    I can't believe I stayed up till 2:30 waiting for the site, then I went into my tiny local Boots and they had a dozen of them stacked up inside the door:D I'm not sure what I will use the bag for (the box bit inside might work as a bathroom caddy) but the products are definitely worth the money, there isn't anything I don't like.

    still in stock online too :D
    Glad I didnt get up now heeh

    I got caught up in it all last year ( i managed to get one) and vowed i wasnt going to stay up or get one this year......................

    ..... Just went online and couldn't believe they still had stock so put one in the basket and then used parenting code (had to use new e-mail address to make it work) so £20 :j

    Nice little gift for myself :T

    Were the S&G on 3 for 2 last year and that's why they were really hard to get hold of?

    Probably explains why there are still freely available now (well, in most places!) in store and online, unlike last year because they're not on 3 for 2!

  • has anyone recieved their order confirmation email yet? I recieved an order acknowledgement and not had anything further? just worried they will turn round and say they actually ran out on-line even though it still says in-stock?

    It took about half an hour to get my confirmation mails through , that was at 3:20 am
    I can't be bothered updating this anymore
  • ordered online with the parenting code, boots in durham had ran out (downstairs) at lunchtime!
  • I know! I even rang Church Street, Old Swan and Huyton and they were all sold out.

    Castle Street had sold out by 8.15 (opening at 8) and Church Street by 8.45 (opening at 8.30), I work in the city centre and others were turning up to work with their S&G having had to trekk round town to find a store that had them.

    I bought my first 2 (me and mum) from Church street when it opened and then went back to Clayton Sq are 10am to get another one for my sister - who didn't even know about it until I text to ask if she'd bought hers!! (and 2 for other girls in the office)

    Extra points for me :)

    No new toiletries challenge - use up the stash first!

    PLENTY left in Brighton! I was there at 0840 this morning in case they sold out, but they were stacking them high and had loads in stock!

    I kept the shampoo and puff for me, but the other 9 items have been split into 3 sets of gifts for friends' birthdays next year, which is both thrifty and generous. ;)

    You could try selling the empty bags on ebay ,one seller is asking £14.99:eek::eek::eek:

  • PC code didn't work for me either. Which is a bummer as I DO have 2 kids under 3 and regularly buy nappies and baby food from Boots :(

    Quite gutted, would love to have one today but after waking up and finding them in stock online I didn't want to risk walking into town to find they were sold out, then coming back to find online had sold out too! Still I have one to collect on the 22nd so can't complain too much :)

    There are a few parenting club codes that you could have used...

    They cancel your boots parenting club when the child turns two, maybe that is the problem?
