ANYONE KNOW IF THERE'S ANY SALE STOCK LEFT IN LONDON COLNEY?

Sorry, don't mean to shout but I've asked this question quite a few times and no one has answered. :cool:

As I've not been able to get to the sale in I did do an order online at 10.10am on Wednesday 10th. After many failed attempts at paying finally did and got a confirmation email. To my surprise my order was waiting for me when I got home today. Very pleased as it's got my little one's prezzies for the year. :j

Sorry, to hear about others problems.

Broclo - i have dozens of boxes of Gelli baff and gelli baff bubble bath if they are of any use. They are quite heavy but i am willing to send you a few. I also have loads of other kiddies novelty bathroom bits i could send too. My loft is full, reminds me i must get on and ebay it all.

A bit of advice please - when the sale was at 50% i ordered an item, i was then able to purchase itinstore and tried to cancel my order. I did this and was refunded for the item. a few days later my item arrived, i signed for it as i wasn't sure what it was a the time.

I am sure that some of you will say that it would be really dishonest of me to keep the following items but i am tempted to keep them and give it as a gift. the value is only very small. what would you do?

Awww you sweetheart! Do not send anything too heavy though :eek:

Had to google gelli baff...omg looks like fun!

Will have to do a few kiddies ones then as forgot i have a load of character flannels from superdrugs 10p sale and they will not be 'fashionable' when my two would use them

Worked out I have enough stash to do 28 themed baskets :eek:

I am going shopping tomorrow
I managed to empty the shelves in the Llanishen boots but was wondering if anyone knows of any sale stock left anywhere in Cardiff?

Ooh what did you get from Llanishen (my local when I'm back home!)

From what I've heard Cardiff Queen Street has hardly anything left.

Help with baskets for charity

Completely clearing my stash of bits I will not use and are too pampering for the local womens refuge(the only want basics!) as my local disability challengers(helps disabled children in locl area) are having a spring fayre soon and i'm going to do some baskets for their raffle etc

I've not really got anything to swap, but if any of you have any of the following it would save me buying more for the baskets as I've spent alot already towards them and want to make the baskets briming over so they get lots of tickets sold! I've basically got the big toiletries it is just the finishing touches i'm missing for them!

JK Nail Files (for pamper baskets)
Soothers (for baby baskets)
Baby flannels or Ramer sponges (for baby baskets)
Shower lilly/puffs (for bathing baskets)

Feel bad asking, but thought I would as know your a generous lot and some of you have 3 million jk files!

Thanks

Well I'm really pleased with the Bath Lilies, scrubby scrunchy thingies that I got from Wilkinsons for 39p!!!! I've crammed one of these into each of the Oreal GWP boxes, which I use as cheer-up presents.

I'll be going to Wilkinsons in the next week - would you like some? They had lavender, and white, and another colour - which for the life of me I can't remember.

Let me know what you'd like. I only got 2 JK files, but I do have some ordinary emery boards if these are any use.

Just to let people know that my sale items arrived today. My orders were placed at 3.29 and 3.42 (ish...off the top of my head as .com playing up again now). The first order never went through as far as I was aware but still showed on .com as pending and then dispatched despite no confirmation e-mail but an e-mail to tell me about despatch. Second order I had a confirmation notice for and then a despatch notice. MAny similar items in the two orders as when I went on for the second time my basket had been emptied (well that's what I thought but obviously this was because the order had been processed) and I started again but adding a few different bits and different quantities. Mostly toys. Total comes to about £100 with the 2 orders. Am not going to send anything back now as think I'm lucky to have recieved anything and am sure that all the stuff will come in useful for the 17 children we buy presents for throughout the year and at Christmas.

Just a quick question: I ordered 2 of the chocolate slab packs (6 bars with lots of lovely fruit and nuts in that I can't touch as have started my post pregnancy diet - and lost 6 pounds in the first week - but couldn't resist for gifts etc). Anyway, when they turned up, they had been placed on their side in the package rather than lain flat and as a result both packs were open and the chocolate had fallen out into the box. The bars are not individually wrapped and therefore all of the chocolate was touching other things in the box which I don't think is very hygienic and makes them a bit null and void as gifts....what should I do?...please don't tell me to eat them as I'm already fighting with the little devil on my shoulder telling me that that is the best course of action for them ha ha! What will CS do if I call them?

TIA Nuninge

Surely cs will offer some points or similar to compensate. Always worth a try. If not, either give them to someone who's not dieting or throw them away-rather than eat them for the sake of it. You have done so well, do not turn back now. You are succeeding where so many people (including myself) fail miserabley, so don't do it. Keep up the good work :T
