  • Was at Nottingham broadmarsh for 7:50am, before opening there was about 12 of us in total waiting to go in. Doors opened at 8, I was first one in (only because the door I was standing closest to opened first!) Grabbed a basket and then grabbed the following (in basket and under my free arm) and paid in 2 transactions:

    Transaction one
    No7 Ultimate collection £15
    No7 Eye & Brow Kit £5

    Paid using double points plus extra 150 points WYS £20 (looking back now should have used double points on 2nd transaction but didn't know you could only use it once per day)

    Got 310 points plus No7 £5 voucher, Plus 2 x 250 points when you buy any No7 product from No7 gift sets

    Transaction two
    No7 Indulgent bating collection £6.25
    No7 Facial Collection £8.75
    Trevor Sorbie Hair Kit £2.50
    Sanctuary Bidadan Set £4.50

    Paid using extra 150 points WYS £20

    Got 238 points plus No7 £5 voucher, Plus 2 x 250 points when you buy any No7 product from No7 gift sets

    I was done pretty quickly but only because I'd been for a reckie yesterday and knew exactly what I was getting, it all seemed quite friendly between shoppers, some people had bags and bags of stuff other people just a couple of things, but there was no pushing. The shelves weren't totally cleared but all the good stuff went quite quickly.

    I then walked up to the vic centre, just for a lookie, lots of people filling bags and bags, there were a few ultimate collection sets left on the shelves (about 10) at 8.30. Again very friendly seemed to be quite alot of Gok Wan sets left.

    I used 2 of my No7 £5 off vouchers and 2 of my 250 WYB any No7 product, bought nail varnish for £1.25 and facewipes for £1.50. Got 500 points.

    So total spend = £44.75, point rec = 1048

    Still got 2 x No7 250 points vouchers, 1 x £5 off No7 voucher from previous trip to boots and 1 more use of my double points coupon (apparently you can only use it once per day)
    *wonders when they will make dressing gowns acceptable day wear?*
    No new toiletries challenge - use up the stash first!

  • just come back from my tiny store.i got the mini perfume set,fcuk purse,ted baker set,r&m eye set,chilli pepper set and 3 front cover makeup sets.saved £105 so pretty happy with that.given up on the website.
  • Right, spent 2 hours trying to order online managed to complete at 7.00am, not really worth the hassle.

    Have been to Crawley Boots this morning, no queue about 3 people in store at 8.00am (sorry if it was any of you I bumped into!) Plenty of No7 ultimate boxs, loads of gok wan sets, chilli pepper bags but no soap and glory. Had a poor selection of toys but did have the in the night garden crawl mat at £5.00 which I purchased. No No7 small items though.

    Crawley doesn't seem to attract the bargain hunters so if you still are looking try here!
    Comping wishlist for 2017

    Main store in Leicester has LOADS of stuff. Am a bit gutted cos just got to work and noticed I've been charged twice for one thing, don't know how I'm going to get a refund on that without looking like a scammer! Typical - I ALWAYS check my receipt before leaving the shop normally but had to get to work!!

    Anyway, I got
    Port and cheeseboard set £4
    CAMRA tasting set £3.75
    Lavender gift set £2.50
    Stretch ballet slippers £2.50
    17 bronze collection £2
    Dance mug £1.25
    Botanicals mens set £1.25
    Retro cufflinks £1.25
    Notecard set £1.25
    Cupcake flannel/lip balm set 87p

    Came to £24.37 with my overcharge, guess I'll try ringing them now see if it's worth going back later to try and get a refund.

    Lol at this thread now - 249 pages!! When I went to bed last night it was up to page 133!!! :)

    Just back from Speke in Liverpool and they had LOADS of stuff - more than last week, and the SAs were loading up the shelves as people were taking stuff off!!! They seemed to have lots of boxes of more stuff going out.

    Anyway I came away with £424 worth of stuff for £106 so am well pleased - that's lots of birthdays and Christmas presents sorted!

    There seemed to be lots of everything in Speke EXCEPT toys (only bubble garage), no S&G, no No. 7, but other than that plenty of stock.
