Hiya,

Very pleased with wat I got

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)

Gave up on website - nice healthy walk to real Boots. Only 4 of us on the doorstep at opening time, so a lovely shopping experience - felt like being let loose in a sweetie shop! Got a Royal Jelly set for my mum & pressies for ds who will be back from an exam in about 3-hours. Was v. restrained, spent £10 and am v. happy!

Hello to all you tired folk that have been up all night!

I left Wellingborough Boots this morning at 9am - lots of stuff - entire shelves of Ted Baker and FCUK mens sets, lots of booze and chocs, lots of sanctuary bags, Boots brand toys and more.

Very civilised, only four of us waiting at opening time. Good luck!

Just back from town - we have 2 small Boots and 1 big Boots around here. The 2 small ones were dead quiet, the one in town was quite busy but not heaving and everyone ebing quite pleasant to each other.

Too much to list but spent £87 and used points on shop 1 so that was free, but picked up something else on the way out and that was £1.25.

Spent £101 on shop 2 but the till operator messed up and did not add my double points or 300 points code back on afterwards so missed out on points there which was annoying as it would have been quite a bit extra.

Shop 3 got 3 vouchers for vitamins and bought 3 packs of those to get 600 points then used points to get £17.50 shop and then paid for £5.25 for the last couple of bits.

I am shattered now, going to sit down with a coffee and Star Bar. Nice!!

My boots had tons and refilling shelves as it was being taken off...spent smack on 100 pounds but saved £280...so in all a good day....but boots online is a complete joke,when you add to basket and thats assuming you can get on there then it goes out of stock as you add it to basket...never mind...a stressfull but happy day :-)
