Wish we had seen that boots were cancelling 75% day we went into the snow....so it is next week? wonder why they cancelled but looking at stock in our store not too exciting to be honest.
we did get the beer bucket in BHS for 4.00 a good buy to put away for our son.

Boots sale postponed due to bad weather. They haven't sold as much stock at 50% due to people staying at home in the warm. They are hoping people will carry on buying at 50% for another week so they don't make too much of a loss apparently.

At some stores today people were still thinking it was 75% off and walking around with trolleys full of stuff! I bet they got a shock when they went to the tills.


Yesterday was stopped in the street and asked if i'd do a survey. I needed to watch a tv show on DVD and then answer some questions. I thought it was funny there were nine or ten adverts in the middle. When they phoned today to ask about the DVD, all the questions were about the adverts!!! Half an hour later (annoying American man on phone couldn't understand english accent so I had to repeat everything twice).... I got a £5.00 gift voucher. Woopee. Thats £27.97 made today!!!

Well done Elysia,

I went in BHS store today and there was 4 members of staff moving the sale rails from christmas out the back. The buckets of beer were £5.50 and I didnt get one because I was looking at a cardi, and when I came back there was no sign of the sale being there.

Amazing really, it disappeared so fast:mad:

mary-op

well done :T

I've just ordered some scrapbooking paper from a web site...........least think I have what with passwords, c/card passwords etc. It was lovely paper ..........I've got a totally blank scrapbook I got from studio cards last year and didn't use it. This year, doing a family scrapbook for the family I thoought I'd get some paper........now waiting to see if I get the confirmation e mail............:eek:

Mary that's brilliant. I made my mum one for her 60th (must have cost over £150.00 with all the papers, embellishments, rub-ons etc. Made my daughter one in a Handbag shaped book for her 18th - it was a bit of a rush though and it didn't turn out as nice as i'd hoped.

I bought a new one from Whsmith 70% off the other day. I bought some thing for Elysia's birthday on Monday but it was just below the threashold for free delivery. I bought the new scrapbook to top it up so got free p+p so really got the scrapbook for £1.00 (if you see what I mean!)
