Hiya:hello:,
Just wondering if anyone has been to any of the Boots stores in Northampton or Milton Keynes and the stores nearby like Wellingborough, Kettering, Corby ect.

Been working all week :sad:and got 1/2 day 2moro, so will hopefully be visiting some Boots Shops. Just wondering what the sale stock levels were like in any of the stores near where i live, and if anyone could recommend a store that they have been to with any good sale items (and vise-versa.)

Is there any Boots staff that work in stores in this area that have loads of sale stock that they are putting on the shelves 2moro (:rolleyes2they have waited till I get 1/2 day to do my shopping lol :rolleyes:)
I CAN WISH:rolleyes:

:question:Seriously, any Boots Staff and Boots Shoppers with any helpful advice would be very much appriciated. Thanks:A .

I went to CMK Boots and the one in Bletchley by TKMAXX and the Next Clearance shop (can't remember what this area is called) today. All that was left was loads of the St Tropez tan set, some fluffy cat mugs set, some "adult" D***x sets :eek: and a few of the cheaper perfume sets like l'aimant. Yesterday evening I went up to Westcroft and the Boots there had about half a dozen No 7 gift sets but that was all. So not much to be had I'm afraid.
Loads of No 7 clearance suncreams and some other stuff, body polish and sauna mask I think at CMK.

OK. So all the sales stock has more or less gone now. What do I do with my £90 worth of points? *confused*

Mimi, if you bought your massive stash with cash or card, and have still got the receipts...

Take them all back - get a refund - and rebuy them with your points.

Bootsing is a long game - they'll be plenty of oppurtunities in 2009 to use up those points.

Don't know whether this is the right place to post, but figured it can't hurt. I've had an Advantage Card since I started at uni a few years ago, and I've never received any mailings with the vouchers etc. To be honest, I didn't even realise until I was at my fiance's parents' over Christmas and his mum received hers.

Anyway, my point is, does anyone know who I need to speak to about getting mailings in the future? I'm guessing there's no chance of me getting the current one, unfortunately. [/quote

If you start using your card regularly and make sure your details are up to date (you can check on .com) I think you will get the mailings. My OH and I both have cards but his doesn't get used much and he doesn't get the mailings I get.

It's used regularly, my details are up to date, and the box saying I want to receive them is ticked (just checked my online account again to make sure). This is what confuses me. Thanks anyway though.

Me too, I want.need a job in boots but only during sale time. lol. Staff are sooo lucky to have first dibs, but wouldnt everyone if you worked there? I think if it was me though I would be paying Mr B to work there! I'd spend that much. I wish I'd never laid eyes on this thread, at first I thought it all looked so confusing - now I'm just hooked! I think I need to go to rehab. lol.

.com sale - I spoke to CS earlier, I didnt ring to ask about the sale but it would of been rude of me not to, she told me they had of been loads of problems with the sale (like we dont know), and they had to take it off due to how busy they were. I did ask if I would definately recieve my order and she assured me I would as they have a fully stocked warehouse. I asked would the sale be on again. And the reply was we dont know yet as of all the problems. I was hoping for a definate answer like YES. My fingers are crossed.

Not much left in Belfast Boucher Road, anyone been to Lisburn or other Belfast branches today?

Hi Jakeysmum:hello:

I was in boucher road and ballymena yesterday, both were running really low on stock when i was leaving especially b'mena. I'm going to try belfast in the morning as im in anyway but im not holding out much hope as i think someone posted earlier that the stock wasn't great. I was last in sprucefield on sunday and they had little xmas stock left, although im sure they had a delivery since then so may be worth chancing?
