    I got the same letter - but then another this morning with the timer saying they'd managed to get extra stock! :) So maybe don't give up just yet everyone.

    However please also see vjain's previous accurate comments about the item!

    I picked one of these up in B&Q a few weeks ago and agree the suction bit is rubbish. I personally don't think 2 minutes is long enough to shower, wash my hair etc :o so don't use it.

    BUT....if you've got kids it's perfect for timing how long they brush their teeth for. My daughter thinks 30 seconds is the same as 2 minutes :rolleyes: so now she uses this to time herself. The novelty of watching the timer go down seems to make her brush for longer.

    Yeah I got the letter saying they had run out yesterday and I wouldn't get one. Then a jiffy bag came today with the actual orange timer in it.. How bizzare :)

    i got the timer, and garden brochure, together with a letter saying sorry they had run out of timers:confused::confused: :rolleyes:

    thanks again op, i'll just use it 3 times for each shower or something, at least it does make you more time aware!

    I got the letter yesterday saying 'Apologies, but due to unprecedented demand.....' and no timer for me.

    This morning a timer came in the post, with a letter saying they had managed to source more stock!! Its a nice little thing, going to try it out!
    ... don't throw the string away. You always need string! :D

    I hadnt read the previous posts before, and I agree that 2 minutes to shower is nowhere near long enough. I might use the timer for teeth cleaning instead as someone suggested
