    last year i was lucky enough to be on night shifts on the night the 75% sale went live and got some great bargains. This year im not on night unfortunately but thought i would get up extra early to go on line, my question is though, there's little or next to nothing left on line and certainly none of the type of items i bought last year (the mark hill and umberto gianni hair sets are what i am after) so does mean that unless i already had these in my basket or wish list waiting then there wont be any available? Is it really just what is howing on the internet now that will be reduced by 75%?? Many thanks

    There seems to be much more in the sale but you must have it already in your wishlist otherwise it wont show. People on this thread have been mentioning things that I would love to buy but I didnt realise that they had to already be in my list.

    have put loads in my basket online already - when the 75% off things goes live will the prices automatically update or will I have to empty said basket and start again with new priced ones - did call into store this afternoon they said it would eb Wednesday although they were very hush hush about it

    Last year it automatically updated. However, when I bought the hatbox this year I had to take it out of my basket and put it back in to get the sale price. Hard to say what the site will do come the wee hours of Wednesday morning, lol.
  • Does anyone know what the stock is lke in nottingahm. I thought I could make the trek if it was worth while?

    TIA

    Depends what you are after, I've been nto both stores in the city center today to eye up what I'm going to get. The Vic center have lots of the no7 set which were originally £60, they also have gok wan sets and the smaller store in the broadmarsh have lots of the other no7 sets, the body one and the face one, nails and another but can't remember which.

    What were you after and I'll see if I can jog my memory :)
    *wonders when they will make dressing gowns acceptable day wear?*
    No new toiletries challenge - use up the stash first!

    Did you notice if the Vic centre had any of the hair minis bags, UG or TS? or the 17 lip glosses?

    Nope neither of the stores had the hair bags or 17 lip glosses, sorry :(

    Just remembered that the broadmarsh store had R&M gift sets several different ones and quite a few of them

  • I can't drive at the moment so i won't be going to the sale this year boo! There isn't a great deal i want but i did get some great toys last year so i was hoping to get some more this year to save as my ds2 was born just before xmas it makes it an expensive time of year and i wanted to put some bits away for him. My in-laws are going into notts on the wed so i will have to get them to pop in for me.

  • Hi all, I'm working a night shift on Tuesday & will be able to get to London Liverpool Street for their 0630 opening time. Does anyone have any idea what's likely to be in the sale at that branch? I'd like to get a couple of the £60 No7 kits if I can & maybe some Elle & Sanctuary sets. Many Thanks
