Can someone tell me what the FCUK stuff is like. Everyone's talking about how good the bag is but I'm more interested in what's in the bag :rotfl:

jamtart6

im not that keen on the stuff actually lynsey! i bought it purely for the bag. i like the elle macpherson stuff though

JRRD

I have bought x2 of the bags for presents...........but out of interest, how much do think the bag would be on sale in a shop, if you were just going into a shop to buy the bag on its own.

bebebelle

I always give the stuff inside to my lil sis as Im not too keen either. But the bags are to die for. i was hoping it would be patent again,as I loved last years , but this one is great too.

Hi Jamtart and bebebelle, I thought I might like it as what they say the smell consists of sounds very similar to a perfume I really like. But if it's not rated that much I won't bother. Was more interested in the contents rather than the bag.

Love my FCUK bag, i really wanted this but wasn't willing to pay the full price, so happy its the OOTW. Will be also getting next weeks OOTW i love the s&g stuff!

Going a bit off topic now, but when Boots do their 75% sale after christmas is it still 342?? Also when does it normally start?

Oooh Sandra. Did you need a receipt or anything?
I've got a spare Sanctuary set...do you think it will work with that too?

Also, does anyone know if you have the ability to cancel an online order once placed.
I was wondering, because I was thinking of ordering online after midnight & then popping into my local store to see if they had any, & if they do, cancelling the online order.

Well, I took my receipt along, just in case, but wasn't asked for it. Anything's worth a try! Haven't ever tried to cancel an online order though - it's bad enough getting one to go through without generic errors or holding pages when the OOTW is on! HTH

The 342 ends the minute items go to 50% off. I'm sure someone here knows roughly when it goes to 75% off --- I've never caught a good 75% off sale though because last year due to various Boots screwiness they didn't do it in my store until later than normal and there was only wrap left! And the online sale was a joke last year because the site wouldn't work. I definitely recommend that if there is anything you *really* want, buy it now, especially if it's s&g as those fly off the shelves the first morning. Definitely don't count on them to be there for 75% off.

I reckon it's anyone's guess this year, whether the items are with or without the 3 for 2 bonus. All I know is there is definitely a sale on the 26th December, and it's worth remembering that the No 7 GWP is available until the 29th.

So, on certain items, it may be better value to buy No 7 gift sets in the half price sale (with, or without 3 for 2), especially as you'll get the GWP, and the accompanying vouchers.

For example:

3 x Lip & Nail, at half price = £15
One GWP, cos till sees original price of £30

250 points vouchers in the sets and the GWP = 1000 points

So, 3 sets and a GWP, in Boots logic = £5, or £4.50 if over 60!

If the sets are half price and 3 for 2, they would cost nothing or minus 50p, in Boots logic!!!!

If you wait until the 75% sale, you won't get a GWP, but your 3 sets would cost the same as half price and 3 for 2.

I think!!!! Getting too excited about X Factor tonight to think straight!! I've decided to buy what I really want in the half price sale, and if the items are available in the 75% sale, I can buy them, and return the half price ones, with my receipt, later.

And if they're not available, I've still got a bargain.
