What I find disgraceful is that Boots are still showing 301 things available in the sale. When you look more closely, there are only 33 sale items that aren't OOS, and a similar number that are in stock - but are now full price!

But you know what? Nothing will change! They've cleared everything they wanted to, and next year there will be double the people both instore and online.

Boots' motto is "it ain't broke for us, so don't fix it". It's natural that people will feel so euphoric that they'll post about their purchases, and their hassle-free, spur-of-the-moment shopping experience, both online and instore, and it's equally natural that people who planned this for weeks, perhaps sat up all night, or made complicated baby-sitting/work arrangements, and then didn't get a thing, will not share in the euphoria.

I missed out on toys for the DGC, but I got 3 annuals for £1 each on the Sainsbury deal. I didn't find a deserted branch that had a plentiful supply of No 7 Ultimate Collection boxes, but I did get a lovely dressing gown from M & S in their sale.

Life's swings and roundabouts, just like the Boots sale. So, thanks for the banter, have a nice year, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year (2012) and see all you Sale Bootsers next January.

Earlier on, there were only about 90 things in the sale. I think I was the only person still hanging around!

I spent less than £20 in the sale all day, all presents which I would buy anyway. In a weird way I sort of enjoyed the challenge!

It has been nice talking to you and listening to your advice Sandra. xx

I was happily shopping in Morrisons this morning and as I was cashing up at 9.55am I suddenly remebered the sale was starting today!!!. Quickly checked out and got ot Trafford Centre for 10.20 and it was manic. all the Gok sets had gone but they brought out loads of the Strictly sets as I arrived. Lots of other stuff constantly being brought out. I ended up spending £300!!! That's everyones presents for the next couple of years!

.......I'm working the nightshift and it's been really quiet, so have had another look at the Boots Sale. I checked out an order yesterday evening for only £22 as there wasn't much left in stock. However, in the past half an hour i've placed another order for £80 with items I wanted earlier which weren't in stock or even pictured on the site.

Got a couple of Hackett Gift Sets, some of the Sex in the City Pallettes, FCUK Sets, Soap and Glory Set (which has now gone out of stock again) and a few other bits and pieces. The majority of these purchases are odds and ends for us but some will be put back for presents throughout the year.

I'll look on the site again later today to see if they add anything else.

Well, I managed to pick up an FCUK Sport gift set with t-shirt for a fiver and a box of Dinner Party Crackers for £2.50 in Boots, Broadmead, Bristol but truth be told there was little left last week, never mind yesterday. Everytime I tried the website it kept going down on me which is a shame, there is still some stuff left on there, mostly edibles and kids stuff but a few toiletry and makeup items are still available as of now and there are lots of those fit flops going cheap(ish). I saw an FCUK boxers and toiletries gift set for £2.50 but it wouldn't add it to my basket so presumably they have all gone, even though it didn't say so. Not a patch on last year where I managed to get a £40 Sanctuary gift set for £10 but then again I can't be bothered to go down early and queue for toiletries I don't really need, LOL!

OMG Ive just had my despatch email.

I was one of the licky ones who got an order to go through at 4.50am yesterday. I just bought everything in my basket. Nothing has been taken off my order. Wish I had put all my favourites in the basket but didnt dare as I know how useless boots servers are.

I did go in store & get quite a bit as Id read on here how boots were cancelling peoples orders.

The order which is coming is mostly spoken for by my friends, its nice to be able to share my good fortune around

Hope everyone gets what they have ordered.

Well I ve had a funny Boots online experience.
Tried all yesterday on and off to order on line. Got through check out and to the pay now page several times then the site would crash. So never managed to order.
Got up this morning thought I would see what was going on 7.30 clicked on Boots took me straight to the pay now page. All my items in stock. Thinks mmm this cant be right. Checks sale page, everything out of stock. Goes back to basket, checks out and pays. Now confirmation email. Very strange. Fingers crossed I get my items :j
