hmmmm, you're all confusing me now I was planning to go to the next and boots sales tomorrow (got what I really wanted pre sale, and got the bits I missed online sale) but don't know whether to bother as by the looks of it, it seems rubbish?! but then......if I don't go I feel I'm missing something lol..


Seriously though, is it worth a trip to boots judging by how it was today? Anyone who has been already, got ant advice on bits they think would be left? or worth a look?

Any advice appreciated ]

I was in and out of boots in about 15 mins this morning, tbh i was very underwhelmed. But thats probably because i had already got the bits i wanted before xmas and wasn't tempted by anything else even at 50%. The only reason i went in was to look at the perfume sets. I got the very wang princess handbag set thingy half price as i missed out on it online, its so lovely:D and i also got the SJP Lovely one. There were no Daisy sets in either boots or debenhams, so i treated myself to the necklace solid perfume at full price in debenhams anyway with some xmas money- its really adorable and definitely worth looking at if you're a marc jacobs fan.

I did see plenty of the lancome, clarins and clinique sets that were brought out for xmas (skincare, body stuff, makeup), all were reduced by a third so may be worth popping out for if you were after any of those. It was getting really busy when i left, and i saw a couple of women with loads of the big red R&M sets, and some of the FCUK bags (loads of these in belfast this morning btw). All i could think was how much better a deal they would have got buying them while they were OOTW and on 3 for 2 :eek:

I really don't think you'd be missing much hun if you didn't go in, especially if you got what you wanted online. Its definitely worth a nosy if you happen to be near a store but not worth a special trip IMO unless you've your eye on something IYSWIM. x

thank you hunni, that was a FAB breakdown of what to expect :T And I am so happy you mentioned the vera wang handbag set, I managed to bag one in the online sale so am glad its just as pretty in person

Am really really after the FCUK bag, couldn't get to boots when it was offer of the week so would love one and would be paying in points but I have a feeling they may all be gone tomorrow

But thats great news about the clinique/lancome stuff, I use bits from both as well as estee lauder so may be worth calling in to have a look....I have to go to town tomorrow anyway to go to next (gift vouchers burning a hole in my pocket :rotfl: ) so may pop to boots afterwards

Thank you

Hiya I went into broadmead and avonmeads, there is quite a bit of stuff in them both just depends what you are looking for I would say it is worth having a look but if its soap and glory don't get your hopes up lol.

Yup, it would be doing my bootsing cred no good at all not to just 'pop' in I love vera wang and since the handbag set contains about the same amount of perfume as a bottle, for £17.xx its a absolute bargain and one of the best boots ones I've had I will keep everything crossed for a FCUK...you never know, the boots fairy may be kind to me

Its really helped to know what to be looking out for, you are an :A

Sounds like you are feeling better hun!!!! Good luck tomorrow, hopefully all will be at the Next sale so Boots will be empty for us!!!

Well still got the cough, but the points MUST be used. I hope there are not loads of customers in Boots. I swear if anyone gets in my way, I will just pick them up and throw them to a side. I've got everything planned out in my head. I want no disturbance. Hope you get lots of bargains too Angie. Enjoy.

Popped into London Colney and I have to say the sale was rubbish. The shelves were bare and the only thing I bought were some socks for my little one. I doubt they'll be anything in the 75% sale - shame as there was a really good selection last year!:rolleyes:

Thanks Babe - not much I need really. If I can get the Lauren Romance gift set then I might be tempted!! I hate people getting under my feet as well Mimi, feel like I want to push them out of the way sometimes:rolleyes:!!!

Same!! I was there about 30 mins after it opened, and the other one around 45 and there was no S&G at all (apart from the glove story thingy). Maybe all the staff got it beforehand? it was manic with people buying perfume sets etc. I got bashed a few times !
Hope everyone finds the goodies their looking for!! :T :T :T

I wondered about the staff too; I'm pretty sure they have grabbed super-goodies at my locals before. And those "Admit it, You Want me" sets that they definitely kept in the stockroom at one of my locals before Christmas, telling me to come back on Boxing Day when they would be 2.50 each, but they wouldn't leave them on the shelves for 5 each before Xmas ... well, let's just say that was fishy, like they were holding them back for themselves to buy when they would be cheaper. And as s&g non-xmas items were still 342 today, I imagine those "Admit sets" were 2.50 AND 342 -- and not a one to be seen on the shelves. Very iffy <sigh>.
