  • Hello, bit disappointed this morning. Got up extra early to go to the Boots sale before work but fell down the stairs and banged my head! So sat at the bottom of the stairs for half an hour fake crying, feeling sorry for myself. I do like a bit of melodrama! So now I have to go at lunchtime and by the look of this thread all the stuff will be gone!:mad:
    Only 9 minutes left until I can go on my lunch tough!:j
  • Oh my goodness - got into my local by 9.30 and all shelves were nearly bare (only tat left). Lots of women (MSE'ers?) with 20+ bags each. One woman had about 30 large bags of stuff (it wasn't me, honest).
    One good tip is to try the little Boots: there was a lot of good stuff in the tiny one near me - the scavengers probably don't think it's worth their while going to the smaller stores.

    P.s Also managed to get the P&P Set online, and the S&G Glam Slam....which is what I really wanted!!

    Ah, so you're the one who nabbed those out of my basket in the seconds before I could hit "pay" lol. Those were the main things I wanted, too, but didn't get any. Ah well, I got some booze for the hubby and a few little bits -- all of which will probably still be around for the 90% off sale, so not sure there was a point (except for the whiskey sets, those probably won't last).

    Fwiw, people have said stores do re-stock. Mostly more of the same, but at least you can expect there will be a bit more.

    Also don't forget to print the voucher from AC 150 points for £30 spent.
    I did not use it, as I split my transactions to get blinkies :D
  • Some no 7 Party purses and small compacts left, no p&p sets or artist things left. Some Accessorize bits and some T&G sets, Fresh sets and then the usual bits n bobs.
