Very happy - I bought this dress:

which I'd seen in GH this month. Very pleased as it's my first size 18 (I'm on my way down from a 24/26), it fits and it looks lovely on. Used the £25 card and then asked if they had any cami-tops left as I had another card. No problem they said but had to go to the back to get my size.

Well done on reaching a massive milestone Anna!

Re the cami's, does that mean they are still being hidden out the back :mad:

There were some camis out front - in white, light blue and navy but not a great choice of sizes, I think. As I needed an XL, they had to go out the back. The SA said they were just back in.

I went to the Cardiff store with my sister and there were a few new things in but no new tops other than cardis and linen shirts. Nothing there that wasn't on the website.

They definitely weren't hiding things though and were fine with people using cards.

I think that because they are relatively small stores (only 2 girls in when we went) and with quite a limited range of stock they probably don't get chance to replenish all the sizes of clothes immediately that one is sold. I think when they were in the 'hiding' phase they completely removed the ranges from display. Each time I have been in there have been odd sizes missing but they have been able either to fetch them right away or explain that they are sold out (many of the longer sleeve tops are not being replenished as they sell out, to make way for new summer lines).

I've worked out the ebay buyer and so far, they have bought around 70 cards - which doesn't include the items that were private and I'm unable to see! Should be interesting to see what they start to sell on ebay!!!

I bought 3 new tops over the past two days, one I paid £10 for (with Red card), one was £7 - and the other nothing.

One card left .... ooooh, the temptation!

I was regretting not buying more and looked on ebay- I noted it was the same buyer all the time too. I couldn't justify £10 for the cards, I had hoped to pick one up for a fiver or so

You and me both! In fact I'm actually quite narked that someone could be so selfish with them.

I reckon it's definitely someone from Hobbs...

Buying and selling is against forum rules, but they sell well on ebay
