Hi, I'm still sat here waiting for this 75% sale to start. I can't shop in store. I do all my shopping online. It's getting to a point now where I can't get on with my chores! Like I need an excuse!...
Anyway, I've come up with a conclusion to keep me going, but the more I think about it the more it starts to make sense. See what you think here is my feeling, and it's only a feeling.
I think the 75% sale will start today and here is why:
Okay, The 50% sale started online on Xmas Eve, 2 days before store sale. Today is 2 days before the store sale or so we are led to believe, The online sale didn't start till 2pm. I did receive an email about this sale but not until 2:14pm on that day. I can't remember if I was informed by email of last years 75% sale (can't check, new computer since then) but if I was I'm sure it will have been after the sale had already started. So in my opinion there is a good chance this sale will start this afternoon! Wishful thinking maybe!
I have faith, I have hope, I believe this sale will start today!.... Maybe if we all believe! Now, repeat after me I have faith, I have hope, I believe etc........ LOL

ill keep my fingers crossed, but seeing as i have been checking the comp every couple of hours since last tue, i can wait a bit longer!!

unless it goes live on .com wed morning as we are all trying to get instore, now that would be painful!!

Just when I thought I was going to grab some much needed sleep, angelbrandy posted her theory and I love it (thanks ab); and it has convinced me that today is the day for the .com 75% sale (I have faith!!), that I now have my laptop in bed with me!!

Just saw some posh Pantene Leave In whatever it was on the clearance shelf at my local. Thought I would give it a whirl to see if I got the 100 extra points and it did. Went to get another 3 before the SA that was serving me cleaned them out for herself. LOL.

Have a look at your clearance shelf, if they have Pantene stuff at less rhan £1, then get it, you get 100 points back per item.

Got some meal deals too, and did not get a BLUE, so I pouted and asked and she gave me 1 after that.

Hope all is well. Best wishes.

PS. Dewsbury store has ADMIT IT YOU WANT ME sets in stock.
