    So I wonder who actually won?
    Sorry you all had such exciting news followed by a slap in the face :(
    Boots should at least send you all a voucher by way of apology.
    August = Nowt, Sept = Zilch, Oct = Not a sniff, Nov = Fingers still crossed :)

    I got a follow-up email telling me it was a mistake.

    Oh well, easy come, easy go... although at the very least I think a nice voucher should be offered to the disappointed!
