Ooh just thought I've got some timedelay to go back. Is it too cheeky to take that back for an exchange to buy sale items?

I'm hoping it opens at 8.30 as I am due in work at 9am and Monday morning I will be at THE SALE. I will have to make the "sorry I'm running a little late" phone call.

I'm planning to be late for an anatomy lecture at uni :eek:

Just pointing out (killjoy that I am) that we don't actually know that the 'sale' will happen on Monday. It's still all based on apparently well-founded rumour. And of course I'll be there too!

Hi bobsa1:

My daughter has a friend who works in cosmetics, and since she told me that they will all keep perfectly well in reasonably cool dark conditions I've bought loads of things to keep with no disasters.

If you can find Ruby & Millie bargains they'd be great for your nieces.

And.....apparently we should all keep our perfumes in their boxes, to keep the light out, again avoiding heat, to stop them going off.

Let's all meet back here on Monday evening. Password?
