    I hope I still get it. I was one of the first lot to put their orders in!!!! I checked the status on the .com site but still showing being processed! I always seem to get Boots emails ages after everyone else though so hope this is what it is. I really want the L'oreal one in particular!!!

    The 1 item that arrived today was the L'oreal one, the lip gloss looks good! The rest of this split order is in...Droitwich Spa, where ever that is. I did an order just for Olay gwp's only, it was the last order I placed, it has been dispatched and is sunning itself at the spa as I speak! lol. :rotfl:

    My first 2 orders, which had items from the xmas sale in, are still being processed, so no confirmation email for them. I hope I get these orders, as after playing about putting things in my basket, these have NO7 mens, Rimmel, Bourjois, No17, M Factor in them! Really, really hope they get here.

    So don't worry, it looks as if we will get the orders at some point...I have one item already, but it is missing its friends. HTH.:)

    I didn't have any 'paid for' items on my order and got the dispatch e-mail. I am expecting the order within the next few days as it is already on it's way to London from Droitwich Spa.

    This spa must be great then!! All our orders seem to be enjoying themselves there.:)

    They had loads of these in the big Bond St store on Saturday. I got one for my birthday in October but my niece 'borrowed' the bag to put her beauty school kit in. I think I might have to get myself another one because I don't rate my chances of getting the original one back!!!

    Enjoy AM.

    oooh thanks Melgirl, i will enjoy , It is big enough to keep my staighteners nice and neat all in one place along with my make up...just waiting for that elusive dispatch email for my GWP's and I will be a very happy bunny x

    Thanks for this tip - there is a digital camera I fancy and is in the sale online at £78.xx. I would go buy it instore, but only have £69.xx worth of points. I could buy some other things to make up the points, but don't have enough things I need to make another £10 worht of points - however, it sounds like it's worth me checking instore to see if it comes up with a further discount :D

    thanks beccye - will report back though won't get to a boots for a few days now

    If it's the Kodak Red camera you're looking at it's not gone down anymore. I went out to get one with points yesterday but both my local stores had barely any cameras left at all. I ordered in store and paid with points. Can't wait for my new toy :D Half hoping Baby doesn't arrive before it's delivered (Due in 9 days time :eek:)

    Hi Angie

    I didn't have any 'paid for' items on my order and got the dispatch e-mail. I am expecting the order within the next few days as it is already on it's way to London from Droitwich Spa.

    HTH and hope you get your stuff, even without the dispatch e-mail.

    I have just returned from my trip out and Boots was second on the list. (Bank had to come first! :o ) On the S&G front there were only the Glove Gift pack things. But they had loads of other stuff. I was actually surprised how much there was and they was even a SA stocking the shelves. I went to the one in Slough and up until a few years ago, the upstairs which is as big as downstairs was all open planned and had a huge discount section. It is now a small optitions upstairs with a wall. I suspect they have a HUGE storage area or a really really really nice big staff room up there. I am hoping for the first and hoping the 75% off sale will be good.

    Wasn't temped to get anything just yet. Went looking for the FCUK big black bag for a friend. However for anyone local, in the back on the right, near the kids clothes etc, they had a clearence section. I got quite a few lemsip items that were just over a pound each, and some other little bits that were the only one or two.. but they have a huge selection of colour boosting glaze, and other hair colour products, lip gloss of some sort, eyeshadows, dummies, toothbrushes, and loads and loads of stop smoking chewing gum. I can't remember what else as it was like a bad episode of supermarket sweep as my DS and his BFF both 10 were in the cinema. I had 1hr 45mins for all the shops! I think I did good.

    Evening all, Im quite new here, but have made an early resolution to get involved in this thread more as it seems so friendly and helpful. Plus big bargains! I'm lucky to live near some big Boots, Watford and London Colney so usually able to get to one quite easily.

    I think I have bagged some GWPs-really keeping my fingers crossed as money going to be tight next year. I have has a confirmation email so here's hoping!

    Now, a question, dont know if anyone will be able to help. We are visiting the Inlaws tomorrow, down near Worthing. Does any one know if it is worth trying to persuade DH to set off half an hour early for a quick visit to the Boots there. I could work on him tonight (;) ) if its worth it!

    TIA
