    Corrr I can't believe all the problems people had, mine was relatively pain free at 4am!

    Even managed to put in a second order of 4 things I hadn't noticed before.

    Surprised what stock is still left on the website.

    If it helps, I used Google Chrome to do my shopping.

  • Hi fellow boosters,

    Haven't been on here in a long while, Went to Boots Birmingham high st.THIS A.M It was busy in the sale section as i popped in b4 wrk about 8:30am. Plently of stock but going very quick. No. 7 shelves were nearly empty. Toys mainly girls. loads of men and women gift sets and ya R&M. NO S&G. Just logged on to say THANKS about the sale dates.
  • Been to Basildon store this morning at 8.30 am quite quite when I went in, grabbed two big blue bags and filled them full, spent £44 and saved myself £134, really pleased, as I was coming out it was getting quite busy. The selection was fantastic basically we have a double store and one side was full of bargains!!!
  • I can't even access the site, been trying most of the morning! anyone else having this problem.
    A little thanks now and again would be nice.;)

  • Went to Sheffield Fargate this morning,
    manage to get a few bargins, i didn't go mad as i'm going careful (ish)
    there were a lot of NO7 gift sets even the big makeup that was £70 but
    didn't know anyone to give as a gift so left that. Not much in the way of toys.

    Was getting very busy as i was leaving,

    Thanks for the tip off!!

    Well, I'm glad I went to bed last night.

    I'm not surprised it crashes when some people have £500 worth of stuff in their basket though. That's the annoying thing in store, a few people grabbing everything and no-one else gets a look in.

    In fairness to Mr Boots, e-commerce has only been going in the UK for just over 10 years, give him time! ;):p

    Morning Ladies

    I hope that the Boots fairy has been kind to you all!

    I decided not to order online and popped into a large boots on my way to work this morn.

    In everybodies haste to get a bargin people seems to have lost common curtousey and manners. I was pushed and shoved and at times raced to grab a product on the shelf.

    I hope that there were not any MSE'ers in the rude lot i ran unto this morning...I ended up fed up with people that I picked up a few bits and then left as I couldnt be bothered with peoples bad attitudes!

    Rant over!

    totally agree with you there. I experienced the same in my Boots, people ramming into each other with trolleys piled full of overflowing shoppping baskets, no manners and rude people.
    I did one good deed and gave away the last No 7 overnight bag to a helpful SA who asked me if there were any more. TBH I was trying to decided whether I could justify it and as I'd got the fcuk OOTW I decided against it.
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    Just back from Oxford Cornmarket Street. There were around 15-20 people waiting for it to open when I arrived at 8:20am :eek: Didn't think there was much hope of getting anything I had wanted but managed to get everything on my list :D :j :j :j
    Everyone was very polite and civilised- certainly no pushing or shoving like others had experienced elsewhere :eek:

    I looked out for Iieee but couldn't see anyone with a pushchair!

    There was a fair bit of stock and it was going quite quickly. By the time I left at 9:25 it was quite busy. Hopefully they will have more stock to put out- they definitely did last year and with sales being lower etc this year I would have thought they may well have more goodies to come out in the stock room.

    Burnt my points and a £10 voucher from valued opinions and only had to pay £1.97 real money :D :j Got some lovely bits for Birthday and Christmas presents so I am so chuffed and excited :D :j

    Thanks to all for info on sale dates etc, I am one very happy bunny :D

    Hope everyone gets what they are after- good luck peeps :A
