    I think if you had taken a 75% off item to the till it would have rung through the till at 90% off.

    Gift tags and Helly sweets and a few cards at castlepoint. Boo!
    Hi Lisaberry, there were about 10 or more of the strictly cases down through the centre of the store just to the right of the points machine when I was in there yesterday would have got a couple myself if the 90% off had been on :)

    Southampton Above bar- Very little there when I was in at lunchtime- I bought a Fearne hat box, (took pity on her, they've been there for weeks looking very unloved!!) they probably had about another 5 on the table, and probably about 10 of the strictly sets (Which to me were still a waste of money at £4!!)

    Also had some of the pencil tins, cards, paper, tags, there were photo albums but I think I got the last 2, they still had quite a few photo baubles (the coloured ones with small circle holes in) some herbal sweets- think that was it. I doubt much will be left now, and the SA was restocking but only with the cards/paper/tags by the looks of it.

    I had to collect my online Gok order- and as I'd managed to buy one elsewhere last week I asked for a refund on it, then, changed my mind and bought it back at £4.50! So I now have 2 new Gok sets to keep me going through the year for less than half the price of one!
  • anyone know if theres anything in the belfast boots thanks xx
    On the countdown mortgage will be paid off this year if I keep paying bit extra fingers crossed fully paid out by July :j

    Merry hill didnt have that much, but i my mom got me a roary racing car dvd set for 75p(from £15) and name a rose gift set (still about £20 on the website) for £2.50.

    Would love a hatbox or gok set tho, does anyone know if there is any in birmingham?

    Horsham didn't have much. It had sweeties, True Religion (loads of this!), a few makeup bags, loads of the weenotions stuff, ipod covers, some dora mega blocks, some waybuloo pj cases and cards/paper. All pretty useless really.

    I did however nap the only packet of really nice womens pjs in my size for £2 instead of £20 so I was pleased! Also got some not overly christmassy giftbags.

    Definitely on! Just wrapping paper, cards and things with bits missing - and overpriced sweets even at 90% off. Came away with 2 rolls of wrap (4m - ok for birthdays), a couple of Fearne compact mirrors and a keyring. Paid with points, so sort of free shopping.... :j
    I'm so glad my SA was right! :j
    I got a few mugs, cufflinks, sweets etc. The wrapping paper is really quite nice and a bargain as can be used for Birthdays! :beer:

    Ooooh Thanks for this. Did they advertise it as 90% off? I bet there will be nothing left now :( So were the hat boxes £4?
    Hope you got some - I can't get there till saturday - bet they will all gone:( (can anyone let me know if it's worth chancing it on sat?)
    I got one for me at 50% and DD said "Ooo I 'll have that", so I still don't have one!
    I plumped for Brent X this morning (big mistake) as they had loads of hatboxes left last week, didn't think they would go as there were all opened and missing bits - all I want is the box!
    Brent X has left - 20+ family crackers at 70p, 10 Gu sets £2, 10 Religion belt sets £2.50, 20+mini crackers 60p, 1 pack cards and 3 bobbypin pencil cases 40p and that's it - all the loads of photo baubles and albums that were left had mysteriously disapeared.
