    Gosh, Swansea Quadrant was worse than I remember, especially the organised groups :shocked::shocked:

    Nice orderly queue of 100 plus, but one woman did roll under the shutter and it was a stampede up the escalators!

    Mostly got what I went for - but as I wasn't aiming for any S&G or the big Champneys bag etc, that was OK.

    I've never seen shelf fittings broken off the stand before - shelf ripped onto the floor and contents scooped into a sports direct bag. Classy :silenced:

    I thought that the chavs only went to Waitrose!!! maybe afterwards with their stashes!!!
  • Tight !!!! boots at 70% off vastly over price goods as it is. Let me know when 90% is live.

    very happy with my little lot no pushing or shoving at hemel got there about 8.10 and chatted with the 2 other people waiting it was getting a bit busy when I left at 9
  • No one pushed or bumped her around and she was delighted to get the wooden spoon craft set for £3.60 and the giant games cracker for next year. Will make the spoons today!

    .
    Just to warn you the stickers in the spoon set don't stick you need glue.


    The Liverpool city centre store was very busy, they had some big gift sets but they where all in peoples baskets when I got there 10 min after opening. I go a eye shadow pallet for me and got the lets paly art box for my little girls birthday.

    Just left Bluewater - crazy crowd, store opened at 9 by then the queue was long

    Managed to get a few things that I missed online

    I still missed the sanctuary big set though
    In and out under 40mins, used the self checkout

    Staff on ground were very nice offering sweets and biscuits while we waited in the queue
    Quite a fair bit left but the big champagne, soap and glory and sanctuary sets all gone - unless they restock them

    Do you think she had the Mission Impossible theme tune running in her head? :rotfl:

    Was at the Boots in Westfield Stratford this morning. They had plenty of stuff there for everyone though, a lot more people this year, was hard to get down the aisles. But I got everything I was after, mostly men's stuff.

    Would have liked a Starbucks mug but they had none of them.
    :A
  • I don't know about everyone else, but some of these items from £10 down to £3 are still making me think 'Is it really worth that much??' - haha

    Call me old-fashioned...

    Same here!

    I also tried to get a few bits online but it kept emptying the basket and asking me to log in so I've given up
  • Very chaotic in Bournemouth castle point! Was glad to get out of there, the shelves were swiped in seconds! Was very very busy, did get a few bits with my points I had saved up:D having a nice cuppa now:)

    Just back from Leicester and it was horrible!...pushing, shoving, grabing and the aisles were very small making things worse!:eek:

    I am truly amazed at the amount of things people were taking....there were ladies (though they don't warrant the term ladies) that were filling baskets and running back to give the contents to their husbands who stood waiting at the sides before going back again and again and again! They can't possibly have that many relatives to buy presents for-they all literally had well over a hundred items each :eek::eek::eek: They are obviously selling these things.

    I'm sorry to say that a lot of the people at Leicester showed no manners what so ever and today I feel upset for the few, like me, that will be tarred with the same brush.

    I'm sorry if i'm being a bit of a bar-humbug...but this spoils thing for everyone else!....not sure if I would do this again:(
