If you're driving to meadowhall you could consider getting the tram from there into sheffield, get off at Cathedral and you'll see the Boots. it's a bit of a nightmare driving round sheffield city centre. all depends on whether you're willing to pay the tram fare!

Ok thanks, I mignt just do that, thanks for everyones help.

I've seen a few mentioned so perhaps we could put them all together in a list so people know whether they can safely pass on the gift later on in the year. I'm happy to edit this post, and then just copy it over to the lovely crazyposhgal (just so she doesn't have even more work to do) but I know its something I would find useful - if you know of a voucher in any of the gift sets, or if you have opened a giftset and it does not have a voucher them if you would like to PM me, I will try and update this post EDIT: Thanks to all contributors - Please feel free to PM me if the set DOESN'T have a voucher as this is useful to those of us who won't open the sets as they are for gifts

I decided to go straight after school today. Lets just say I'm glad I parked in the short stay car park as 30 mins was long enough!!!! Shelves were literally bare by the time I got there at 4pm. Apart from some crackers, red sleigh things and the wrapping paper, oh and loads if the Ted Baker things that appear to contain a green radio!

Wish I had bought it yesterday now ....oh well..it was my first time!

Does anyone know if they bring out any more stock tomorrow???
Or should it have been put out today?

I'm tempeted to go look again tomorrow but i have to take my child to pre-school and then my cat to the vets so wouldn't be able to go early then there is getting back in time to pick up my son again. I really only want the no.7 compact. WHY didn't i get it :mad:

Thanks for that , I dont know where the Sheffield high street store is - I'm even getting my dad to drive me to meadowhall tomorrow cos I'm not good driving places which I'm not sure about LOL. I mignt try phoning them first in the morning before I set off and ask if they have much left.

I know a couple of years ago I got loads of things from Meadowhall - I hope they have some toys left, I missed out on the online sale:( .

Thanks again

Best way is from the M1 (depending on where you're coming from of course) but might be tricky on the tram with lots bulky toys to carry! If you drive in from the southerly of the 2 M1 junctions for M Hall, you go in past Sainsbury's petrol station, turn left at the roundabout and first right - go up the ramp and Boots is immediately in front of you!

Good Luck & let us know if there's much left please?

Thanks.
I have not had this mailing. Nor anything for about 2 years actually! I phoned up CS November time when I joined MSE and was told there was no reason why I did not receive them. My details would be passed to marketing andwould receive all future offers - but obviously not!!! Just tried to call and they close at 7pm Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Will have to try again tomorrow.

I e-mailed to complain as I haven't had any in ages, the replied that they cannot include everyone in the 'mail-shot' and I should try the ACM to see what offers are about! LIBERTY!

Well done to everyone who managed to grab some bargains. I didn't do too badly myself

ShowmetheMoney, I was at the Luton branch this morning too:D I arrived at 8.45 and spotted a lady coming out carrying loads of bags. I could feel my blood pressure rising at the thought of missing out on the bargains:rotfl: thankfully, there was still loads of stuff left. Although I couldn't find any olay gift sets or funky fish bags (for DD). The staff must've had them:D

I was served by a lovely SA. I asked if I could split my shopping up to earn more skincare vouchers and she was more than happy to do this. It's great when you get a nice SA. It makes up for all times you've had a bad one:D

After taking all my goodies home, I decided I'd go back for a second spending spree this afternoon. I couldn't believe the shelves were almost empty:eek:

I bought a glitter babes nail bar for DD and that didn't go through @75%off
It was priced @12.00 I paid 5.00 and the packaging was damaged too, but it was the last one on shelf. SA said not everything is 75% off just looked online and it is full price

Has anyone been to Oxford street this afternoon? Is there much left? I am thinking of popping in there on my way home from work tomorrow...to spend more money...I hope the other half doesn't read this:o

I went to the one at tottenham court road at about 3pm today and it had nothing. headed down to the one at bond street station instead and there were quite alot of stuff left. Lotsa ted baker and fcuk sets, bath crystals at 75p, children toys but i didnt look at them, the 5 pounds soap and glory set, spa sets, royal jellly sets, no 7 lip balm and compact set etc. Hopefully there'll be some left when u get there tml.

anyone know if teesside had much left in at the end of the day?

I got up at stupid-o-clock this morning to get to Sheffield High St. I thought it opened at 8am but when I got there at 7.50am the doors were wide open and I could see some people browsing with baskets so in I went. I hadn't put anything in my basket when a stern-looking SA came up and asked where I was from (er... Sheffield?) then she told me that the shop didn't open till 8am! :eek: Back out into the rain for me.

A fair crowd had built up by 8am despite the weather. I wonder how many read about it on MSE - last year I turned up at 9am and there was hardly anyone there then.

There was plenty of stuff to go round though and I got pretty much all that I wanted. They hadn't miraculously produced any more Soap and Glory or Naked sets though - these disappeared a while before 75% day. Best bargains for me were the cordless mouse and a Victorinox swiss army card, both at £3.75.

I popped back in at lunchtime and most of the stuff had gone but it was still massively busy!

A couple of tips:
- the tills downstairs move much faster than the ones upstairs!
- by the tills upstairs there is a stand of Totes stuff - slipper socks, gloves and scarves. These appear not to be in the sale, but some have the gift logo on, and when I went to The Moor branch later on, the Totes stuff was in the sale - so worth giving these a try.

I wonder if they will restock, might just have to try again in the morning...
