    Well i am so excited i woke up at 4am this morning after dreaming of shopping in boots (sleep casing haha!) and had to check the site to make sure it wasn't a day early lol! hmmm... wonder what i will be like tonight!my OH is working tomorrow so my poor mom is taking me along to my local around half hour before doors open. Mind you, the boxing day sales were advertised for 8.00 opening and they opened at 8.30 after the staff had done their shopping (could see them all walking around with baskets haha!)! so good luck to all, stay safe, no fighting (apart from if someone elbow gets in your face that is!) i go for the dive in method, and am a self trained fast walker so watch out scumbags lol!

    I've just been casing the joint at my local. Spotted a friendly looking SA.

    Me: (smiling) I know you're probably sworn to secrecy, but might you be opening early tomorrow?
    SA: I don't know. (turns to male SA nearby). Are we open early tomorrow?
    Other SA: (bemused smile) No.
    SA: No we aren't. Erm.....Why might we be? (awkward smile)
    Me: (losing my nerve) Well I don't know. I could tell you, but it's a secret.

    Ha ha ha. Scuttled out as quick as I could. I thought they were in on it and knew what I was talking about, hence the smiles, but quickly realised they didn't have a clue and were probably just smiling nervously til I left and they could call for the men in the white costs. Might have to wear a disguise tomorrow, I was mortified.

    Whats the earliest that a store can open?

    all the stores have their own opening hours published on the Boots website - I have half a dozen stores within 5 miles of me, one opens at 8am, 2 at 8.30am, and the rest open at 9am, even on sales days.

    Was at a loose end as DH working late so popped over to Glasgow Fort as its open to 10 to check what stock was like. (only looking for some foodie bits for me and some ted baker for dh) SA took down all 50% of signs. No new signs were up but prob need to wait till closes. If anyone wants to know what stock like let me know. Had a good like to try and remember in case peeps wanted to know,
    I am not sure wether will go in or not might wait till morning and see how I feel,

    OMG I'm soooooo excited, n the thing is I dun actually need anything, but I just wanna buy them x
  • I've booked the day off from work in anticipation lol Have £23 of points to spend, but went into my local Boots today but not much stuff out like previous years. Instead with all the hot weather we've been having lately they've got the shelves full of sun cream. One of the stores near me opens at 8.30 the other (about a 10 min drive) 9 so will get to the one in town for when that opens to see what they've got and if there isn't much might nip to the retail park store for when it opens at 9. Good luck all!
    28/04/11 - A bad day for shoppers everywhere (Tesco shoppers that is!) RIP DTD :A

    Went to case out my local tonight. I bought my fave perfume as they still had that set half price, then I got to checking the booty!
    Mine has at least 150 of the big Soap and Glory sets, tons of the TB purple sets, tons of the FC bags but hardly any lower priced sets. If I can get what I want tomorrow I'm after:
    1x S&G set £15
    1x Botanics pamper kit £2.50
    1x MH hairdryer (think 17.50)
    1x No.7 pedicure kit £5
    1x Starbucks mug £2
    1x Pineapple perfume set £3.24
    1x Sanctuary set £4

    I'm going to think about the hairdryer - has anyone got one? Are they any good? Probably still not a major bargain as I no doubt won't use the products??
    If my words are missing letters then please excuse me....my keyboard is a tad dodgy!!
