  • i was at an oulet village type place down near portsmouth cant remember exactly where and they had a l`occitane shop there.the hand cream i buy for £11 at the time i think was £7-not 100%sure if thats correst but is near to being right just to give an idea of price difference.
    ive never seen a l`occitane shop at any other places i`ve been as an outlet bujt there may be others and i dont know how you would find out where they are as i deff dont thin l`occitane would advertise outlet places

    maybe someone on here knows if there are others

    Ooooh, I'm going on holiday in Southsea next month, so we're planning to go to that outlet village. They also have a Kipling (bags) outlet shop there. Excited about L'Occitane now. My friend loves their stuff! :D

    Thanks Jayne & JemTom: God, I'm such an idiot - I should have thought about an outlet straight away. I know all about them given that I used to work for one (not L'Occitane!). I'll look one up on t'interweb straight away. They may/may not have what I'm looking for in stock. Hopefully I'll get lucky.

    There's a L'Occitane shop in Manchester city centre, but if I can avoid paying full price, I will. It's nearly £18 for that particular hand & body lotion! :eek:

    Also JemTom, I've already tried Ebay but the only people selling it are professional traders who are selling it at the RRP, or what is the RRP by the time you add P&P. My only chance is if a private seller puts it on between now and Christmas, and I can't know that for certain.

    Thanks for the help guys! :T *Looks up outlets furiously*

    Thanks so much. Chickywiggle - I've follwed them and rung up the Bicester Village and they have what I'm looking for really, really cheap. The only porblem is that they won't post them out and I live miles away! :( What to do, what to do?!

  • i've been busy on the internet today - made a argos order - few toys for dd from the 2 for £15 deal. also got 2 suitable for friends children if they bring dd a present, otherwise will keep them until 2010 birthdays!

    ordered asda smartprice eclairs and werthers for pots of gold for xmas table in my asda delivery order. as well as ingredients for xmas cake and pudding.

    ordered dora pjs (£4.99)for dd xmas eve bag as well as Mr xmas mr men book won on ebay.

    been to aldi today and they've got all the foods for xmas out. got a ceebeebies cake mix set for £1 for dd xmas eve bag too.

    is anyone buying bits of xmas food each time they go food shopping yet and storing it away? was tempted in aldi but thought i'd probaby get tempted and eat it before xmas!!!:D

    Wow, thanks! :T :D

    (What does MOC mean?! :confused:)

    Can I use that code online without buying the magazine? Might be worth buying it to avoid P&P.

    Thanks sooo much for your help. Still gutted about the outle not posting things out: I used to work for a posh clothes outlet and we had no problems doing things like that.
