Wanted to share some of my Facebook memories
that keep reminding me of the good out days,
when we all knew it was the 3rd Wednesday in January,
And…
We all stayed up Tuesday night/ Wednesday early hours,
chatting away on hundreds of pages, trying to keep up with convo
while refreshing boots page waiting for their “Error Message Page” to disappear……
.
Then we all had 5-10 mins before chatting again as it had crashed
Then…… getting ready to get front of the que in the freezing cold winter weather 🤷♀️🤦♀️
😵💫🛒😂We were all CRAZY 😂😂😂

I did that a couple of weeks back, and got a Mr.Grumpy Mug at the 50% off for my Son (A running joke) as you just don't know what is going to happen this year.Pollycat said:I looked in my local store yesterday and there wasn't anything that interested me apart from a very pretty Eden Project canvas bag, reduced from £8.50 to £4.25.
It was worth hanging on for the small difference between 50% and 70% so I bought it.0 -

The sight going down after midnight was the way I used to check if it was definitely on, but as you say things have been different. I remember one year someone went past a Boots store the night before on their way home from work and they were changing the signs over to the 70% and they were kind enough to share. I think you could be right about the crowds, after all things have been different with Covid.moneysaver890 said:
Sometimes not found out until the site went down at midnight. But don't think it's been online the last few years has it? Maybe they won't announce it as they don't want the big crowds.BabychamPrincess said:
I remember the days a staff member would let you know if you asked. It's extremely quiet if it is tomorrow, would have normally heard something by now, we will see.sampan26 said:As if we're only on 2 pages on this thread!! I'm hoping its tomorrow, but the Boots staff didn't know, as always!
Fingers crossed, as there's a good few bits of No7 left over!

Yes it could change day and catch us out, I seem to think they said the day was changed to Friday because it clashed with another instore promotion.moneysaver890 said:
