  • There are literally hundreds and hundreds in the reading oracle store. But watch out my first one was missing contents as the lids come off.

    Lunchtime today my local little Boots said they had sold out at 9.15 am. But Horwich had loads. I had some unwanted bits to take back so it didn't feel like 'real' money... Shame there isn't a pvc lid on it -- it would have worked as a linen basket for my new wetroom!

    The SA checked the contents for me as she said some had bits missing.

    oos online :( but am a cruel wife and send oh on a 1mile dirvert walk home to get me one (local has quite a few i rang them) If you are wondering why I say I am cruel we are in south wales and in my garden I have 11 1/2 inches of snow - well if he insists on a lunchtime xmas do in the snow i will ask him to do silly things lol
    pmsl i hope hes not had to much drink there heavy lol:D
  • There were quite a few left in the 2 boots near me.

    I resisted buying the S&G set this year. Still got loads from the hat boxes last year as well as lots of stuff from the special offer on Sanctuary a couple of months back. Just couldnt justify buying another load of stuff...hard though.

    well I'm glad I didin't stay up til 3am, although I'm sure the banter was good...
    Set the alarm to be outside boots for 8.30 this morning but woke up to be snowed in! Turned on the internet expecting to be sold out and was totally surprised to get them ordered. Even now online there's still over 1000 in stock. Like many others I missed out on last year's hatbox, so happy that Mr B has ordered more this year.
    Well done for everyone braving the cold and snow-filled streets and for those bleary-eyed coffee drinking bootsers who stayed up all night...Hope everyone enjoys their S&G stash xx

    How do you know there is over a 1000 in stock ? I was told today in Liverpool that 200 bags sold in 15 minutes this morning so be very early to get one .
  • Has anyone from Liverpool who ordered online received a confirmation email? My friend (from Liverpool) ordered 3 and still no email and also WindySeddon (from Liverpool) said that they hadn't received a confirmation email.
    Am I clutching at straws here?

    Yes, I've received all four confirmation emails and I live in Liverpool.
  • i cant believe they are sold out already on line, our local boots said this year they had hundreds in the back Mr B she said was ensuring that they never run out this year !

    I placed an order online this morning, but really wanted to get some with my points. I live in Liverpool, but have serious mobility problems. I am waiting for my OH to come home to take me, but I guess after reading iblamethparents posted, it's not worth it.

    Thanks for your posts btw, they are much apprciated. Thanks also to everyone for all the smiles that this (Merged) thread has brought me since it started.. :T :T It almost makes me wish the old Boots thread was back :p I do miss it.

    They might have had a second delivery today or may get more stock in tomorrow but I would definitely ring around before setting off. All the numbers are on Boots' website under 'store locator'.
  • Thanks iblametheparents looks like I've missed out then :cry:
