Very little in Kirkstall...even less than Birstall, BUT, the did have quite a few No.7 Box Sets (£60 ones) in there!
I haven't been to Crown Point for ages so would be interested to know!
Good Luck!

cheers....havent managed to get out today, after breaking the lock on the front door this morning :eek:

Providing I get my door fixed I might venture to CP tomorrow morning.....although I have some cushions reserved @ argos Birstall so might call in there again to see if anything has changed

Why do we think the 75% sale is on tomorrow? Any concrete evidence?

See my post on page 95 and then Monkeygirl's.

I'm no Miss Marple (and not generally a rumour-monger) but something fishy was going on in Sunderland this morning!

I can get down there between 9 and 10 in the morning. Will pinch my husband's iphone to post here if 75% has started at my local.

Looks like another sleepless night, as on Tuesday/Wednesday this week. At least there's no work to get up for tomorrow!

There are MASSES of sale items left upstairs in the big Boots in the Bridges Shopping Centre in Sunderland.

Sanctuary, FCUK, toys, the big Chilli Pepper bag and smaller gift sets, No. 7 Ultimate set, foodie stuff, Ted Baker, Mediterranean, alcohol gifts, smellies, smellies, smellies everywhere!

The sales assistants were very busy moving things around, but I counted at least a dozen double sided aisles of display shelving crammed floor to top with stuff.

The SAs were also talking about which items were 'half and half again' - I got the impression some things must have been reduced further already, as a group of three of them were scuttling off and price checking the items they were wanting themselves. Another SA was going around with a little handheld 'gun' scanning bar codes and entering numbers on the keypad. Anyone know if that means she was activating price changes?

I'm tempted to go down first thing tomorrow to see if they're starting 75% tomorrow. It would make sense in many ways to start on a Saturday - they'd be more likely to have higher footfall to clear the sale stock and be able to get back to business as usual from Monday - do you think?

From over hearing a few assistants talking the sale will not start until next week its all up in the air.

I have just been in the Southampton High Street branch, there was quite a bit of stock there- no S&G obviously!! Did notice some Gok bits, No7, Botanics, various photoframes and calendars, foody bits, a black tea set? Some kids toys, some accessirize bits, some Chilli pepper sets (Small ones). HTH someone!!

I am managed to pop into a couple of stores today to check stock levels and was pleasantly surprised. In Walsall there was large hexagonal sanctuary boxes, gold sanctuary bags, royal jelly bags, costmetic bags and hand wash sets, loads of Ted baker stuff (men and womens), loads of FCUK cosmetic purse sets, some Elle sets, loads of the Gok Gorgeous sets, No7 mens starter sets, loads of different types of the Fresh sets, Ted baker aftershave minis - There was more stuff but I can't remember! In Cannock, they mainly have choccies and foodie type things but do have a lot of the FCUK sets. Toys were very, very limited in both stores.

Has anyone been to the Fort in Birmingham recently?

Does anyone know of any stock of No. 7 Ultimate Collection in Somerset please. I ordered one online yesterday but have had a cancellation e-mail this afternoon as they have no stock. I have tried the main store in Taunton and the Bridgwater store and they did not have any but was wondering about other stores in the area.

Linda, I'm fairly sure there was some in the Bath store, that was last week though. Maybe give them a ring?

I was in the Preston Deepdale branch today and there appeared to be lots of sale stock on the sale shelves, could see lots of different things - but couldnt see the No 7 Ultimate Collection thing though:D
