    Similar things happened in WHS, Debenhams and BHS. I think there is now a feeling of desperation in the shops, because as the workforce will be returning on Monday en masse, there will not be the spending power about, and it's a "do or die" situation now.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Mr B does not decide to start his sale earlier than the 14th. Someone mentioned that Lloyds had started their online sale. My neighbour said that Lloyds was now owned by Boots - is that right? :confused:

    :eek: Is the mascara yellow?? Or did you just mean the packaging?
    "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".

    Hi

    I would personally use bits out of them and re-package in a gift basket. I would not give the entire thing as a gift as it is very obviously a freebie!!!! If you combine different GWP then so long as they weren't say the mini foundations I don't think people would know it was a freebie.

    That is what i do - some of the packaging is so obviously a GWP !

    Hi, first post and a bloke!!! (a real rarity for this thread me thinks).
    I bow to the mass wealth of knowledge on all booster related queries and have one of my own.
    I use the No7 skin care range for men. At the min` you get a £5 No7 voucher for every £5 spent instore, can this voucher be combined with the 3 for 2 offer on mens No7 products? This would bring the price for 3 items to around the £8 mark, a great saving for me as I missed out on the half price giftsets!!!!

    Any help for this knight in distress would be greatly appreciated.
