    Just ordered a couple of the sex and the city palettes and the Gok Wan set, just what I needed, NOT.

    Hi all - especially the Wallsend Silverlink Bootsers - whoop whoop!

    Can anyone please tell me what is supposed to be in the Gold Ruby and Millie make up vanity case set? The one I've got had no card and seems a bit light on contents considering original price of £50!

    Are both of the smaller gold make up bags inside supposed to have stuff in? One has brush set but other had open zip and is empty. Will be gutted if I have to take my own treat back! Bet they've none left to replace it. Rest of my stash for prezzies.

    Thanks to anyone who can reply please!

    loads of the hat boxes and larger sets in my local boots had been opened when I went in at 5 this evening and looked to have bits missing, I know they arent worth the original asking but didnt seme worth the £10 either with what was in them! I reckon bits have been taken out, perhaps put in to another hat box!!
  • Well I'm gutted!!! The one day I cant get to a store until late evening, the sale is on!!! Had several doctors appointments this morning, followed by computer exam in the afternoon. Fella drove me to Middlebrook store at 5:30- hardly anything left... picked up wrapping paper, xma cards, the one remaining fair trade hamper thing... not a happy bunny...

    Now boots online is saying either out of stock, or when I try to add it says out of stock...

    There goes my stocking up for birthdays/xmas

    *slopes off to sulk in corner while still checking online* lol

    RightyO, after waiting last week and nothing happening bought all the pressies I needed in other places sales, declared was not going to buy anything from Boots as already got lots of S&G and No7 bits when 50%, caved today and bought some bits and have caved again and bought 2 Gok sets (1 for myself and 1 for a colleague who is lovely). I am now going to hang my head in shame as I cannot resist this sale and do not follow my convictions. I blame you lot! - but it has been fun, roll on next year!

    i know what you mean, but if you've a big family it can become very expensive, there are so many big day's peple nowadays feel they HAVE to celebrate-birthdays, mothers day, fathers day, easter, valentines, xmas.

    i;ve got an embrrassing question to ask, how long do these toiletries last unopend, i know the make up has 6 or 12m dates on but isn't this after thy've been opened? Would the tolietries last until xmas 2012 say??

    No i'm not joking! quite serious actually!

    Well, I got lucky. It was no t advertised at all outside. Went to my small local one and there was no-one else in buying, just me so I had the pick of the stuff, Gu chocs, No7 nails and eyes kets, mens set with headphones, 17 dazzle eyes and 17 make up sets, Toni & Guy hair kits. FCUK bag set. Cup with a little sweater and tea bags (!!!!!!?? mums birthday, LOL)

    Then hit the one on the trading estate, was not as busy as I thought it would be to be honest but got loads more stuff there JO aprons, totes gloves and socks, loads of R&M (tired to use my voucher they said no - a girls got to try), s FAB photo notebook and pen set (got loads fo these for pressies for teachers in summer or Xmas, you can put a photo in the pen too, quite good for £2.50.

    So I am sorted for this years birthdays and ladies Xmas pressies, not much any good for men.

    Oh and I got (myself, LOL) a birdsong alarm clock. Might give that a try tonight.

    Bravo to the Boots 75% off sale! I feel that my life is now complete!! I spent £75 in one store and £50 in the other, also picked up some FCUK sets when spend £4 so got handwash and hand cream for our bathroom and 2 free sets. I feel so pleased with myself, now just have to stash it somewhere. I'll give the MIL 'no smellies next year' bloody cheek - they were all good expensive ones at that!! So now she has an apron and some gloves. LOL!! Touche!!
