Hi

Does anyone know what the sale stock is like in Slough or Maidenhead ? I went to Reading (Oracle and Broad st) today and was so dissappointed. Nothing much left. I'd really like some No7, Ruby and Millie or Glitter Babes gift sets. Haven't been upto Calcot, is there much there ? If anyone can help much appreciated !

Hi all

Sorry to bump my own post, but it would be very helpful if someone could tell me what the stock levels are like in Maidenhead Boots. I even tried ringing that branch but noone picking up.

I used to work in Maidenhead and found that this had better stock levels than the closer stores to me (Reading). I now work in Reading and so have not been to the Maidenhead branch at all (even before Christmas). I am now really torn whether to go to just the Oracle branch in Reading (and be happy with the very limited stock there), or venture upto Maidenhead (in case stock levels are better and they have the No7 sets I'm after (unfortunately I won't have time to do both). So if anyone has been to Maidenhead (or even Slough) if they could let me know that would be
much, much appreciated.

On a slightly different note, I've completely lost my Boots mojo since the boots thread closed and miss it dearly. It used to be great for bargains and glitches, which I don't seem to find on my own ! I haven't been to boots in ages, and its only the 75% sale thats really tempting me back (I did it last year and the year before that and had great fun). Lets hope the sale IS tomorrow (I booked time off work for it last week and was lucky enough to get that changed to tomorrow when it got postponed) and we all manage to pick a few bargains !

ok, I m officially soooo excited now! Just got back from local boots and there is still 4 shelves wedged with No7, 2 racks of Chilli pepper bags, loads of front cover, mens gifts, in fact, there is loads of everything except toys but sure I can live with spoiling myself and not the kids just this once!

Thanks to Mr B giving me £28 worth of points for buying the vitamins, this sale is going to be twice as good!

Good luck tomorrow ladies, handbags at the ready! x

Well I went to Staines as working a night tonight and wanted to check if it was worth staying up and going first thing. Staines is very dissapointing compared to last few years. Only one and a half aisles and not much choice unless you want the big GOK set. Might as well get my beauty sleep. D x

Lowestoft, sitting in the middle of nowhere here, don't think there are any other Bootsers in this corner of the Earth, mainly why I am always so lucky with these offers, think my Boots was the only one in the country to have hatboxes in store after 3 days!
