  • just called customer services and asked wot was up with the website. the response and I quote: 'Yes Madam, it's because people are trying to buy online and we weren't expecting them to because of the sale'

    ':naughty: so now we've all been told, it's our fault for trying to give them some money

  • Just got back from my local store, got 2 St Tropez set from £25 to £6.25 and pink Kiddizoom camera from £50 to £12.50. My store had around 15 of these, i was going to buy a few but thought leave some for everyone else. Unfotunately the lady behind me decided to clear the shelf of them Makes me sooooo mad! :mad:

    They weren't expecting people to go on the website because of the sale? It's almost like they thought we didn't know after all they were so very covert that surely not a single person would have realised?

    No? Guess Mr Boots is on his own on this one :p

    tried on line for a couple of hours this morning but gave up and went to my local shop instead. So glad I did as got everything I wanted and could have got more but couldnt carry it as I had the buggy with me,
    Really Really happy with what I got but that might be because I didnt want what everyone else seems to want!!!
    This was swindon centre, not too busy and loads of stock
