    Has anyone had confirmation yet of when the 75% starts ? I was in my local boots this morning and SA said she thought it was tomorrow but not too sure.

    Hi all :hello:


    Just had a wonderful hour in boots, got there for when it opened and it was bliss :) Shop was empty and I could wander round at my own pace...will have to do that more often :D

    Now, back to business...you may remember I posted a little shop last night but it didn't go quite to plan :o Got there and no mineral stuff to be had, and none on this mornings delivery :eek:

    So I did what any good bootser would do and improvised :D

    Shop 1 and 2

    x3 Reduced No7 Nail Varnishes £6.26 (I can't find receipt, I'm sure its here somewhere but hey ho, I think they were £3.13 and on 342 :beer: )
    x4 Pantene Sachets £3.88


    Used: x2 £5 off No7, x2 250pts voucher, £7.00 giftcard

    Total Paid: £3.28
    Total Points: 1300
    Total Saved: £10
    2 Blinkies Earned

    Shop 3

    x3 Pantene Sachets £2.91
    x1 Olay wipes £2.93 ( I needed these as the tons of JK ones I had don't agree with me)
    x1 Olay GWP £0.00

    Total Paid: £5.84
    Total Points: 308
    1 Blinkie Earned


    Shop 4

    x1 Meal deal £2.99
    x3 Pantene Sachets £2.91
    x1 Olay GWP £0.00 (naughty I know but its cute and scans at £0.00)

    Total Paid: £5.90
    Total Points: 308
    Total Saved: 96p (meal deal)
    1 Blinkie earned


    So...



    Total Spend: £15.02
    Total Points: 1916
    Total Saved: £10.96
    Total Blinkies Earned: 4
    Total GWP: 2

    :T :j :T :j :T :j :T :j

    So a really really good shop, got things I will actually use too.....love the olay wipes and nail varnishes are pretty pastels so great for spring...this boosted my points a little so then went and spent a few on a Bachs Night Time bag...only £7.xx and and Estee Lauder Skincare box with full skincare routine in, mirror, and cute washbag for £27.xx which are both bargains!! The contents of both are worth well more :T :T :T

    And last but not least....got some hot gossip too :eek:
    Was wandering round the sale isle (it was lovely...so empty lol) and overheard the manager and some SAs talking...it went along these lines...

    SA1: "Well, I don't know why they've sent us all this stock, there's so much on the shelves already, and with this delivery I don't know how we're going to shift it all, we needed this sale stock for boxing day, not now..."

    Manager: "Yeah, but most of the stock on shelves is stuff we can't shift, it looks like a jumble sale!! (can't argue with him here, its all the rubbish bits no one wants like tweed gift sets :rotfl: :rotfl: Well, not tweed but you see what I mean) With this delivery its mostly good stuff, ...so should sell well, but we really need to get it sold quick as we have so much new stock to bring out..."

    SA2: "Well, we've got futher reductions next week so it should go pretty quick.." (I'm thinking she meant 75% off :T )

    Manager: "Well, put some out tomorrow or wednesday, and see how it goes, then save most of it for next week, but I might have to ring and see about having a few evenings or even a weekend of higher reductions.....*big sigh*..."

    OMG OMG OMG.....girlies!!! It sounds like they have LOADS of stock, good stuff too....but shall have to wait and see what develops....I mean what they think is good stuff, and what is actually good I don't know...but....hey, lets wait n see....it could be every store the same? Or it could be nothing......but its exciting!! :D

    I spoke to the manager in my local Boots and she said the 14th as well.
