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

My lips are tingling as well! Each second I am worrying that I am looking more and more like a fish! It smells so nice though! When I warm up all the others will be tried out properly!

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?

I'm not sure, it sounds like they are using this time thats down on the website to work out how many they actually have left, if any.

I didn't even try to get online, I went straight to my nearest store at Silverlink just outside Newcastle. Apparently there was a queue this morning at 08:30. I got there at 09:30 and there were plenty left although as fast as the staff were putting them out people were picking up 3 or 4 and more!

I got mine easily from our small store in Diss. In fact I kept getting stopped by people as I carried my 2 hatboxes round the store - they wanted to know what was in them. I wonder if it's only us lot that want them so much - the rest of the country is totally oblivious lol

I got two first thing this morning from the store in Scarborough, having dragged a whiny two year-old through the snow, and realised I'd got there just in time as on my way out I saw a couple grabbing as many as they could, of those and of the 17 gift things that were on the same display. Then I've spent half the day telling people about the bargain I've got and listening to their bemused replies, they must think I've gone mental...

I think this maybe the case. Like any online shop the online system would keep a tab on how many are been sold from stock, however if so many people are trying and buying at once it will have lost track, computers arn't perfect either!

Hopefully everyone who wants one will get one one way or another.

Gave up on the website decided to ring their customer services obviously not using the premium line used 0115 918 2000 and they told me how many how many each store near to me had in stock. Have just bought two from Tamworth Ventura and apparently The Fort in Birmingham had 497 last night. Cashier at Tamworth said that once they had gone that was it and so far as she knew each store had an allocation of around 300. Hope this helps. Good luck everyone
