  • Nipped in Trafford Centre boots on way to work tonight.

    Only few shelves left now in the front right of the shop (ie right next to the exit/entrance near halifax). There were the old lady lavendar sets, little old lady white and pink bags, chocolate tree slabs, the tubes of biscuits (I think?), the strippy mugs. Nothing too interesting!
  • hi - just to say that in the new Boots store in Bath Southgate today there were lots of purple Fairtrade travel bags, gold Chilli Pepper bags, the blue and white Chillli Pepper body trio thingy, some Celia Birtwell purses/key fobs, chocolate discs/trees/champagne truffles, lots of Star Trek stuff, some High School Musical mugs, loads of goodworks red bags with three little travel minis in them....and here my brain runs out :A

    just been to crystal peaks store sheffield to pick up my boots.com order.

    Apparently my order went through twice, so got 2 of everything i ordered.

    Most of it i'll use for presents, but theres a gorgeous spare fairtrade hamper, which i cant use, should anyone on here be after one...

    If not ill return it. :)

    and as for sale stock, there was 3 shelves.
    Cat photo frames, lavender sets, gift wrap, star trek goodies, choc trees and 2 tubes of biscuits.

    Never got chance to look at the sale not that I really needed much

    Now after a hatbox never tried the soap and glory range did give lots of hints to people they must not listen LOL. They are going for too much on ebay missed the one that went for £25.
    I would like to be a glow-worm.
    A glow-worm's never glum.
    Its hard to be downhearted when the sun shines out your bum.
  • on day of sale i got my order in and got 4 order conformation e-mails but it did not show up on my order history so when i got home from the boots store i phoned .com they said my order had gone though, next day (thur) i still had nothing in my order history so i phoned again they said its fine it has gone though, but on the friday night i went on the .com site and in my order history it said order cancelled, i was gutted. phoned .com on sat morning and was told there was a problem at the wearhouse and my order did not go though so i asked if i placed a re-order and just had what they was in stock of my first order could i have it at 75% off as a sigh of good will they said yes but i had to pay full price first and get theother back after i take delivery of it so i placed the order and this morning got an e-mail from .com saying order cancelled aaarrrrrrr so called AGAIN and was told it had benn cancelled as i had ordered to many of somethings and they did not sell to people who buy in bluk, but they do not tell you that anywere on there site ( i have 4 teenage daughters and 2 sisters and myself to get presents for as well as presents for my childrens friends birthdays) they told me to make smaller orders of things and wait for them to be delivered and then order some more but now it wont take any of my credit cards and i had to phone them AGAIN and they said they would look into it, but i phoned my credit card company and was told boots have still got my money from my second order which aws at full price and now i cant use it as it has used up all my credit, sorry to go on a lot but this .com sale is such a pain i wish they would just send it all out to the stores to sell on the day :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    If that was the one that went weds evening last week sorry bout that, that was me. I'd been after one for my sis for ages and just had to get one for her after weds mornings web sales fiasco! There are a couple of comps to enter on soap and glory's website if you fancy winning some goodies. My sis is so happy with her hatbox tho, it was like another little Xmas for her! I couldn't believe I managed to get it and was able to use my eBay plus points too to knock the cost down a bit. I was convinced that boots spies were waiting for me to leave the house so they could put the hatbox back in stock!
    July- coconut body shop body butter, pom bear football, mini johnsons lotion, Sally Hansen nail treatments

    This is more or less same story as mine but mine was 1 order which wasnt very big, yet the bigger order i put through was delivered the next day so i think they just make any excuse. I have reordered the cancelled 1 again but dont hope out much hope of gettin it :eek: i have a reference no to use to get it at sale prices
    So i will live in hope
