  • Please, if anyone can get a Gok Gorgeous set in the Herts/Beds area I would be so grateful. I also have a few of the £5 No7 voucher thingies which I would be happy to give along with payment.

    The one thing I did manage to get today which I am pleased with was the No7 Mens gift set (£40 down to £10). But apart from a garage for my sons and 2 boxes of chocolates, I have resisted.

    Back from Buchanan Galleries, Sauchiehall Street and
    The Fort, only queues were at the Fort, but it was nice and
    calm, got what I was looking for, so well pleased :D
    Hope everyone manages to get what they are
    looking for xx

    What a morning youve had. I headed for sauchiehall street and got there about 9.10am. It wasnt very busy so I was quite pleased as I had a 2year old in a pram. I did manage to get quite a few nice things but was way disappointed compared to last year.

    What time did you get to the store, I may have seen you :D
  • Anyone been to Hanley, stoke on trent?

    No, but my friend went and wasn't much cop apparently, Longton had quite a bit, well did have, they were bringing stuff out whilst I was there this afternoon.

    Anyone know what the mall @ cribbs is like tonight. As I am tempted to make the journey as they are open until 9pm:eek:

    Should not really. I would have loved to take the time off today. But I have had rather a lot of time off this year so far including working from home for two days.

    Next year might just make sure that I book the day off ;)

    Yours

    As a matter of interest did it appear that there were a lot of Gok sets left? I got some from hubby for Christmas and I LOVE it, I thought it would go like hot cakes.

    I was sad there were no Gok sets in sight in Dundee.

    Wonder if some items sell better in different parts of the country? There were millions of Lavendar sets in Dundee! :)


    What time were you in there? I got in about 9.10am and a SA started bringing out bigger sets about 10ish, I picked up a Gok weekend bag as she was putting them out. One girl had about 4 on her pram, and others had their poor hubbies standing by the doors with huge basketfuls of stuff.
    Sadly I'd never smelt the Gok stuff and when I got home I had a sniff - sorry I really don't like it, and this was to be a nice treat for me :(. Well I have a big pressie for my Mum's birthday soon!

    It's only a game

  • I went to Bluewater Boots this afternoon. There were some smaller boxes of Belgian chocolates, and they had been refilling the shelves so possibly will put more of the big ones out. There were also lots of the chocolate Christmas trees. In the toiletries line there were floral make up bags with toiletries in-body wash I think, quite a few lavender sets, wrapping paper and cards, pink stripy mugs, royal jelly bags and some bucks fizz. There were other odd sets and bits and pieces but no make up sets or any of the big sets.

    I came home with a bag of chocolate to find out I had forgotten I had a Tesco delivery coming....oops. That has cost me £4.50 to get it delivered tommorrow!
