Boots OOTW 18/12/09

lea_t88

I have been into a store and the manager was telling the customer behind me that they have had an email from head office telling people NOT to order from online because the system has basically gone crazy. So many people are trying to buy it that it cant keep track of how many are being sold in relation to how many are left, and that some people that have bought it are going to be getting emails saying sorry but they are out of stock.

Hope that helps someone and you all manged to get one. My local was sold out within an hour of opening!

This really made me laugh! Was reading back through the thread (god you lot talk/type fast!) and reading everyone's experiences.
I've just been looking at mine where it sits under the tree - maybe it would be a good idea to see what exactly is inside, I mean I know what's in there, have seen the list but not held them yet.

Held them and smelled them! I am still all wrapped up from braving the trip to boots! My hand have a bit of everything on!

Yes, I think it is a Boots 17 set, down from £30 to £12.
I can't remember what it called & can't get on the site to give you a link, but hope you can find it.

Morning all, god you lot can chat lots:D. Well i was determined to get these today despite a few clangers thrown in. First my alarm didnt go off so i couldnt go in store before school with ds1 as planned, then when i went to open the car this morning the locks were frozen and couldn't budge it especially as i could see the de-icer and wd40 inside it:rotfl:. So ds and i ran to school nearly breaking our necks on the black ice. Then i dashed to the high st and walked in shelves were empty:eek:. One of my fav sas reassured me more were coming , but they had already restocked the shelves 3 times since 8.30, it was only 9.10:eek:. So i grabbed 2 and so did some of the other school mums:T. But couldnt help gathering another as they were literally giving them out from the trolleys and i thought well if i change my mind i can return it, but its unlikely i will be able to get any more. Everyone was mentioning Martin and Lorraine so i really hope you all get some.

Got mine in Lichfield this morning. On the way there, I walked past a guy carrying 3 of them, so ran the rest of the way, to find that there were loads. They were going quite quick, but more were being brought out. The assistant said that they started with a stock of 100, and that is for a small Boots.

I love it, but no way would I have paid £50 for it.

Yer £50 is a lot for what it is!

LOL - me too. My lips are tingling, my face is scrubbed, my body's been sprayed, my arms each have the different body butters on. The only thing I've put on one side is the Hand food as an extra prezzie for my mum - the rest is MINE

So does that mean I can stop trying to use my numb and frostbitten fingers on the refresh button? If they're OOS online I'm wasting my time aren't I?
