Just phoned my local store and have been told that it was suppose to be wednesday but they have had a memo through this afternoon saying it has been canceled and as of yet they don't know when it is.She said to phone back later on in the week but definitely not going ahead this week

dont they always say something along those lines to throw us all off scent??it so doesnt work! :rotfl:

^!£$&

It really wouldnt suprise me if the 75% off was delayed if stuff is selling so well at 50% off theres no incentive to reduce stock further the website clearly indicates this theres nothing left whereas last year I got loads from .com

That may be the case online, but the stores around me seem to have more stock on the shelves this year than they did last - so it would make sense for Mr B to put them on to 75% off to sell them .

Will the online sale start the same day as instore, i.e. Wednesday?

There's still lots of stuff left in a few of my local stores...(and I have dragged my OH around a number of Boots!) but theres not much left online...I guess if you really really want it, you'll happily pay 50% off
I idealy wanted to wait til the 75% sale for the No7 Ultimate (£60) but as stocks dwindled, I decided to get it at £30. It's still worth it at that price, with the full size stuff that's in it... There was about 300 of these in stock online, and then very quickly within a couple of days, they went down to a handful...
I still want to shop in the 75% sale anyway, I've loved it the last couple of years, I get my OH to just grab stuff and then I see what I want...I obviously put stuff back I don't want, but he does come in handy...If nothing else, then to carry the big blue basket...but I guess I'm happy with what I've got in the 50% sale if it dosen't go ahead...
But let's hope it does :T

Just spoke to a friend who works at Boots and they were told on Saturday that the sale starts on Wed. Might have changed since then but I doubt it in all honesty. Also to anyone looking at Walsall stock levels she said the basement was nearly empty and there were only 3 aisles with sale stuff. HTH.

Can't wait for the 75% sale to start. Why don't they just tell us what day it is starting? My workmates mil works for Boots and she doesn't even know when it is, but as soon as she gets told she'll tell workmate who'll text me.
Was in my local 1 today and they have loads left, I mean at least 4 aisles full if not more. I was lurking around some stuff as 2 SA were talking, hoping they might mention the date, but no. I must have looked really suspicious. LOL

I just remembered - who was it asking about the NO7 big OOTW that was £120 full price, down to £60 as OOTW? I saw a few of these in one store today, at £60. I didn't see a little green parcel sticker on them though, so I don't know if this would be reduced further when everything else is down to 75% off.

Hi there

Can anyone tell me if they have seen the Elle Ultimate bag in any local stores? This is the only thing I would really like in the sale and I would get it while it is 50% off in case it sells out.

The Gyle had quite a few of the No7 sets at £60.

I appreciate any help.
