Boots sale

hiccup123

I did an order on line at 7am.....got 2 Ted baker sets and a few smaller bits for £37. Just got a dispatch email. Also got £45 of stuff in store. I picked up 2 betty & Walter cosmetic bags with bits in it inc a really good quality compact mirror for £3.50. Really nice set. Happened to go online last night at about midnight and some stuff was back in stock including lots of betty/walter stuff. I placed another order for about £40 including a no 7 make up set ....there was only one. Hopefully offer will be dispatched.

I think its worth checking online tonight. I've got what i need but good luck if your after something you really want.

I went in to Speke store for 9am yesterday and as expected it was an absolute bunfight like last year (previous years were NEVER like that, always quiet, civilised and friendly ) anyway there were gangs of women with trolleys piled high, pushing, shoving, etc etc so I just grabbed a few things. One each of No 7 hatbox, Champneys hatbox, Ted Baker vanity and FCUK bag, (there were literally hundreds of each of these on the shelves) plus a few smaller bits and pieces. Usually I go in the morning and then again later on in the day so I thought I'd go back last night (about 6pm) to see if the crowds had died down and if there was anything left - Nuh-uh!!! Almost every shelf was stripped bare, and all the tat remaining was piled on to one aisle. All that was left, was cards/wrap, gardening clocks, robot hot water bottle covers, and some little sets of coasters etc. It was like locusts had been and picked it clean!!
Not been able to get out today to check other stores (been waiting all day for Yodel ) but I would guess at them all being pretty empty.
Don't hold out much hope for the 90% sale!!

Apologies if this has been posted before but does anyone know when it goes to 90% off? Got some great bits for raffle on actions last year, seem to remember it was about a week after...

90% has always been exactly a fortnight after 75% in previous years - so going by that, this year's would be 30th Jan. However, I doubt there will be anything left by then!!!!

Popped into the Manchester store today. It was still really manic around the sales areas, but I managed to pick up four things I'd wanted off the internet and missed out on [they'd jumped out of my basket as I looked through the sales items]. Only spent £8.50 on this trip and am thus pretty pleased.

They had lots of the Royal Jelly sets and lots of the GBBO jug sets. I was tempted by the latter, as I love the GBBO as do a couple of my friends, but I left it. I couldn't think of when I would use it lol.

I think the point people are making is you don't say ''That WHITE woman pushed me out of the way'' or ''That English woman cleared the shelves'' so it was an unessecary reference to the peoples ethnicity!

I even wouldn't say ''That FAT woman pushed me out of the way'' as that is offensive too , why not just say ''someone'' with no reference to size or nationality etc , it is less offensive as in non offensive & no-one would have commented regarding the post as no-one would have been offended by it at all , the culprits who work in teams etc know who they are even if they read this thread but there is no need to make references to their size or ethnicity at all

Got you and agree. I wouldnt either but I can see why the OP might of put that without thinking it was of any insult to anyone and think that getting MSE to remove the post was abit excessive. Anyhow we are just highlighting the post more so i'm going back to sitting on the fence as I dont know the OP who posted it but was giving them the benifit of doubt.

Back to the boots sale.....

Very little left in Boucher road boots, empty shelves I'm afraid. Jug and bowl sets, marmite cups, a few nandos sets and some tin watering cans. Plenty of cards and paper though. Very nice lady on the till said a man yesterday was clearing the place and openly saying he was going to car boot it.

Might take a walk down to my local Car boot sale on Sunday then lo. Or maybe not if it's still snowing lol. Shall take a walk down for a few Sundays just in case lol

Hi,
There is a voucher inside this dated March 2013, just in case anyone plans to use it for a present at a later date. The zip on the bag is not sealed with a tag, so I was able to remove the voucher easily from the bottom of the bag. Hope this helps.:)
