Just got out of bournemouth store and I'm so mad. One family of chavs had taken nearly all the toys. They had filled a large rolling crate and had enough to fill at least one more they had hundreds of toys. I managed to get the elc cash register, a build your pen plane and an activity cube but that was it. Everything I wanted was being guarded by a big load of gippos.
Why are people so greedy????

There was however loads of smellies so bought a few bits and pieces

SO mad!!!!

WOO HOO finally got my order through! been trying since 5am!!

Arrived early to my first store so grabbed a starbucks and went back for about 7.58. 5 ladies and myself waiting to get in when the opened. Knew exactly where the stuff i wanted was - got the following

No7 Ultimate Collection (£60) for £15
No7 Facial Collection (£35) for £8.75
No7 Cosmetic Case (£20) for £5
FCUK Hatbox Collection (£10) for £2.50
Botanics Bating Tin (£10) for £2.50
FCUK mens duo x 2 (£8) for £2 each
Radox bath caddy (£8) for £2

Total £39.75 for £159 worth of stuff.

Then I went to my 2nd store which opened at 9am - about twenty people waiting at this one when I got there, thankfully they opened the door nearest me so myself and about 3 others in first. This one was more chaotic with screaming children with mum and dad both pushing trollies. My ankles hurt as about 3 people were walking down the aisle just pushing their trollies through people - I WOULD NOT BE MOVED FROM MY BARGAIN HUNTING THO!

Didn't buy as much here -

Another No7 Ultimate collection (will give for my sis' birthday) (£60) for £15
Sanctuary Tranquility Travel Kit (probably my best buy after No7 £50) for £12.50
Sanctuary Hand Indulgence Set (£15) for £3.75

Paid £31.25 for £125 worth of stuff - had picked up other bits and pieces but put them back when I rationalised why I was buying them.

Managed to get a fairtrade set and a few of the heart keyrings ordered from boots.com.

All in all I've had a successful sale (saved 213 not including my .com savings) but Mr B has made me work very hard for it
Hope everyone else is as fortunate as I was....

agreed - seems to be just clearance stuff. some toys, sun cream, passport holder, diaries, cards, creams, etc......'gift' stuff - if that helps anyone panicking when the site is busy, as it is erratic at the moment.

in store might be another story but i can't decide wether to go cos i can't go til wee boy goes to nursery at 1pm, then it's a 46 mile round trip to my nearest store so theres fuel too and it might be just as disappointing

Oh my god! Never again! Just got back from Lowestoft Boots, and it was MURDER!!! Got there at 8:15 to find a huge queue already, when the finally opened the doors, SAs had put all the No 7 Ultimate sets by the door and the first 20 people were busy blocking the doorway filling their binbags, YES BINBAGS that they had brought with them! In the end, with a large nudge from the lady behind me, I ended up charging the double buggy through them ,running over at least half a dozen seys of toes! No one could get in the store because of them! Going upstairs was just as bad!

After half an hour queueing for a till (gave up trying to shop!) It was worth it, 2No7 ultimate, 2 No7 nails, 1 ITNG musical mat and a dozen other gifts later I have arrived home in one piece, just!

Hello to the fellow MSEr who sussed me out trying to round up Paige (never let a 2 year old out the buggy when a sale as big as this is taking place!), sorry if I sounded rude, I was a bit stressed and harrassed, hope you got all you were after! And, you are a MAN! I am very impressed!
