    Dont get my started on putting up umbrellas - I once looked like a right fool walking round town in the pouring rain attempting to put it up, had a complete mental block and just couldn't figure it out - despite using the same umbrella for years :rotfl:


    Afraid that doesn't really help you though....Hope you get it sorted

    I thought that when you receive an email saying despatched, it is exactly that, despatched, on its way?

    Didn't mean to worry you - they didn't say it wasn't on it way, just delayed and I anyway just got a text to say it's at store so heading straight there after work to pick it up. :j

    In reply to all the people here trying to justify their excessive spending at the sales (not just Boots, lets be honest here....) I am guilty of the same. And I'm not an ebayer (can never understand who buys that stuff that Boots can't shift themselves...?)

    It's still getting your shopping 'fix' but it's guilt free because it's 'not for me guv honest' it's for other people. And as long as they like those presents, and you have saved money, fab.

    I've also had some great ideas from this thread, thank you. One ungrateful person who said 'why have you bought me that' :mad: has now had it withdrawn and I'm putting it up as a raffle prize for the local charity I support.

    Even if I'm on the shopping threads, it doesn't mean I'm buying! Sometimes it's good to just look and then hit the CLOSE button!

    A few weenicon bits but that was it really
    If my words are missing letters then please excuse me....my keyboard is a tad dodgy!!

    Got my despatch email yesterday and my order has arrived (due 25th). I only spent £14 on line due to oos. Think I ordered at 3 30 pm (ish). It's all put away for birthdays etc.

    I managed to get to a store and bought a few bits but I'm more pleased with online order.
  • Popped into Boots Cribbs Causeway (Bristol) this morning.

    Loads of Fearne hatboxes and Strictly cases and not much else...wrapping paper, Subbuteo stuff, some chocolate and makeup bags etc.

    Picked up a couple of things including Celia Birtwell purse but don't think those hatboxes are going to shift....not sure I would even want one at 90 per cent off, sorry Fearne....

    Been to Westfield Derby and Wyvern Derby....nothing much left apart from wrapping paper, some chocs, Subbuteo mugs (in their hundreds lol), some Religion, SATC, Campbells mugs, lots of sweets. Came out empty handed which is an all time first for me. Then I remembered I had a 250 points voucher for No 7 and the £5 off No 7 voucher, so went back and got an eyeline and use both vouchers on that at the self service till.
    Please God, help me stop spending!
