    Thanks for heads up OP. Got slipper boots £16 for £4. Bought for myself, 2 sisters and 2 nieces to make it to £20 and get them delivered to the store for free. Surprised they had any left. Hope they are okay but they'll do a turn anyway. Thanks again. :T
    I have the slippers and they are good quality with a hard sole hth :)
  • My local has some zhu pets stuff and a few other bits, but they have reduced stickers on them rather than the 75% off sign, so even if they do go to 90% off, its whether the staff change the stickers. Not that there is anything worth buying.

    Does anyone know whether Sanctuary stuff keep for long or go off quickly? I got greedy and ordered a few sets that should last me a year or so!

    You got greedy?! Welcome to the 75% off sale, it has that effect...you learn, over the years, to rein it in (a bit.)

    I'm still using Sanctuary stuff from YEARS ago, it's all good still. Shower gel makes a nice bubbly bath too.

    LOL at the insomniacs, ordering at 1am and 5am, as I snooze :D
    Less stuff, more life, love, laughter and cats!
    Even if I'm on the shopping threads, it doesn't mean I'm buying! Sometimes it's good to just look and then hit the CLOSE button!

    Trouble is I ordered 5 to get free delivery to store. I think i will return a couple of them - assuming the order is fulfilled anyway. They are so clever they keep bringing one or 2 items back in stock to tempt people to buy more and more. We think we are saving, but the fact is we are spending more and more!
    Love saving, but not sure I'm doing it right!

    Ah but that's what we ALL do!

    You THINK NOW that you will send them back, but you'll take them all home 'just to sort them out'. They will look OH SO PRETTY. And in your mind you will then start to think what you can actually do with 5 gift sets 'ooh birthday for her, Christmas for her' and when that runs out you will work out how much each item cost and 'ooh it's a bargain just for the items inside it anyway isn't it'?
    You may even get as far as putting them in a bag by the front door.

    But even as you walk into Boots, doubt creeps in. You know that the second the SA puts YOUR Sanctuary sets out on the shelves, TEN other people will be thrilled and fight to grab them.
    You leave the store, taking your sanctuary sets home and find a place in the already heaving cupboard to store them, vowing that next time, next year, you will be stronger. :rotfl::rotfl:
