  • Well no queue at my boots but people were grabbing them left right and centre.

    The sa serving me looked shocked and said 'i think were going to be busy'
    the ones they had out were nearly gone, wonder how many more they had out back??

    Oh I did see one person pay with NO hatbox!! Where has this girl been ha ha!!
    If my words are missing letters then please excuse me....my keyboard is a tad dodgy!!

    I got one :j:j took me about half an hour to keep refreshng the page to actually get to the checkout. It froze on me when I used paypal and paid, but I got the email confirmation so it went through.
  • I have probably bought loads on line, I quick confirm order tons of time, then it kept crashing, not been on since, as got in store.


    Same happened to me!!!! Probably have loads delivered next week!!! lol

    Ok... I got through to Paypal, clicked on "Pay Now" and then it all crashed. Do you think it will have gone through?!

    Try your emails, I can't believe your rotten luck, as soon as you said goodnight last night the site starting working. Do hope you get one.

    hurray - I got through and paid at last.

    But, what's this I read....
    Important information


    We aim to supply you with everything you have ordered but where this is not possible we will send you the available products and remove those that are unavailable. We will notify you of this and you will only be charged for what we despatch to you.


    Is Boots saying it might not honour the order?????
    Those of you buying in store might be making the best decision! :eek:

    I have ordered things before that didn't come because Boots later said they were out of stock. That was in the Christmas sales (and odd how they got more stock later but didn't send it to me, boo hiss!). I think/hope those of us ordering early today are in the clear though, as they allocate stock on hand based on who ordered first.

    Went to Boots in Reading High Street they had about 10 out and I bought 2. A real bargain!

    Was that the store up by smelly alley? Or the one in the oracle?

    I've been trying all last night (not getting past toothy and ginger) and this morning (got to checkout SEVERAL TIMES but kept getting thrown out with a generic error (:rolleyes:) after putting in card details......

    Luckily I've got a WONDERFUL boyfriend!! He's told me that I don't need to go into town, as he'd woken up at 3AM and ordered two! :T:A:T:A

    Think I owe him an extra big drink tonight!! :D:D:D

    Good luck to all of you still trying :)

    IF YOU'RE SKINT......
    Do I need it? Can I afford it? Can I find it cheaper anywhere else?

    IF YOU'RE NOT SKINT......
    Will I use it? Is it worth it? Can I find it cheaper anywhere else?

    Morning all, some familiar names from last night into the small hours! I gave up just after 1am, had a rubbish night sleep (too cold and wound up about getting this darned thing !) then went into my nearest big store. Was outside parked up, from 8:20, then we all started queuin outside the doors at 8:45. Bless the store manager - he asked us all to come in to stay warm -even tho they don't open until 9am, then kept piling the display high with them. Apparently Gemini had 500+ at the time of opening if that helps anyone, but a steady stream of buyers...Good luck all

  • after going around in circles but never getting anywere near to checkout, it's now back to the holding page! :(

    can't see there being any(many) at the little store on the Wyvern Centre in Derby, so doubt i'll be having one of these as a treat...

    time for coffee i think!


    I think they will have them in Derby Wyvern as they have loads of them in Ashbourne which is a tiny store!!:j Good Luck!
