    I would love to know other people's reasons for not liking the Fearne set much. I have a few issues:

    1. The original price was extra inflated
    2. Not sure of the quality of the products
    3. People I know that like Fearne would hate the floral print, a lot of teens would think it looked like a "granny" present
    4. It is ubiquitous - which makes me feel it must have something wrong with it! (Has anyone not seen any Fearne left over in their store?)

    I agree. However, I do like the hatbox. Not bothered about the contents though, they will be going on eBay!!!

    I don't think Boots are going to be renewing their contract with Fearne Cotton as there were shelves of her stuff and no one was picking it up even at 75% off!

    I thought that too, silverburn, st enoch and buchanan galleries in glasgow full to the brim with fearne stuff, that and strictly boxes

    St enoch seems to be bringing the good stuff out one at a time and sticking it on the very end of the first row (as you come in from the st enoch square entrance). Nabbed a soap n glory foot set, gok set, ted baker set there too. St Enoch had the best selection but still pretty poor compared to other years.

    That's the reason. Overpriced, and unoriginal.
  • Has anyone even bothered trying the Trafford Centre? Just wondering about going down when hubby gets home from work...?

    I havent done too badly this boots sale, decided no-way was I bothering staying up (or getting up early) - those days have gone for me. Tried to get on line at about 8.30 no way was that happening, so went to our little boots got a few bits but nothing much. got back about 9.30 (its across the road) got on line started putting things in my basket kept crashing. in the end found if I had 2 pages opened could keep refreshing finally got the main bits I wanted then checkout again keep refreshing - found it easiest to use PayPal.

    Goodluck all.
