Boots after-Christmas sales - 75% off now over?

heynonnynonny

Anyone still getting the holding page, just got up ready to have a look online, does it mean the site has crashed?

managed to get a little order through at 6am most of the stuff i had in my basket had disappeared, logged on again at 8am and found some things had returned to my favourites got as far as authorisation page then the website went down. After a lack of sleep really couldn't face going to Ipswich so went on the off chance to the tiny Boots pharmacy in the village and they had a little stand with loads of variety and only me looking.
Got - Bobbypin Ultimately Equisite Collection, Chilli Pepper Body Collection, Elle Macpherson Body Spritz set. FCUK body wash and body spray, Chilli Pepper lip treats, Ted Baker Divine and Dandy, Lee Stafford poker straight, Gillette Fusion the weekender x 2 for the grand total of £25.00. So happy after lack of sleep, off for a sleep now as got a 1600-midnight shift at work later!!!

My local Boots doesn't even seem aware that it is now 75% off in Clifton Down shopping centre, Bristol. Granted, it is a tiny store but the stuff that is left is still 50% off. Can't be bothered to make my way to Cribbs or the town centre as it is so much faff if there is nothing, especially as it is snowing.

I'm sure everything is centralised so they would scan as 75% off when you went to the till. I went into a small branch at opening time and picked up a lone No7 Ultimate set that was near the No7 stand (not with the other sale stuff), a SA said she didn't think it would be reduced by 75% and seemed surprised when she checked.

Morning all!
75% off sale - at last!!
I am very happy as I managed to get all three things on my list:-

Thomas the Tank Waterbottle Cover was £15.00 paid £3.75
x2 Leather Wallets was £10 paid £2.50
Travel Document Holder was £12 paid 3.00.

There is (or was at 08.04am this morning) LOADS in the Albion Street, Leeds Store.

Got quite a few other bits too

Chilli Pepper Silvery Bag was £35 paid £8.75
x2 FCUK Box (Female) was £10 paid £2.50
x2 Fusion Shave Sets that were £10 paid £2.50 BARGAIN!!
Then a few low cost "side pressies" for birthdays for this year.

Very happy with my stash!

They still had a LOT of Gok Wan sets but no No7 or S&G hat boxes!

I have to say - it was manic. There were AT LEAST 100 people barging around the tiny aisles! I arrived at 08.04am, to see people on their way OUT with bags full! I panicked a bit then BUT, as I say, I am happy with my stash.

Paid £36.50 - havent yet added up what it shoudl have been.

I bought quite a bit in the 50% off sale on Xmas Eve online (spent £90 there) so, for about £130 I have most of my pressies for birthdays and xmas for 2010 - result!

Hope the rest of you were as lucky and are as happy!
Steff;)

These were not in stock this morning. None of the s&g was.

The pink No 7 bag was in stock as was the Elle bag.

As awful as it sounds, I'm quite relieved that no Soap and Glory was available. That's all I would be interested in and it makes me feel a little bit better about being unable to get on the site

Morning Everyone,

I've been to York this morning Coney Street branch, about 20 people outside waiting. Some lovely ladies chatted to me, no stress at all inside and great staff. Anyway they have lots of goodies but not really any of the must haves - like the No7 box or anything S & G.

I got lots of miniature perfume sets - 4 in a pack - for £4 - perfect for my wedding favours, and some other stuff too.

If anyone is getting the 'Exlamation perfume original gift set' it has a price ticket on of £7.99 so £2 today but they were scanning at £1.31 each instead - just a little extra bonus!

Hoping that .com starts playing soon for all those stuck.
