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.

Ok I weakened after someone said they are not all full sizes. I needed to check didn't I? And I just had to test the lipgloss - OMG! MY LIPS WERE ON FIRE!! I didn't realise it was lip plumping gloss - I thought I was having an allergic reaction :eek:. (The tingle does fade after about 10 mins though). Now back under the tree.

I ordered this morning online, 6am - got confirmation order through but reading the small print, it still needs to be verified so still no guarantee. Panicked and decided I would go and buy the 3 I needed, and then I could cancel my online order. My local Boots, Walsall park Street had 230 in stock and had sold out by 11.30

I asked one of the shop assistants if they had any more and she said she didn't know about any more coming in but that the offer was available all week so she thought they would be getting some more in at some point (although am not really very positive about that). Then asked if she thought my chances of getting my order online were good - she seemed to think so, as did several other staff members who were all joining in at this point. They all reassured me it would be fine. But then came on here and read it was out of stock online. Just checked and no money from my account

Am now panicking and wondering if it is worth me going into Brum tonight or not....

I don't think they take the money from your account until they dispatch them. I paid with paypal and it says "pending" on the paypal website.

I've just checked back and I ordered something online and paid by paypal on 20th October, the payment wasn't actually taken until 25th October when they despatched my order to the store.

Site crashed twice at confirmation screen this morning and could'nt try anymore as i had to leave for work , but come home to a email coming through a hour or so later saying i had bought one. So be careful you do'nt go to daft when r the site checkout fails on you.

Just got back from the Boots on the Asda estate at Bromborough (not the small one in town centre), still had plenty left, bought 2 myself.

I ordered mine around the same time as yours but also getting worried. Rang my small local Boots and they said they don't get the OTTW in. We got snow here though and I don't fancy the idea of driving in snow with a baby in tow to the next town where there are 3 Boots stores so will have to just cross my fingers. Hopefully those of us who ordered relatively early this morning will be okay - if some stores were getting in 300, surely they must have had something in the thousands of the online stock.

Anyone seen any/lack of any in Sheffield?

I decided to venture out for a set for my girlfriend. In a hurry, didn't take a coat as Boots is next door (Holborn Circus, London). They had just sold out, but told me the branch at Chancery Lane had a few left. It was a cold 5 mins walk down there - but I can confirm that there were about 10 left at 12 pm today!

Thank You for great thread for a great deal.
