    Hi Jediteacher

    Sad to say the lady with two trolley loads wasnt me! I only had one load there!!
    I was also thinking of Luton store which is huge! Always lots of toys. But already panicking about what DH will say with the mountains of bage I have here!
    Did you see the big red boxes 'Learning Through Play Rocking Snake?' (suitable from 18 months) upstairs? They were marked up at half price at £12.50 but when I checked at the till they were £6.25. So I picked one up for my niece's first birthday in MArch. They are great value! They had quite a few left and most people were walking past them as they werent obvioulsy in the 75% sale.

    I bought that for my DS 1st birthday in July - thought it was unbelievably good value.
    Here come the girls....100% Gorgeous!!!

    I went to Richmond and Kew this morning. Richmond was great, shelves fully stocked. Lots of gift sets left. Plus the SA only charged me £2 for the No 7 set of lip glosses as there was no barcode on it and he couldn't find out what the full price was. I know they were selling for £16 full price so I'm really pleased abou that!
    I wouldn't bother going to Kew, for the size of the store there was very little left.

    I went to Richmond & Kew this morning too :beer:
    Got quite a few things in Richmond, spent £62 but used vouchers i had.
    I thought the sales staff were great in Richmond, so helpful which is really nice to see. Then i went onto Kew & bought a few other bits plus a few elc toys. The bloke in kew told us the elc toys weren't reduced but the woman in kew said all the elc toys with the green present logo on them were. Lucky we didn't listen to the man cos we got 3 elc toys from kew.
    Richmonds staff were much nicer than Kews staff.
    In my madness for bargains we were nearly late picking our son up from nursery :o

    Why is it when your running late every traffic lights turns red just as you get to it. Roads get blocked by binmen, a woman driving at a snails pace cos she was talking on the phone whilst driving & 2 police horses riding side by side so we couldn't get passed.

    Other than that i'm well chuffed with my bargains today, my first ever time going to a boots 75% off sale :T
    “Hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers.”
    Some people only dream of angels, i held one in my arms.
    Praying this baby makes it.

    Its on - I've been in! :D

    Quite a lot of stuff still there esp Ted Baker ladies sets, and Bratz for littlies.

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    I went straight from the school run to the Canterbury store, and there were very few customers there, and just a couple of the assistants. All the assistants were really nice and cheerful today, although the weather was so awful, and they had to lock several of the outside doors for safety reasons.

    I came home with two huge bags, £165.72 worth of stuff (not all was in the sale), paid £44.61, got 800 points, and a skincare voucher. I didn't want to bother splitting the transactions as I had a mailing voucher for 300 points with £30 spend.:D

    Among the goodies, No 7 compacts, and shimmer sets - and no problem getting the highlighter with this, although the SA had to do it manually.

    Ted Baker men's and women's sets, Lynx sets - these have vouchers in for magazines and music downloads, and DS1 very pleased!

    Leather passport holder and travel documents holder, National Trust coffee mug and chocolates (for me!), and the wok cook set, as well as a couple of little bits like the

    I nipped over to the Wincheap store, which has less, but still quite a few sets, especially for men, and also had more perfumes in the clearance setcion - I tried a few, and may go back and treat myself. I just got a few more little bits, and also was signed up for the Health club, which pleased me, as I've failed to do so via the ACM.

    I had thought of going to Tunbridge Wells or Lakeside, but not in this weather - and it's supposed to be worse here this afternoon:eek: , before clearing about 3pm.

    Lovely to read about all the bargains!! My only disappointment was no Sanctuary, and no Chilli lovers cook set
