Thanks I saw that too.
Oh and amidst the chaos this morning....I am proud to say I was the nice lady reaching up to the top shelf for everyone...:A

What was it like down there this morning? Was it worth it?
I thought about asking my boss if I could move my half day from tomorrow afternoon to this morning but didnt.
Do people que up there for opening / was there any of the 'holy grail' stuff this morning?

I'm quite happy with my little stash treated myself to an Angel giftset for a job well done :rotfl:

A staff member was putting down an Iggle Piggle pull along boat on the shelf and I calculate at a rough estimate it took me 1.5 seconds to swipe it Thats my cousin's kid's birthday sorted for £3 he loves that show

I feel really p-d off that I paid £20 for a big thrill hatbox the other week and now it's £12.50. I actually bought 2. Wasn't expecting it to be in the 75% off sale, do you think they'd give me the difference? It arrives in store on Friday...

You don't want much do you? You have managed to get hold of not one but TWO of the most coveted items in the Boots Christmas collection this year at the bargain price of £20.... where there are still some people who would happily grab them at £20 and kiss even the roughest looking SA in the world, probably with tongues.... but you want to return them to Boots, even though you haven't yet collected them, and rebuy them at the £12.50 showing on the website. I'm almost 100% certain that there has not been any stock online at that price today....

Some people just don't know when they are well off!! I don't think you will you will find much sympathy around here for your cause.

Just added mine up. Spent 102.22 should have been 409.00 so well pleased.

Went to preston fishergate, got there about 10 to 9... queue was huge. (saw the tall guy with blonde hair though:)), Was absolute chaos in store. Everyone pushing.... one woman said to her friend,
'what are they?'
' I don't know.'
'How many are there?'
'6'
'Ok put them all in.' seems greedy and selfish to me.
People just had pile of stuff... presumably to ebay.
No No 7 indulgence and no s&g.

Bit disappointed but still got loads of stuff for my £26.
Sort of wish I'd gone to blackpool hearing about how good the stock was.

There is still loads of stuff available in Westfield London store if that is any help to anyone (although there is no No7 or S&G!)

Like to say Thank You to the salespeople for being so patient and trying to keep order in the Wood Green store. I was shocked at the amount of people filling many baskets and a family member standing guard. I was pushed/shoved and had a pushchair rammed up my legs. Very happy with my purchases and would have bought more if folk were a bit more considerate.....................hope you checked what was in the beauty bags because loads of stuff was being pinched.

is it worth going after 5.30 to any Boots? is there anything left?

Yes I would say so. Although alot depends on which store. But Yes I would go. Not been today but may go tomorrow if I happen to be passing a store.

It's been a total bust for me. Got maybe two hours of sleep last night (and not in a row), but the site never let me check out and now my items are long gone. Can't go out to store because woke up with no heat and no hot water and want to wait for repairman to come. Besides, weather is crap here. I knew those were the odds when fooling around with a boots sale, but it sure feels like death when you're so tired you can't think straight and you didn't get a single bargain. Being freezing doesn't help, lol.

Just in case it saves anyone a trip - I've just waddled my way down (no mean feat at 8 and a half months pregnant!) to the St Enoch centre store in Glasgow and they don't have any 75% off stock.

Ah well - guess I just wasn't meant to spend today.:rolleyes:
