    Tracey, calm down, I am afraid you are going to start hyperventilating!!! I know the excitement you must be going through, if this is your first sale, but if we knew for certain, it would be posted on the first page of this thread.

    Incidentally, you'll also find there a wealth of info about abbreviations, and glitches etc. One thing for sure, which you can bet your bottom dollar on, is ..................... the minute it's started it will be posted on here in large letters!!!!

    HTH

    Sandra you are so funny!!!! Boots should have you stood at the doors for crowd control before they open the door for the 75% sale!!! I can imagine you telling the crowd to 'Calm down' lol!!!!:rotfl::rotfl:

    Cant get the favourites thing to work, just get a generic error and now cant get into my basket again - arhh - now officially hate the website.

    Think i'm giving up anyway, lukily got the few bits I was prepared to pay half price for (after several orders failed) and am fed up of waiting for the non existant 75% sale. Had some great bargains elsewhere so have enough in my pressie stash for a while.

    I am wondering if the 75% will be tomorrow. It seems that someone one HUKD bought a bratz toothbrush christmas gift set that was marked at half price on the shelf and it went though at 75% off at the till....

    http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/315550/boots-instore-only-bratz-electric-t/

    it makes me wonder if the tills are changing...

    Saveum this has already been mentioned earlier that all the bratz stuff is reduced as it is being discontinued. x
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

    I have this going on too. I can't get into my basket, it's really frustrating. I've had to register my husband and apply for a boots card in his name ready for the 75% incase mine isn't working when it all kicks off.

    I tried that last night.

    This is my error message

    0_ERR_RETRIEVE_PRICEUserCMN3101E The system is unavailable due to "CMN1011E".SystemUnable to retrieve the price for catEntry 42057, quantity: 198.0, unit of measure: C62, and currency: GBP.

    God knows what 198 products are in there, I can only assume it's baby milk cartons which was the last thing I tried to order 6 of... not 198 :)

    I asked a few days ago but I haven't seen if anyone answered: Are the perfume set going to be further reduced?
    Last year there were a few perfume sets with the 75% off stock in my local but they were still only 50% off.
    With Valentine's Day and Mothers Day only a few weeks away I doubt if Mr B will be in any rush to reduce them further. The best time for perfume reductions, including the giftsets, seems to be in the summer. Once Mothers Day is out of the way and peeps are getting duty free fragrances on their summer hols then the sales slow down, plus the new giftsets will be coming out for Christmas 2009.
