    Went into the west quay store for opening this morning and picked up 2 boxes. One for me, one for a gift. Just got everything out of mine and have noticed that I got an extra 'the Daily Smooth' and 'Greatest Scrub of all' - what a lovely bonus. Think everyone should check the contents of theirs!

    *rushes off to check her contents* ;)


    ETA Nope my S & G packer was on the ball, maybe yours was drunk, LOL. Still very happy with what I've got, Body Butter smells lovely, Hand food is very effective and my hands are really feeling it this winter and I can't wait to have a shower with the scrub etc. YUM!!

    Just rang the Trafford Centre - they have sold out, but they are getting a delivery of more tomorrow! So if you're in that area, they open at 9am!

    I was just on hold there for the Traffic Centre Boots, they're absolutely hammered tonight apparently.

  • I picked one up for myself this morning from Vic Centre in Nottingham, I got there about 8.15 and there were about 30 on display, no one else seemed interested and I was wondering if I'd imagined the hype on this thread! (in my head on the way I was playing out queues and women fighting! lol but I think that was due to waking up 3 times in the night and dreaming abou missing out that added to the anxiety!) It's such a gorgeous treat and I'm glad I made the effort to go early and get one. I didn't get a voucher in mine and there were no extras. Mum ordered hers online about 4.30am when she woke up for the toilet.

    Was in Derby this afternoon and popped into boots, they didn't have any at all and lots of people looking for them.

    Sorry to those to missed out, Mr Boots will have some more glitches and bargains to be had again soon ;) (most of which I miss because I'm too slow or because Boots in Nottingham is crap!)
    *wonders when they will make dressing gowns acceptable day wear?*
    No new toiletries challenge - use up the stash first!

  • Never used Soap and Glory before, but just had my bath and now I smell yum :D Used the facial scrub, the flake away, the moisturising mist and body butter...mmmmmm. Can see me spending a fortune in the future!

  • Just checked my order online (ordered at 3am ish this morning) and it's changed from "processing" to "despatched" in the last few minutes...phew!
  • wonder how boots can afford to do this at al, surely they are making next to no profit from it

    Was in Derby this afternoon and popped into boots, they didn't have any at all and lots of people looking for them.

    Partner was in Derby City store as they opened at 8.30am this morning and people were queuing (he was about 12th in the queue). They went running in like nutters but we had seen them piling them up in the window display the previous evening during late night shopping, so partner headed straight for them and got 2. We went to the Derby, Kingsway store this evening on the off chance and were told they had sold out and no more are being delivered as stores have had their allocation.

    At the end of the day, you win some and you lose some. Peeps getting stroppy about it because they miss out is totally pointless. Thems the break! I usually miss out on offers or things like this because I work, it was only because partner was off today and able to go to town that we could take advantage. Thanks to the OP for posting and the heads up :-)

    it'll be soap and glory that will have reduced their wholesale price i'd have thought, they probably see it as a good trade off in terms of publicity and potential new customers trying their range - especially when they've just launched their website
