Just looked on my past orders online and last year i ordered on 14th Jan and year before i ordered on 9th Jan

Are you sure it was the 9th the year before last? I seem to remember it was the 14th last year and the 15th the year before that. I'm expecting it to be either the 13th or 14th this year. But who knows :rolleyes: Lets hope we get some inside info here to help us :A

Edit - just checked back and you're right it was the 9th! Seems very early now. 9th is a Saturday so I doubt it will be then somehow. Last year and the year before both started on Wednesdays so my guess is that it will be 13th .

I managed to get two of the hatboxes. One for me to try and one as a birthday present for my sister. I was considering "accidently" leaving the £50 tag on it!

Hmm, reckon she'd have to be living on Mars to have missed the OOTW ad!!!! :rotfl: She will know it was £20. Why would you do that anyway?

I had the email that my order was sent Tuesday, hoping my order is in-store today! If I decide to brave the wind and get it that is, lol. I hate to wait until I get the email saying my package is at the store, because they don't always send that.

How quickly are people picking up their orders from stores? And are you waiting until you get the email that says it has arrived?

OMG they delivered my box whilst i was out and put a rubbish bag on top of it. (metal bin. boots box, recycling bag) i pulled on the front and saw it and knew straight away that there was my boots order but if DH had got home before me he would never have realised as tere was no card through the door! and it is rubbish day tomorrow so my S&G could have gone to the tip!!!!

:eek: How daft is that! I'm all for using a bit of common sense and not returning every parcel back to depot but how hard would it have been to pop a card through your door?! Glad you saved your S&G anyway.

Received my order this morning and I am very pleased with my purchases. Mostly ted baker gift sets and I received a £16 set that I hadnt ordered instead of a £10 one so that was a bonus. I'm waiting patiently for the 75% sale now. I need those toys lol. Got all the adults christmas presents sorted anyway x Happy new year to you all x

I have had a look at boots.com and there seems to be alot more out of stock than i remember last year. I assume they don't get more stock online and when its gone its gone. if that is the case I don't think I will stay up to order online as most of what I am after is out of stock. I will be instore when it opens though!

Also if I remember correctly (and I sort of stumbled on it) the year before last (2008) the online sale started before (seem to think it might have been a week) the instore one. So who knows what will happen in 2010!

i have no problem with them leaving it behind the bins or with a neighbour etc but just leave a card please

same happened before xmas, postie gave stuff to th eneighbour and did not give me a card through the door. neighbour was a bit slow in giving me the parcels and i nearly made paypal claims!
