Signing in at stupid o clock for the SFAC watch. πŸ˜‚

LightandBreezy · Today 06:42

Is this going to be like what getting Glastonbury tickets used to be like? Multiple browsers and VPNs required πŸ˜…

SavageGarden23 · Today 06:50

I dont even want it but all night I dreamed about it,that somehow it came in stock at 2 am and I grabbed it first. Woke up at 5am as my brain was just saying selfridges selfridges gaah! I need to have monopoly money to blind buy a FAC like that now but its all the drama Mick,I just love it!

JoRaRaRa · Today 06:51

I feel like I've got no chance of getting one 😞 I've never managed to get concert tickets for big gigs, if I've wanted to go, I've had to buy through resellers. I must do it all wrong πŸ˜•

Goldleafcat · Today 07:02

I already have the JL Fragrance advent, so should be content, but now you’re all giving me FOMO!

It certainly looks like it’ll be very popular. I’m a bit of a heathen when it comes to fancy fragrance (my poshest are very mainstream brands eg Dior and Chanel) so don’t recognise many brand in the calendar but am somehow now excited nonetheless.

Caggie09 · Today 07:03

Good luck to all trying for the SFAC this morning! Im not getting it, but hope you guys get your hands on it😊

Can you not get to store if all else fails? I may have to make a visit tonight as a plan b. Bad luck has given me a busy day although I'm not sure how confident I am.they would be available in store, website says queue opens today which suggests not immediately sending.

I'm in Leeds so the closest one is Manchester and I wouldn't be able to get there until tonight. I don't think there will be any left by then.

Isabelle70 · Today 07:12

Thanks for the new thread @SoloCat.
Good luck everyone, I hope you all get your SFAC and there will be lots of happy posts.

ClutteredPalace · Today 07:14

I was going to ask if anyone was going to pick one up in person. I don't have a Selfridges anywhere near me or I would have been tempted to get there before the store opens.

I think people queued through the night for the Harrods one last year, so it wouldn't shock me if there's people camping outside selfridges.

I'm heading there anyway tomorrow but imagine that will be far too late.

LagoLady · Today 07:17

Joining in.
To refresh, I have Space NK, and I added things from their skin care Christmas edit, and I’m watching for a second for either January or December nights - maybe BT’s second advent (not the luxury one, which I have a little regret over, but mostly FOMO because you all got it and I like the packaging) Blush

MissHotMess · Today 07:22

Still no sign of the queue opening. I'll be getting the kids up and dressed early. Then they are solely my DP responsibility, while I am hounding the Selfridges website. He will not love me for it, but at least he is aware (since he is contributing to this one πŸ˜‡).

To be fair, I did that for the Pokemon Centre pop up in Westfields a few years ago so really should have considered it for this πŸ˜‚

CorneliaStreet · Today 07:23

Thanks for the new thread. Good luck to everyone entering the SFAC fray this morning.

NC543210 · Today 07:23

I'm heading into work today and will be scanning about 45 people
So Selfridges need to hurry up

Benny12 · Today 07:26

checking in was up checking the website through night …think it will be 9.am afterall as rumoured …hope will all get one and it doesn’t turn out to be chaos ! are they even selling it in store ?

AdaRed · Today 07:27

It would be nice if they gave a vague time when the calendar goes live!

Puravida23 · Today 07:29

Woke up for a 7am Selfridges check . No sign yet . Annoying that Selfridges announced their advent on the only day for the next 7 l can actually lie in
I guess all that eye cream I am stockpiling will be coming in handy
Hoping we all get one and everyone is happy today

ACAC2023 · Today 07:34

Watching, though don’t think I’ll buy anymore unless discounted. M&S looks ok this year?

I've heard different rumours, some people are saying that it's online only today and stores tomorrow, some saying that all store stock has been reserved by international customers, some saying that staff have bought all the store stock and there's only a few per store. Nothing confirmed from selfridges, I would assume that they'd tell people not to go today if they had no stock. When I was there on Saturday, I asked a lady and she just told me that they've got more staff on today but she doesn't know why and winked at me 🀣

JoRaRaRa · Today 07:37

@Puravida23 I was shattered yesterday, I've been stressing over BT and have hardly slept over the last week but even though I felt so tired, I could not sleep last night. Ended up getting up at 4:50. I'll probably be asleep before it goes online 🀣

Georgieporgie29 · Today 07:38

Thanks for the heads up I had the wrong calendar. That’ll teach me to have a sneaky look in the middle of the night with no glasses on πŸ™ˆ

Im out of contact now for the next hour or so, so I’m hoping the 9am prediction is correct 🀞
