    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:

    My DH was the same when I went last year - he couldn't believe I had spent about £100 and got £300 worth of present goodies!!!:j

    This year DH keeps asking me when the next one will be - I told him he has to be patient but patience is something that comes hard to DH!:rotfl::rotfl:

    Yes, but come 75% many shelves will be cleaned up the night before so only a limited amount will be on display. Have never managed to get anything other then wrapping paper during the 75% off : (

    Really? I've been to Beckton Boots the day after the 75% sale started & got some decent bargains. That's not too far from you. Worth a trip out there anyway, as Galleons Reach retail park has a few shops to pick up some bargains in.

    Thanks to all the girls in the Cross Stitch Cafe! You're all fantastic! :A
  • I ordered some stuff from them that will be avail 3rd January to pick up at my local store.

    I've changed my mind about wanting it (buyer's remorse:o )
    When I go to pick it up, am I allowed to say I no longer want it and would like a refund, or not?

    i went to the beckton boots on thursday....the shelves were almost cleared of the half price items....they had the odd items and mostly the gok wan sets left....definately not going there for the 75% off sale.....unless they plan on stocking up again.

    No joke...90% of the half price area was empty :(

    You can either return it in store, or else just not pick it up and after 14 days they'll return it to their warehouse and refund you :-)

    I really do thinks it depends on your locality as to what's about

    Here in NI the stores are smaller

    I have perhaps 8 boots in a 20 mile radius - most are wee local stores with very little shelf space. The two stores that do carry the gifts are nearly wiped clear - unless you want the gok or the sanctuary bits. I've picked up a few bits in the 50% sale and that's a great help on next years gift shopping.

    But I do miss the "good ol days" of the 75% discount and near full shelves
