  • Just been into Fareham store, there was a group of at least 10 adults clearing the shelves into massive bags and being very rude and inconsiderate of others. My little girl was holding a Dora puzzle in her hand and she had it snatched away from her with a man replying "if its not in a trolley it's still up for grabs" - W***ER!!! I managed to find another on a bottom shelf, put it in my basket and get to the till and it's not there. These people really ruin it for the rest of us who aren't going to be selling it all on ebay!!!!!

    I was at fareham to it was horrible :mad:

    I had one little basket but there was loads of people with at least 5 of the big blue bags blocking the isles

    It isn't really no. eg not in windows.

    But if you go to where gift sets are (front and back of store in my local Boots) there are big red 75% off signs

    I can't believe some people are so rude and greedy. I mean everyone wants a bargain but we should try and be fair.

    I woke up at 730 checked website 75%, and checked out the items I prefilled last night, half the stuff was oos and removed from my basket.

    Then got to Bond Street Boots at 915am and bought the rest of the stuff that was oos online :) It was quite civilised by this hour as apparently most of the pushing and shoving and big queues happened at 8am ;)

    There doesn't seem to be any No7 or small Champneys set in Bond Street big store anymore.

    And yes they had big 75% sale signs in the windows!

    Going to check another store at lunch and pick up the free YSL 7 day radiance trial :)

    Yes I noticed the big sets after I had paid. I dare say they will soon go!

    There was one lady who had I want to say a wheelchair but Im not sure, nobody sat in it she had about 8 big dove sets, 3/4 no 7 sets. Other women with big ikea bags full. It was civilised but busy and a struggle to get down the second aisle where all the sanctuary/fearne etc stuff was but I got there in the end. Overall really pleased with my purchases! :money:

    I saw a lady go in in a wheelchair so maybe it was her. Couldn't believe as we went in how many people were literally grabbing multiple sets. Saw several people guarding bags and bags of stuff. Oh well, done for another year. Was temped to go to the one on the shires and then thought better of it lol. X

    Hello All
    Great experience in Chippenham - only one in the store as it opened, piled my selection up on the till and nice lady put it on a carry tray and took it to the back door - could then load it straight into my boot.

    Lovely Champneys boxes TB and FCUK bags were in stock.
    A young Sales assistant had the last no7 box for which i congratulated her and said she should have the chance the same as the public!
