Why are blinkies called blinkies?

Prior to Christmas, we had a £5 No 7 voucher, which was pink, so we called them "Pinkies". Then Boots issued two more vouchers, each was blue, but not such good deals as the Pinkie, so we called them "Blueys".

Then they issued this new £5 voucher, which was blue, so I christened them "Blinkies", as in blue/pinkies, and I am thrilled to say they have now entered common parlance.

In fact, I am half expecting them to be in the new Oxford Dictionaries!!

On my tombstone, it will say:

Sandra Scarlett, rest in peace,
Now your Bootsing days must cease

You're off to Heaven, but first we'll mention
BLINKIES were your own invention!!

Ok, am worried now! I have had email confirmation of my order but nothing is showing when I log in and look at my orders on.com. Also, if the items are on the confirmation does that mean they will be coming? I bloody hope so it took me so long to get it to go through!

Sorry to re-post, I'm getting desperate and I'm a wee bit cranky and tired from this mornings chinnanigans with the website.

Basically, I've still got the generic error message when I try to access my basket- which reads 24 items £242.xx Has the code 10078425 in it, so I've typed it into the search to find it is the S G grab bag everyone wants!! Only prob is, I can't get rid of the error message at all. I've deleted browsing history, cookies, temporary files etc with no luck.:eek:

Does anyone else still have the message- mine's been like it since 3.07am!!!!!!!!! Anyone know what to do to get rid of it? Last time I called CS, the lady had no idea what I was talking about!

Managed to get to a small store and get some bits, but only the wrap and calendar from my list, so still hunting for everything else I can't get!

Early night for me tonight....

Hi, I have the exact same generic error message and if you say it is that item then I guess mine must be the same as I put that in my basket also! How annoying! I have no idea how to get rid though! Sorry!

Someone suggested this earlier on in the thread. I tried it and it worked for me.

Log out of your account. Add an item to the basket, click checkout and then in the top right use the log on button, it will then bring your basket up and you can remove the items which are causing the problems.

Boo to the .com sale. Sorry to all of you who have had problems getting your stuff online. It's so gutting when you've been gearing up to something and it all goes pear-shaped.

I logged on this morning around 3 am when my baby was awake and had a try at placing an order but got the generic errors, etc. like so many of you have had. Got fed up very quickly so went back to bed . Wanted toys mainly from online as the selection instore for toys is pants, I've found.

Went to main store in Leeds this morning. Had planned my trip very carefully as was taking dd (baby) and ds (2 year old) and didn't want them getting fed up, so went on a mission to get my desired items and was probably only instore for about 20 mins but got most of what I wanted. Was really pleased to get No7 P&P set (didn't expect to, but really wanted it, so that was a real treat). Got other stuff too which was on my list. Paid with points (about £66 worth) and still have a few points on my card. Lovely SA was very helpful and even gave me 2 blinkies even though I had paid with points. Hooray to her!

Can any Leeds Bootsers tell me if it's worth going to city centre store tomorrow or have the Locusts swept through there too:D
TIA

mines is the same although i couldnt log into my account ... or checkout basket ...during night around 4am

so did order without logging in so dont think i can track it anyway ....have emailed them about it and will phone them in the morning ...didnt order much but had already told my daughters id got them new barbie helmets so will be dissapointed for them if they dont honour it as could have bought them in the 50% sale along with the S&G set i was after the day before

..but as i dont get points anymore thought id try save some pennies by getting another 25%

I had that error message...to fix it I closed down the site..or log out if it will let you....go back on as a guest...add an item to your basket then log in...i was able to make another on line order doing this...although now they all are going through at full price..if they come I will have to send them back or ask CS to refund me the difference.

I'm wondering if all the 'generic error' messages that have been generated were for those putting the Soap and Glory Grab bags in their baskets?

Anyone else got the message and put the S & G BG in? Also says 'quantity:
-7.0', so I'm guessing there's a stock controller in the warehouse wondering how it's happened and where the stock has gone????

Nothing is guarenteed to arrive. Usually they will email you or put it on your dispatched email if you are not getting something.
