  • wondering if it is worth going in to work early tomorow on the off chance, i would be gutted if it's tomorow and i miss it.


    Not been doing much shopping in boots recently though. I have however been spending far too much in LUSH MMMMM.

    Nooooooooooooooooooooo - it can't be tomorrow!! It just is not allowed to be tomorrow. I am in work and taking the boys to nursery as hubbie on earlys which means I have 8 seconds to spare in the morning. If it is tomorrow I will absolutely, totally, completly miss it. Sniff!

    Keeping it crossed for Wednesday when I am off work!! Now Mr B - don't you dare mess me about or I will "Scweam and scweam and scweam" - got it?? :rotfl:

    (and snow, consider yourself warned too!! Don't you dare interfere with my bootsing!! :cool:)
  • Does anyone know whether the boots.com website will be updated to reflect the 75& sale at midnight? so we'll know whether it's tomorrow or not?

    Yep, there is LOADS of stock at the B'ham High Street Boots. I went in this afternoon to take advantage of the vitamin glitch and have a mooch around. It is unreal how much stock there is!

    I doubt it's tomorrow. I was in Boots quite late tonight (close to 6) and walked past a big one in a mall close to 7 and it was in darkness, all staff gone. At 6 the staff did not look like they were preparing for a big sale the next day. I worked in retail for 13 years and the night before a big sale there was always lots of activity going on and we had to stay late to prepare. If it's tomorrow I will be VERY surprised.

    Ah....but which day??????????
  • Have just called Sis who works at Boots for the millionith time. She confirmed it is tomorrow. That's what they have all been told anyway. So if anyone lives near Bath it would be wise to check it out. Not sure why everyone else has been told its Wednesday. I would have thought it would be a Nationwide thing surely.
  • I think it is Wednesday too went into local today not much activity going on

    No way! I was in MacSorley's tonight on Jamaica Street having a drink and there was a girl with a Boots bag which clearly had a hatbox in it! I wonder if she blagged the St Enoch one or if they're all over Glasgow!! :rotfl::rotfl:

    :rotfl:those sneaky hatboxes! i took a doubletake when i saw it, have never actually seen them instore, thinking about it they may have had more in stock during the day, it was randomly sitting all by itself on the top of an empty set of shelves.
    I got ham but i'm not a hamster.....
