    I was in the Cardiff Llanishen store at 8.05 this morning on my way to work and as I approached the 75% off section there were 3 women who had cleared the lot, they had 2 trolleys each! The only things left were the hat boxes and some small items. Bit greedy of them I thought.

    Buying to resell on eBay :mad: - hope they're declaring that income to HMRC :D

    Biting is excellent. It's like kissing, only there's a winner.

    i finished work at bit early and had a run up to the monks cross store in york

    loads and loads of every variety of ferne stuff and lots of subbuteo, quite a few Jaimie oliver mugs - these are the nicest mugs to drink out of and at less than 3 quid a good buy. loads of strictly cases and other strictly stuff

    i got an oriental dining set
    blossom gift set - this is the same as nexts just pink
    ruby and millie eye shadows
    tea stack
    choccie coins
    aromatherapy kit
    note book and badges
    scarlett and whatever its called eye shadow set
    scarlett and whatever lipgloss set
    mens toiletry gift set - can't remember which brand, was it dangerous? - too much bootsing lol
    almond gift set

    AND.... loads of toys were marked up clearance and big signs on the edge of the shelf saying not part of 75%, i picked up an ELC rattle thing marked up at 4 pounds, it was only when i got home and checked i realised it had gone through at a pound! if i'd realised i would have bought a few more things to see ig it worked on all of them.

    talking to the Sa as she checked me out and she said they were only told this morning, they were telling people it wasn't on, and it was a shock when they came in this morning to be told to put the signs up. a lot quieter than last year in our store

    Maybe we should start a new thread on who has been successful in ordering online today

    Actually maybe not there won't be many responses :rotfl:

    Keep trying everyone :T

    It's pointless to keep trying to buy on line unless you want Fearne, Gok or Strictly.

    The next time this thread will get busy is when we are complaining abount cancelled orders!
