    That's not strictly accurate (for the last 3 years anyway) I always have my basket ready to go before the site goes down and it reappears at 70% off when the site comes back up :)

    Of course there is always the fear that it will happen ;)

    Its emptied mine every year. Most things are OOS online anyway.

    Lots of items which were OOS were back in stock: Orla Kiely, Joules, etc. Some are now OOS again.

    Its a massive pain that they dont filter to be able to take out OOS items

    I agree - wouldn't you think somebody somewhere who programmes computers/updates their website could add a filter? I lose half my life to searching for something that isn't out of stock!

    Overhead in my local (medium sized) Boots this lunchtime, in response to a lady enquiring whether the 70% sale starts tomorrow:

    "We haven't got any extra staff and we haven't got any promo material, so if Martin Lewis is correct it will be a first". :D

    Just checking in :)

    Here's my little spreadsheet of previous years:

    14 Jan 2009 (Thu - 3rd Wednesday after Christmas)
    20 Jan 2010 (Fri - 4th Wednesday after Christmas) Bad weather delay
    19 Jan 2011 (Sat - 3rd Wednesday after Christmas) 19th Jan was 4th Wednesday after Christmas
    18 Jan 2012 (Sun - 4th Wednesday after Christmas)
    16 Jan 2013 (Tue - 3rd Wednesday after Christmas) 3am live online)16th Jan was 4th Wednesday after Christmas
    15 Jan 2014 (Wed - 3rd Wednesday after Christmas) 5am live online
    14 Jan 2015 (thurs - 3th Wednesday after Christmas) 3.55am live online
    13 Jan 2016 (Fri - 3rd Wednesday after Christmas) 2.45 live online

    So based on that it would be 18th, but I'm not ruling out 11th until I check the website at midnight ;)

    Local stores have a lot of the star gifts in but not a lot else, but they do move stock around for the sale so I'll not know for definite until nearer the time (I checked out the store the afternoon before last year and they put more stock out on the day).

    I hope you got more than 70% off when you bought your calendars :p
