    Have had 2 offers from friends to get me bits as I said I am definitely not going but there really is not anything I want. :eek:

    I finished packing the last of my bargains away earlier today and I'm sorted for the year already and beyond if I am honest. I have got better bargains elsewhere this year, afraid Boots have lost my business, nowadays it's sale is too late in the day. I have had no scrums, mostly leisurely online shopping from M&S and SD that has been either ready for me to collect or delivered to my door with no hassle whatsoever.

    And I was Boosting as MSE now call it :rotfl: long before MSE even existed. Even if I wasn't going away tomorrow I would still be giving it a miss this year. I am a reformed character...:o
    Reformed character :rotfl::rotfl: but i agree been good with s/drug this year:T:T

    Not fair, I want some more popping candy freddos. TS, was it at the same store as your first lot...ie, have they re-stocked?

    I only got the one lot DM. :o

    Mr TS was only saying to me earlier he hoped he wasn't going to find any when he packs the car tomorrow. :o

    Seems to be a new one this year doesn't it. :eek:

    I think few of us have called it Bootsing before. :rotfl:


    Yes, that's what the old boots thread used to call it back in the day!


    I still reckon you'll be there at 9am on the day of the sale...despite what you say! ;)

    MKS, I never did thank you for the heads up on that tv program about the walks, I did watch it, very good it was too. :)

    I've done the part of the walk from Studland to Swanage with the girls when they were younger. Really interesting when it somewhere you know well so thank you. x

    *whispers* I've never been to this Boots sale of which you all speak :o I'm having my hair done tomorrow morning and the hairdressers is almost next door so I might take a little peek but tbh it all sounds a bit scary lol.

    Live dangerously. Hope all is good with you. x
