To be irritated by shop stock?

[CakeNinja]

Yes I know I am but I just got back from holiday an hour ago and am doing last minute shopping for a party I'm going to in an hour.
She asked for slippers.
Can I buy slippers? No I bloody can't.
I have been to 8 shops, 3 of which are actual shoe shops. They have sandals, flip flops, WELLIES, but no slippers.
When I'm trying to pick up summer things like bikinis in the summertime, I'm told it's too late, they're selling their Autumn/Winter collection.
So I thought I'd be safe, shopping for slippers in the summer as they are, you know, AUTUMN/FUCKINGWINTER!
And yes, I know I'm shouting
And I've now wasted a further 5 minutes of my time typing this message of anger. All in a bid to deem IANBU to expect shops to sell the stock they say they are stocking!

Primark have slippers in yesterday

[AndNowItsSeven]

Asda

[TaterTots]

This is the irony of BHS closing this weekend.

[RJnomore1]

You probably ANBU but you made me laugh at that I feel your pain

[CakeNinja]

I'm not near a primary, asda OR BHS!

[CakeNinja]

Oops, Primark - see how annoyed I am?

[TaterTots]

Move house.

[Soubriquet]

Sainsburys have slippers!

[CakeNinja]

Oh my god, I've just pulled up to a sainsburys to get emergency presents, will look for slippers but probably write an IOU in a card, I was hoping for something a little more luxury than sainsburys (no offence, I'm very grateful for the advice and will have a look anyway! But I usually spend around £50 on her so was going to splash out on some fancy ones).

[CakeNinja]

How will moving house help me?

[Soubriquet]

No offence taken
I couldn't imagine spending £50 on slippers though.

Have you got a beales nearby?

[TaterTots]

Just being a bit facetious because you said you didn't live near any of the shops suggested

[IfAtFirstUDontSucceed]

We're going abroad next week so we popped to our nearby (huge) shopping centre for some last minute bikinis, flip flops etc. Trawled all the major high street shops for hours, could I find any? Could I chuff!

All big chunky jumpers and boots. Only bikinis I could find was 3 pretty hideous sets in Next. £30 for the top £20 quid-ish for the bottoms. I'm not paying near on £50 for a bikini.
Other than that there were the remnants of the sale with no visible sets and odd sizes!

Might just buy them when I'm over there.

[AnotherTimeMaybe]

So 50 on slippers
Do you have Gucci near you at least?

[Leggytadpole]

Next have slippers.

[ShotsFired]

Garden centre is your best bet.

They always have expensive overpriced random stuff in. You could probably get her some floral garden clogs, at the very least.

[elodie2000]

John Lewis?

[WorraLiberty]

I agree with TaterTots

Just move house.

And do it now (before the party) instead of all this anger and drama.

[elodie2000]

I have floral garden clogs! They were an unwanted gift! I was horrified but how wrong was I? They are now the most useful & comfortable item of gardenfootwear I own! 😄

[TSSDNCOP]

Order some online, print a picture and glue it in the card.

[MeAndMy3LovelyBoys]

Debenhams?

[dodobookends]

You should try buying gloves at the end of January...

[Minstrelsareyum]

M&S of course! Don't think they will be all "granny style" although they can be very comfy and VERY practical!

[Catanddogmake6]

Just sheepskin slippers are lovely. No idea how you source in an hour although Debenhams stock them. Amazon Prime same day delivery - can you get them sent to party address?
