Hiya

There are usually quite a few bargains to be had in the clearance store in Beckton, but it just depends on what you find on the day.

The Sanctuary stuff (the orange range) is always really cheap, as are the baby clothes. They usually have a good selection of Botanics stuff for very small prices as well. They also usually have quite a few essentials (shampoo, conditioner, talc, soap etc etc etc) available.

The No7 and Botancis make up usually goes for anything from 25p to £2, I have bought no7 foundation for £1.50 that is still in store for £15ish. I also got the No7 summer edition sunkiss eye & bronzing pallette for £1.50.

The last time I was there, they did have quite a few battered Ted Baker 'awash with possibilities' suitcases (page 88 in the xmas book) reduced from £35 for £7.50 (i think, definately were not more than £10).

Some days though, they have nothing worth having. I will be going a few days after the sales finish in store, because I am assuming that anything not sold will be heading there!!!

just to talk about something else relevent, i Bought a ice cream sunday glass ( you know the big tall thingys) with a big long spoon that had a cherry on the top, very cute/kitsch ideal for a prop in a photograph! ( photography student!) and it was £5 from £10!

Be very very careful with this, we bought one for DS1 (7) for his Christmas. I took it out packaging, washed it and sat it on the work surface, put spoon in it, picked it up to put away in cupboard and the glass has snapped completely off the base.

One clean break! Im not very impressed, but typically dont have the packaging anymore to go back and complain either. Bought it with points so feel slightly better than if it was wasted cash. Havent told him yet so better try and get him another one asap!

Hi,
I got a P & P gift set before Christmas with a 375/250 advantage points voucher inside. It says that the 'coupon entitles you to 375 Advantage Card points when you buy ANY product from the No 7 range.' Although there is a No7 for men logo on the voucher, it came from a ladies gift set, and it says that you can get anything from the No 7 range. However, when I tried to use the voucher instore today, it wouldn't scan, and the SA just said that you could only use it for the men's range and wouldn't budge on this. Has anyone else had this problem?

Went to the big Boots in Belfast yesterday. As I am still a boosting virgin I got a bit carried away and wasted alot of my well earned poits on aa 50% sale e.g High School Musical Parfume sets, SJP Lovely and NO 7 Travel Bag. I am kind of regretting the last purchase as I think it may go in price later. Heard to SAs talking about the Totes gift sets which one was going to buy but the other said wait they will go down further very soon BUT no date mentioned.

Does anyone think I should bring the Travel bag back now in the home it will go down in the sale or just keep it?

PS I was reading the list that PATTY has started re points/money of coupons in girft sets. Can these be used with purchases in the 75% sale OR just in ordinary No7, Spa purchases etc?

Very few S&G gift sets but they do have a 3 for 2 on at the moment and loads of JKidd nail files for ones interested in boosting their points.

Thanks
