  • My mum is forcing my dad (73 years old) to queue outside Boots in Weston super Mare tomorrow to get mine!! Bless 'im! I told him it may be like a queue for Take That tickets, and to sharpen his elbows.

    unlucky for my son but lucky for me he has a bad cold so won't be at school tomorow, so I can get in the queue befre the other school run mothers.

    I have just rang the Albion Street store in Leeds and they WILL have them in, the guys words on the phone were ' an obsene amount' sounds promising!

    Thanks, chloe09 - you are saving my bacon! I tried calling three times in the last hour and couldn't get through...

    And thank you so much for saying you would message me - you are an angel. That's what makes me like this forum so much :T

    Anyone else going to the Leeds Albion Street branch, I shall see you there tomorrow morning!

    I will definately see you there!

    I will be the one that is half asleep with no make up on! My only day off to have a lie in and I am up at 7 to make sure I get these. All in the name of beauty.... I actually don't think I will be able to sleep tonight hopefully there is something in here that will make me look less rough!

    I hope this isn't a case of all the hype and there is me and you waiting in the morning...

    It took me ages to get through but spoke to a nice polite gentleman about 15 mins ago.

    Im off to bed , so I can get to my local bright and early :j:j:j:j:j:j:j

    Have my £20, and my trainers ready set go.:D

    Im so sad I want the box, more than the stuff.

    I feel the same way about the box, lol! Haven't been able to see one in person, though, so I hope it lives up to my expectations.

    I thought the box might be a bit rubbish when I saw it online, but when I saw it in store I was amazed. The boxes are really nice, big and sturdy, and I think worth the £50, let alone £20!

    Having said that I will trample anyone I have to tomorrow to get my hands on a couple!!:j
