    Oh Dear........ just thought I would 'pop' into Sainsburys on my way home from dropping DS at his dads and spent more money!!! :eek:
    Its so easy to get carried away with these things I have spent about £200 in Sainburys but not all of what I bought is for xmas as its DD's 3rd birthday in june so will leave some in loft til then.

    In store I bought......

    Peppa pig dressing table (cant see this online!!) for £22.49
    Playdough pack of four £1.24
    and some princess tiara/phones etc... all £1.50 or there abouts!

    BUT.................. ive just noticed that the table is only £29.99 in Argos normal price and reduced to £22.49 so thinking that will be going back to Sainsburys tomorrow with my disappointed face!!! :mad:

    i was one of the people that stayed up till 12am last night to grab some bargains, all was well untill i tried to pay, and it wouldent accecpt my card details, a hour later i gave up, and was on the phone to the bank 1st thing this morning, all was well with the bank.

    then i rang sainsburys to ask why they wouldent process my order, the man i spoke to just kept saying how they had processed so many orders last night, this was after he tried to tell me the sale dident start untill 3am!!

    i dont know why they wouldent process my order, im gutted!:mad:

    by this time EVERYTHING that i had put in my basket has sold out. not happy!!!!:mad:
    Had exactly the same thing happen to me bernie. I tried for about 3 hours but it just wouldn't process my card. Thought I was the only one. Everything I wanted had sold out this morning too. Not a happy bunny here either :(
    And if I really were an angel, I'd float over your bed
    Each night a different dream of me I'd plant inside your head
    And if I were an angel, I tell you what I'd do
    I'd appear in a vision and I'd give my wings to you

    I'm not convinced it's that a good a sale

    I went in store this evening & brought:

    chatting charlie and lola for 14.99
    x3 colour me lola for 8.49 each
    High school musical microphone 6.49
    play doh 10 pack 2.99
    play doh 4 pack 1.24


    went into boots afterwards (for £12 points with £50 spend) & comparing prices realised that the prices have been inflated for the sale so the savings aren't that great on everything

    had i brought the 3 charlie & lola from boots would have paid £20 on 3 for 2 as they are £10 each
    chatting charlie & lola is £19.99 in boots - so you see, not great savings & will be returning to store.

    Also noticed that prices in store are more than online - colour me lola is £6.50 on line.

    Although will be keeping the paydoh as worked out ok.

    Still think that the bikes & ride ons were a bargain on line but i can't see them coming back into stock online.

    Website states ' offer available til Nov 3rd while stocks last! :rolleyes:

    Im hoping this isnt the last of the stock online........they should get more in as im sure they re order once it is OOS. :confused:

    But then again...... it will be just my luck as I made a big boobie on DS's only pressie I got him! He wanted Razor Spark Scooter... NOT the razor ripstik! :rolleyes: DOH MUM!!!!! :o
