    I bought three of the soap and gory hat box things last year, three days after it went on OOTW. Always makes me laugh when I hear about people staying up after midnight to order one, lying to get out of work etc...there's just no need.
    I think it depends where you live - my local had sold out on the day it went on offer.

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker
    It would be a pressie for myself (for being a good little girl) and wouldnt minded waiting for it to be delivered etc.

    Would they have many available online and what time will it go live?

    Thanks in advance :beer:
    Early hours i read earlier one shop had 1500 so on-line should be lots more.

    Last year my local only had four in and those all went to the staff. I bought mine online but heard a conversation between two sales assistants in my local on the Saturday morning.

    There was none to be had in my large local on the morning of the reduction, so you must have been lucky.

    We really don't do these things for no reason :p

    I missed out last yr as my 3yr old got admitted to hospital.
    So i called my local small branch this morning to ask if they would be having them in tomorrow and the man told me they were already in the stock room and there would be about 20 of them, so it worth giving them a call you may get a helpful assistant like i did:T

    Boots code £5 off minimum spend £20
    U have to join the parenting club first for the code to work.
    Expires 29/12.

    Code: PCBS44

    I am in the parenting club and put the code ... tried it on other smellies then on a car seat in case it had to be baby stuff but cant get it to come off at checkout although it says it has been applied on both things. Any ideas?
  • I just phoned up my local store (sunderland) to reserve one (can't do it) and they have 700 in stock. I thought they opened at 9 but its 8.30 this week. She said to come in store asap as members of staff want them, other staff in the shopping centre have said they are coming in to get them plus vast members of the public, which means i will be one of the sad ones queueing.

    You should try ordering online to save you having to line up. Suppose its perks of the job being able to get it first before all the customers :(!!
