    I'm delighted to say that I don't need to go to Aberdeen or Glasgow as Birmingham were bursting at the seams with tshirts, camis etc. I got everything I needed. It was quite nice actually - as I walked in, the assistant said "I was hoping you would come in - look what's arrived today!"

    I got everything I needed. There are duck t-shirts there, the NW3 butterfly long vest, the £25 camis, £19 t-shirts etc. A lot are in smalls and mediums. I have one card left so if anyone is struggling and would like me to help and get something, feel free to ask me. I think I'm now an expert on the stocks at Birmingham so any questions, ask away!!!

    Overall a good experience in Hobbs Covent Garden Piazza and Longacre stores. I bought the arlette wrap top at £39 and a long sleeved pink top at £29 and the staff were fine about the gift cards.

    I didn't notice any camis (though I must admit, I was not really looking for them as I knew what I wanted). They did have lots of short sleeved t-shirts at £19 and £25, including some lovely bright green and bright red ones that I hadn't seen online.

    I did feel uncomfortable using the vouchers, just from being aware of the hoo-ha that had gone on previously, so I didn't spend too long browsing or trying on, even though the staff were very pleasant. Two cards in two separate stores was as much tension as I could manage, so I am glad I didn't go mad and buy loads of magazines! :rotfl:

    They also had some lovely special occasion frocks that I may go back and try on in future, when I feel less 'watched' in case I produce a Red card.....

    Hi Annie-C,
    Did you have to do the "you need to be on our mailing list" to-do? Does anybody know if they are still accepting 2 cards (in separate transactions).
    Thanks a bunch for any help

    Used my last voucher in Kingston on Sunday, quite a few different tops in stock and different ones to the ones available when promotion started. No problem at all using card, assistant was very pleasant.
