    I couldn't believe last year some stuff in mystore were even 90% off. I'm holding out for the day.

    I didn't have to buy one single present this year, I was sooooo please. I even got a big wooden pizza plate and some taco gift sets and then - hey presto - was invited to a wedding and so there you go!

    My OH was a tad 'surprised' last Jan with all my bags and didn't really beleive I'd spent about £80 (I even got some spa box sets for £7.50 instead of £50.......) and yet this year he has asked if I'm going again as what a bargain it was :rotfl:

    Ours wasn't that great last year. The good gift sets were either nabbed by the staff (which is fine) or not put on sale. I went into Boots just before closing time the previous day. There were lots of S&G, Gok and large gift sets left on the shelf. I was second in the queue the next day (sad, I know) and when I got inside there was no sign of the large gift sets and there was only a fraction of the S&G/Gok stuff there had been the evening before.

    Ha ha this is the one thread where instead of us thinking 'yeah that's sad' we're all thinking 'wow you were 2nd'.
