills. LOL

Any rec's for dark hair dye? Ahem, effective ones. (that cover grey properly!)

Has anyone tried the new 10 minute one in the new H & B mag? The L'real excell10 Can't find a pic online but the Chocolate Brown does look nice in the mag.
I have quite a bit of natural red in my hair so if Im not careful the lighter browns turn russety on me, so Im after a darker hue.
