    There was hardly anything left in Doncaster (Frenchgate) at lunch time today, although when I went in they were only just changing the signs from 75% to 90%, so it wasnt like there will have been people buying loads before I got there because unless you were a memeber on here you wouldnt have known lol. There was only some weenicons mugs n pens, xmas cards, overpriced sweets even with 90% off, gu choc sets (the ones with the black stand), and some baseball caps

    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!
    hmmm i still have a few orders that i made from the 75% off online sale to collect at store... i wonder if it's worth asking for a refund & rebuying them? would they let me do that?
    :beer: Happy Bargain Hunting!! :beer:

    hi did you manage that???
    i tried to do that at m&st week and they are obviously wise to that sort of thing and have a sign up saying you can't rebuy items you are returning!

    Speke this morning had:
    LOTS of those Religion sets for £1.50 and £2.50
    LOTS of assorted empty cosmetic cases / purses etc for between 50p and 80p
    Photo frames, luggage tags, etc etc all around 50p
    Waybuloo and Buzz PJ cases £1.50
    Loads of Christmas cards at about 30p-50p, lots of tags at 10p and 20p
    Little ELC pram toys for 60p I think
    3rd and bird tambourine bubble bath can't remember how much
    Bottles of Guiness with a set of cufflinks £1
    Subbuteo wallets £1
    Subbuteo cufflinks can't remember how much
    Weenicons Elvis mugs 60p
    Weenicons mouse mats and mouse £1.50
    Fearne compact mirrors 80p?
    Lots of sweets for around 25p to 30p

    Other than that, nothing really left. On Sunday they had dozens and dozens of SCD cases left which have mysteriously disappeared.... no way have they all been sold, I think Boots are hiding them until they can sneakily put them back out at full price once we've all "forgotten" about them!!!

    yeah ours was like that too, they had a whole isle of them last week, the SA insited they had sold them all, yeah right!

    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 didn't bother to go in the end. I thought it would have just been a waste of trip and i bet by saturday nothing will be left :( as there wasn't much to start with and the SA's could have brought the rest on their break?

    Really disappointed with their stock levels this year though. Hardly anything to begin with and i missed the 75% sale too :( I'm surprised other stores have so much left!!!

    Has anybody been in the Leeds store? Considering going tomorrow but it's pointless if there's nothing decent.
