    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!

    If I had taken my three year old to a Boots sale I'd be expecting them to help by holding stuff, not to be carried! I got rid of my buggy when the youngest one was just past two as she flatly refused to get into it. I used a wrist strap for another year though until she got reliable about holding my hand.

    I do remember going to jumble sales with a one year old in a back carrier and a three year old on a wrist strap though. Must have been keen to get out the house these days that's all I can say......:D

    Went into my Boots today to see if much was left and it was like Old Mother Hubbards cupboard......bare!! Just picked up a few odds and ends for daughters friends and Secret santa. Glad i went and picked up what i did on Tuesday, 3 glitter babes bags with bitsin reduced from £10 to £1.50 and some Ted Baker from £5 to £2.50.
    Thanks for everyone on these posts who have made me laugh over the last few days. I will defo be watching out for this thread next year. Just out of interest for all you die hards, is it always on a Wednesday. If so i will be changing my day off next year and will be camping outside my Boots ready and waiting!!:rotfl:
  • Went into the Metrocentre store in, Gateshead today at 4.30pm. Wasn't expecting much after my mam went yesterday and said it was manic, (people pulling each others hair!)

    Managed to get a few bits as they were putting more stock out.

    Sanctuary set
    Fresh cocktail smelly set
    FCUK body spray
    Seed set from National Trust
    Cat mug
    Star trek mug

    There was lots of chocolate, royal jelly and car cufflinks.

    Hiya! I was thinking off popping in tomorrow morning... by the looks of the stock when you were there today do you think it would be worth it? btw you didn't notice if there were any of those accessorize brush sets (in a bronze bag)?

    Didn't see any accessorize brushes :(

    If its not too out of your way it may be worth a look. I was quite surprised with the amount of stock left and more was coming out.
