    Aggggghhhhhh I could scream but would wake baby up! This is sooo frustrating! Been up every hour, well sort of half sleeping and then checking but have not been able to get past the down page! Why can some people check out and others can't?

    Same here lol and Ironically he's slept through!!

    seems counter productive 4 every1?
  • See I didn't understand the whole Next thing, I tried to wake up early to queue outside store as not a VIP,couldn't drag myself out of bed, two weeks after I managed to get everything I wanted for dd in the sale through returns or the website updating.

    Perhaps the sale will update over the next few days on here too?

    If it's anything like last year I'm getting ready to go out now whilst it's not loading so I don't have to rush later lol

    whoo hoo just ordered £55 pounds worth of stuff and had the email confirmation.

    I was using Internet Explorer.

    I think it helps if the items are in your wish list or favourites as there are no links on the 75% sale page yet!!!
    s0hn1 :laugh:
  • 'Temporarily Unavailable' for me and has been for the last hour, not even a tempting glimpse of getting in ?!
    Got everything in my Wishlist too, but can't even get that far.....?

    For every hundred of us with common sense there is always one that defies the odds, especially when it comes to the boots sale.

    Last year I wanted to chuck the computer at hubby everytime he asked have you finished yet lol

    I managed to place my order at 4.45 for 75% off, but my sister cannot log in so I am trying to log in for her as I have a faster connection, but I probably have no chance since so many cretins are hitting on the refresh button and fail to understant it is that very act that is preventing them logging in as they are overloading the servers with too many request, it is exactly what hackers do in DDOS attacks.

    Or maybe it's payback time for all those occasions when we have taken advantage (excuse the pun!:rotfl:) of their glitches.

    lol true, Im sure Boots staff who are updating the website are reading our comments and laughing at us too. same thing happened last year. I ended up going bed then not long after many managed to get online. I know the same would happen. All I wanted was to get a few presents for birthdays so its not like I am being greedy lol.

    Now Boots Staff, if your reading this, pretty please can we order now as I am tired, I am a mummy like many others trying to buy, stop being mean to us.
