    Edinburgh Princes Street store still has loads of the glitter babes stuff and some of the princess castle sets for 3+ year olds and all the standard crackers, wrapping paper and cards! Hope this helps someone!

    Now its time for me to ask for some help!!! Does anyone know what the pink atm money bank/counter is called? I cant seem to find it online, not bothered about getting it in the sale as it seems totally sold out here, will pay full price for it online if I can find it!?!?!?! If anyone picked one of these up could they please let me know what the proper name is?! Many thanks Bootsers!

    ooo having a little bit of a panic now - I placed my order at 3.06am (which went through without any hitches) and it has been stuck on processing since about 10am yesterday morning.

    I started off hopeful when reading that peoples orders (placed after mine) were being despatched, but then read that some were being cancelled because payments werent going through, Im wishing I hadn't used hubbys credit card to pay - I'm stressing I might have put the wrong number (or details) in or something. :mad:

    I dont want to ring them because I know they must be totally rushed off their feet (plus I dont want to hear my order has been cancelled:( )

    I've not been able to get out to any boots stores and I know all the ones local to me have nothing left.

    Anyhoo - just wanted to get that all of my chest - still keeping my fingers crossed!!


    well done to all those who are getting their order tho (im not jealous - much!!!);)

    I got a few of the P&P No& 7 Vanity Cases as gifts Opened them all to take out the extra points coupon - all of mine are printed with 250 point with No7 purchase on one side and 375 point with No7 on the opposite side! Guess what side i will be using although did try to use it today with blinkie and a cearance product and they wouldnt give me it - was nt sure if i should have pushed for it or not - any one else had same problem or the same coupons?

    Thanks all

    But by next year, I will probably have like £500 worth of points. This is so addictive!

    I used to save until I could buy perfume, then last year saved to buy a digital camera, and this year saved for The Sale. My plans have been scuppered by finding out that my daughter is expecting twins, so all my points (over £200, I'm embarrassed to admit) are now earmarked for the grand twins fund.

    The only thing(s) I managed to get online were 2 baby playmats, and I have a tracking number, so fingers crossed, also all possible bodyparts crossed for all your pending/missing/incomprehensible orders. They really do have to re-design their site before the next sale. We live in hope!

    oh my boots had lots of adidas and soft and gentle roll on deodorants reduced to 25/27p - handy for making up to get a blinkie - they were just amongst the other roll ons.

  • Hi Jakeysmum:hello:

    I was in boucher road and ballymena yesterday, both were running really low on stock when i was leaving especially b'mena. I'm going to try belfast in the morning as im in anyway but im not holding out much hope as i think someone posted earlier that the stock wasn't great. I was last in sprucefield on sunday and they had little xmas stock left, although im sure they had a delivery since then so may be worth chancing?

    Hi Claire,

    I was in Sprucefield on Wednesday morning, early, and they had loads left. But not sure whats there now...there is also a branch in ventral Lisburn that I haven't checked yet. I am trying to fit it in round school runs :)

    I forgot to say that I think that the Watford branch have removed the bar codes from the olay GWP's ( to stop us getting them without purchase)as I picked one up yesterday to try to get with my big sales purchase but I got caught as there wasn't a barcode! I pretended I had just found it on a sales shelf!!!!!!
    It was worth trying but I'll have to be quicker next time before they get wise!

    Trafford Centre have done that too. It's the first time I've tried to get one and I bought some tissues, Olay wipes and a bath mat to diguise purchase, saying that I was buying for a friend who had said it came free w the wipes. SA went to look and found one w bar code (it's not underneath the box, though it looks as if it has been removed from there, but is on a label attached near the lid of the box) and it worked a treat. She was v impressed and showed me what was inside and I said I thought I'd get one for myself so went off to get wipes and another gwp and she just scanned the label I had. Am going to keep label in handbag! Btw -- sorry OT -- does the £5 moc (found inside gwp) work in Tesco?

    The 375 point side is for use in Northern Ireland only. If the SA scans that side by accident the till will beep and refuse the voucher.

    The 375 points on the other side usually only apply to Northern Ireland.
