Boots after-Christmas sales - 75% off now over?

98sidney

Boscombe store dorset..
Few xmas cards, wrapping paper star trek mugs and passport holders left. also photo frames.
Hot choc mugs sets and tree choc slabs..
Dont go to the tills that lead into the street as behind that till is baskets full of the stock the staff have grabbed, know that as a lady behind me asked if you could have one of the toys, and thats what we were told.. and its heartbreaking to see it all, but of course only fair to them..

Yeah, but I see from your sig your wee one is only 2 months old. That sling won't come in handy for much longer, trust me! :rotfl:

I have friends that carry upto 3 year olds with no problems and rarely use prams for their toddlers, fingers crossed I'll be the same next year and get the bits I want in Boots sale again!

Boots have just phoned to tell me they will refund me the £84 they overcharged me online.
Said they would honor the price as if they were doing me a favour for their terrible website.
Thing is it was a strange amount just random,not like they didn't give me 75% off but gave me 50% instead that wouldn't have been the right amount either,have no idea how it worked out.

Quite seperate from their mistake I ordered stuff not in the sale and will have to take it back to pricey for me.

Times have changed. There are so many more inconsiderate people around now, who are out for themselves and totally ignore polite requests, especially from pushchair users, who they seem to consider to be second-class citizens, who shouldn't be there.

I find it the other way round that I am second class citizen as I don't have a child. I can't get parked anywhere due to parent and child spaces get rammed loads, dirty looks from everyone with buggy when asking politely to get past espically when they are blocking whole ailse.

If anyone asks me politly to move regarless of who I will move unfortunately it doesn't seem to work both ways.:eek:

I think shops need to try for wider ailses but also people need to be more tolerant.

After such a terrible start of the day (trying to order online&getting nowhere) I had a very good morning! Went to Boots in Portsmouth and got everything I needed. There were not any Elle sets left except the small ones with 3 dif sprays. I have got Gok sets, R&M mirror sets, Ch Pepper & make -up, fcuk gift boxes. Got extra points as well. :jPeople were very nice and patient. I felt for mums with pushchairs as many of them were trying to fit big Gok sets into the baskets underneath the pushchairs with no space left!

I love this thread; thanks to everyone for their updates!:T

oh i am pleased u got it all,i wonder if isaw u there!! after sitting up all nite and finally getting online orders thru igot there as doors were opening,iwas soooo tired and they hadnt had time to turn on escalator so had 2 use my last bit of energy to crawl up em!!madness,but worth it.will we do it all again..............YES!!!!!!!!!!
