    Have just called Sis who works at Boots for the millionith time. She confirmed it is tomorrow. That's what they have all been told anyway. So if anyone lives near Bath it would be wise to check it out. Not sure why everyone else has been told its Wednesday. I would have thought it would be a Nationwide thing surely.
    red herring ?

    Last week, I went to Boots in Manchester on Tuesday ready to save myself a fortune. I waited at the glass doors on the first floor - the excitement in the crowd was evident - people were dressed for the ocassion - running shoes, bum bags, water bottles and umbrellas to carve a path through the crowds. Time was ticking on, and - I was almost hyperventilating with the the anticipation.
    Anyhow, the doors downstairs had been opened and lots of happy shoppers poured up the escalators like rats out of a hole - eager to spend quality time looking for thoughtful Christmas gifts for Aunty Flo and Uncle Bert They grabbed baskets and started to fill them up with fruit shaped soaps (only at Christmas) and short dated short bread - yum yum - well it is only 50p. We were still outside with our twitching noses pressed up against the glass - ' oh please let us in, before all the Brut gift sets sell out' we pleaded. Then a funny thing happened, the rampaging rats, sorry shoppers stopped and then began to look quizically at each other - and then even more bizarre they started to throw things back on the shelf. By the time we were let in the poor shop lady girl was cornered by people a-weeping and a-wailin because they had taken time off work to spend time really matching the gift to the relative - pity the poor person who got the banana shaped soap or the handy to have, but never to use, combined compass, corkscrew and golf tee set - you can get drunk on the golf course and still find your way out of the bunker.
    Oh how we laughed and rolled about with mirth - I got up 30 minutes earlier to get there!Anyhow, I have it on pretty reliable authority from 2 sources that the sale starts tomorrow - Tuesday19th
    Happy Hunting and keep away from the Banana soap
