Has there been any word on if this is starting 'online' tomorrow?...or is it all 'top secret' and we need to harass the poor shop staff again?...

(apoliges if there has already been a thread about this!)

    It has started online on Christmas eve for several years, so if you're interested in it, it's wise to check often tomorrow. I don't think there's anything this year I'd want at even 50% off, still way too high. They've uped prices since last year on some of the repeat Xmas gifts as well. I'm sure it will get snapped up anyway, lol.
  • Thanks,
    I must admit I normally only do the boots 75%, but this year I have a little one and fear that I wont be able to get childcare for the mad morning that that goes live, so going to do most of the shopping at 50%.
    I also must admit I havent even looked at whats on offer this year (yet), lol
  • i got an email the other day saying it starts on christmas eve at 5pm or 4pm

    It will all be kept very hush hush, remember last year they tried very hard to throw us off the scent and said that due to sites like this discussing when the sales were to start that they would not be reducing anything past 50% off this year. In fact funnily enough they sell alot of their unwanted stock to Asos, I never knew this before but when I ordered some soap and glory from them a few weeks back it had a boots 3 for 2 sticker on it with the price Boots sold it for, confirmed by Asos. Shops are finding other ways to clear stock without having to lower prices too much.

    Having said that I have really struggled to find anything I would buy, it's pretty much the same as last years stock repackaged :(

  • Looking back through my emails, I've checked out at around 1.30pm on Christmas Eve for the last 2 years. I'll be keeping an eye on the website from around 12pm ;)

    Me too! I really enjoy the boots sale, and normally stock up on lots of pressies, but this year the products are so samey I'm struggling to find things I would buy at 50% off!

    I'm really looking at kids toys, as there are a few sets my children would like!

    Hope it starts after 1pm as MIL is over until then, and don't want her seeing what I buy!
  • went in store at meadowhall to say poor is a understament
  • sale has started online. i did my order at 6am. not a lot of things though. thought they might have more toys

  • That's the easiest boots sale I've done, checked out 3 x and no glitches!
