    I went shopping at Boots yesterday online and got all items half price. So I've now got the majority of pressies for birthdays and Xmas next year. I also got the free gift when you buy £18 worth of No 7 products. But I didn't spend £18, it was the original price that was over that amount.
    All in all I'm pretty chuffed with what I got.
    All I want know is Nintendo DS games for under £10!
  • I've bought in the Next VIP Sale, I spent *ahem* around £1000 but I've got stuff to the value of around £2,700. Scary. I've since checked the kids clothes and I *think* I may have overspent a little so some will either go back or go into the loft for next year. I also bought some bits that look fab but I never go anywhere to wear them but thought I would buy them and try them on anyway. That will make me feel special for half an hour!! LOL!! Still, free returns and all that!! The best buy was a £449 sofa bed for £199 though, I had been looking for one so I was chuffed to get a decent one at this price. Also got an 8MP Fuji camera for £49 and a Sat Nav at half price so either £67 or £76 depending on what one hubby wants to keep.

    I got most of my sale stuff in the sales before Xmas ironically and was buying Ruby & Millie bits in Boots for £5 each and 3 for 2. Bargain!! Also got 2 x £50 FCUK sets from Boots on Advantage points - so totally free. Not sure I need anything else, if I do buy anything it'll go away for Xmas next year.

    Kell, have you got Boogie? I got it for £4 in Zavvi but I've seen it cheap elsewhere. I am addited to it and it is the bext £4 I've ever spent on a DS game that is for sure.

    check out Argos, they have quite a few on at £9.99 or less at the moment!

    Was the first in our local Woolies today (no queue!) grabbed the following for the Wii:

    Zelda - was £34.99 - paid £17.50
    Guitar Hero World Tour (without guitar) - was £29.99 - paid £15
    Super Swing Golf - was £24.97 - paid 12.49
    & Smackdown Vs Raw 2009 - was £28.99 - paid £14.50

    Total = £59.49

    But the bill came to £78.42 because she charged me twice for Zelda. Rather than refunding me £17.50 she refunded me £27.49.

    Also bought Halloween on DVD (the Jamie Lee Curtis one) for £1.48! :D

    so I paid £49.50

    That was the best of the selection at our Woolies.

    I know what I've ordered in the sales but what actually arrives remains to be seen, especially with M&S!
