went to boots yesterday and got £100 pounds worth of gifts(for next yr)for £48 pound(gifts overpriced before xmas) also went to wilko"s and got all my wrapping paper,cards,tags(for next yr)and boxes of choc"s,sweets and biscuits half price,selection boxes half price(i save them for the grandchildren to have during the yr) went to new look hoping to get a bargain,but the clothes on sale even my mum wouldnt wear and shes 70.,and got a few things from the next sale online.x :-)

I don't know about the sales - never go. What I am getting cheesed off with is all the e-mails I'm getting from the same companies that were pressurising me to buy stuff before Christmas, now trying to get rid of it all at half price or whatever.

Could someone send me a funny e-mail. My in-box is very boring!! :-( ;-) :-D

Sent Wend, look in your in box....lol

I've never seen complaints about the poor emergency services staff not being able to spend christmas with their families :-S

or those who work in the entertainment industry - somebody has to get the tv programmes to us, rubbish or no rubbish :-0
Then there's the trip to the panto on boxing day.

Loads of people work over bank holidays so what's so different about shop staff?

Don't get sick of Sales because i don't go to them, anytime of the year.

Your wish has been granted Wend :-D

An oldie but always worth another look.......and again :-0 :-D

Larfing my socks off guys - thanks! Just as well, as we're entertaining this evening and I now need to go and squeeze into my fat-hugging tights! :-S

if you're gonna do a boogie make sure they're black ;-) :-D :-D

Island Thanks for bringing this mattter to my attention I hadn't thought of all our unsung hero's who work over the Christmas period Also our troops that haven't even seen their famlies May god keep them all safe and return them to us safe and well

I hate shopping at the best of times, so usually steer clear of the sales! It used to be a 'big thing' and not start until January, but now it's just the same old same old. I do need some new bedding, so might venture into town next week!!

Some years ago, I worked for D****hams, as the Catering Secretary.
Come sales time, you should have seen the rails and rails of absolute carp that came into the store. It was just an excuse to empty their warehouse.

Years ago I had a Friend In the Clothing (Wholesale) Trade. its amazing how much rubbish is made specifically for the" So Called Sales"Its just a con to get more profit and get people to think they,re getting a bargain. :-S
