    I've been Money Tipped!
    well went to meadowhall sheffield at 9.20am....quite a few already waiting...doors opened at 9.30 and.........BOOM!!!!!!!
    you could not move!!!!!!.people were clearing the shelves!!!!!put it this way....they grabbed that much and that many that by the time i managed to get on an isle there were no mens sets left and no hair sets,....and i mean none!!!!the aisles are not even that long and the 1st aisle i managed to look down took me 20 minutes as people were not moving or were trying to get past you with the huge bags or baskets!..was like a rugby scrum!!!!!!!

  • Managed to enter my card details....said 'we are processing your payment' for about 5 mins then it crashed! No email received so have I paid or not?!
  • Who keeps stealing all the stuff from my basket?!? Everytime I refresh something else has disappeared. Can't get it checked out. My fitflops have now gone too. :( Might give up soon. I wish I had a store nearby! Good luck to everyone who is still going! x

  • So who's managing to buy the things I want when the site is down? Each time I actually get on the site the things I want are OOS - so someone is buying them somewhere.
    Gaaah!
  • Managed to check out via paypal with Lily O Brians and Starbucks. Never thought it would happen!!:j

    Just checked paypal, and it says the payment is "pending," which may mean the transaction didn't complete on the Boots side. Oh well, I'm gonna lie down and will see later. Really glad I went to the store this morning and found a handful of goodies, will try to not even look at the website on sale days next year (if willpower improves, lol).

    Got a few bits in Norwich this morning, no where near as much as usual, got the last hair gift sets i could find,
    don't think stock will last long with the amount of people fililng double trollys!
    the one in the mall (lots of celia bags) and opposite seemed to have most, chapplefields not really worth a visit.
