    Oh god, just remembered this - lady in front of me at the till getting some of the reduced toys but she only had 2 items (all are on 3 for 2) and the SA said "would you like to go and get another one? They're on 3 for 2" and she said NO :eek: SA again "are you sure? (looking stunned)" (bearing in mind, they're right next to the tills, so she didn't have to go far!) and the woman said "no, I didn't want anything else" :eek:

    I was *this* close <holds thumb and forefinger millimetres apart> to asking "well, can I have instead then" but managed to restrain myself :rotfl:

    OMG whats wrong with people:eek:

    even if you donr want anything else you could have picked something and gave it to someone whos poor,im sure their kiddie would be delighted or even dump it in a charity shop :(

    welcome hun.. i would mind one of those sets either:p:rolleyes:
    im not allowed to say what i think so ner!:p
  • That Max Factor box is soooo cute! I'm a GWP <s>freak</s> fan as well. In the days before I discovered the lovely Mr Boots, I would buy them from my friends. It's the 'dinkiness' of things I like.

    [insert innuendo of choice here]

    :o

    It's the same with mini perfumes...they are not just cuter than the full size, they are a zillion (approximately) times cuter! The JPG minis especially (not that I own them, mind you-just covet from afar, lol).

    "Buy me, Lady", said the frock, "and I will make you into a BEAUTIFUL & WHOLE & COMPLETE human being".
    "Do not be silly", said the Man, "for a frock alone cannot do that".
    "True", said the Lady, "I will have the shoes and the bag as well".

    I wear perfume every day, even on my own, cleaning in the house.

    Excellent, good work:D

    I love the new JPG one, got a sample the other day, think I am gonna have some of that too!

    I also wear perfume everyday. I have been known to miss my train to work because I had to come home again to put perfume on. I now have a mini bottle of my fave perfume in each work bag, (I even considered asking the man in the ticket office at the train station if I could store a bottle there for emergencies:rotfl: :rotfl: )

  • I agree Squiggs-it's criminal, innit? :( I know "This Morning" does a 'Give a Gift' appeal every Xmas, for example and a toy would have been brilliant for that, or similar(A hospice? A children's ward?)

    Some of my Bootsing bits and bobs will be going as tombola prizes for a children's cancer charity I'm a trustee for-it's just comon sense, really. A freebie's just not something you turn down-somebody somewhere would make good use of most things, or the money they could raise.

    I have sustained a bootsing injury! :eek: Nothing major though, I seemed to have damaged my finger from carrying too many toy filled bags today :rotfl: it's gone completely numb :eek: :rotfl:

    Got lots of toys 75% off and 3 for 2

    The SA who served me was absolutely brilliant, helping me find all the toys that were being reduced, I will be contacting CS to praise her up no end :T


    Anyway my pressie [strike]stash[/strike], [strike]cupboard[/strike], huge 3 door wardrobe is bulging at the seams lol, added today:

    1 x Boots LTP learn along lorry £5 (was £20)
    1 x Boots LTP Splish splash turtle £3.75 (was £15)
    1 x Boots LTP Brumm brumm driver £3 (was £12)
    3 x Moonsand under sea set £2.50 each (was £10)
    3 x Playdoh fuzzy pumper crazy cuts £2.50 (was £10)
    1 x Big hug Laa laa £6.25 (was £24.99)
    1 x Vtech sing and discover piano £5 (was £19.99)
    1 x Thomas the tank engine learn to tell time alarm clock £3 (was £12)
    1 x Boots LTP Healthy Harry game £1.50 (was £6)
    1 x Boots LTP Bits n pieces rhyme time £1.75 (was £7)
    1 x Boots LTP Bits n pieces monsters £1.25 (was £5)

    As it was 3 for 2 I obviously didn't pay for all of that, so £33.25 for £181.98 worth of goodies :T

    For anyone thinking that I look like a greedy so and so, I did leave lots on the shelves, but It is DD's birthday in 12 days and I thought I would give her party guests a little gift rather than loads of tack in a party bag ;)


    I also got some more perfume: the Dior J'adore summer edition (with the gold shimmer) for £11.50 :D I have lost count of how much perfume I have now but I think it's about 26 bottles :o:p


    What a great shop!!! What Boots was this?
