    I'll be gutted if it is as I'll be travelling miles away from a computer! So many sleepless nights all for nothing!

    I have been into Westfield Derby again this morning, went to get a bird alarm clock but they were all gone :(
    Still loads of Fearne, Strictly, Chocs, Jamie/Campbells mugs, wrap, some toys, some of the vintage style stuff, Celia Birtwell.No S&S or Sanctuary.
    Asked a SA (male) about the 75% off sale, he said it would be happening but would be a week or so away. The plot thickens.
    Please God, help me stop spending!

    Would just like to add that this is the same SA who refunded me the whole amount on a 50% off sale item that I returned with no receipt. So he gave me £15 instead of £7.50. This might make him unreliable as far as info goes, although maybe he is a bit dippy and didnt realise the sale was a secret.

  • If the sale had gone ahead on Wednesday,I would have bought loads.

    As it is I am now questioning weather I want/need half the stuff and have taken stuff out my basket.

    I wonder if anyone else is doing the same,I have found alternative gifts and am becoming less bothered about the sale.

    Oh dear, they don't do refunds without receipts, just exchanges. Looks like he may be out of a job soon :eek:

    Now have £10 less to spend of my budget for Boots sale. Went into town first thing and still 50% as everyone else has reported too. :(

    But all was not lost as was passing Claire's Accessories and took advantage of their 10 for £10 offer. My haul was worth £123 full price not that I would have ever paid that, I think Mr Boots will have to go a long way to beat this and have now ticked off 10 presents off my list. :T Couple years ago caught the Boots 75% sale and a really good Claire's offer on same day. Not to be this time. ;)

    I ve also now got much less to spend in the boots sale,went to check if it was on this morning & ended up in claires ended up spending £50 but got loads of great bargains
  • Just been to our Boots, which is quite big. Not much there on 50% - looked for stuff I'd buy if it was on 75% & couldn't find anything to get excited about. Went to Monsoon & Gap & spent my money there on 75% off clothes for me & ds - & to M&S for yummy Dine-Ins & £5 off £25 with their New Year voucher.

    Sorry, Mr Boots, you kept me hanging on so long I just lost interest!

    Yes I totally agree with you there, the more time that passes the less I feel the need to check the Boots website, the less bothered I am if I get anything in the sale anyway and other sales (that are already at 70% off) are just more tempting and far less stressful.
    You know what Boots? Keep your hat boxes! I don't want 'em! LOL!
