Imagine if everything was sold out like it does with the majority of the collections, I'd of gone mad. That's what I don't understand, the products are still available.

They have really annoyed me recently, especially as it takes them so long to acknowledge their error or you have to contact them when items are missing. On the phone they said they had come back in to stock which isn't true they never showed as unavailable so i can only imagine it was a cock up where these specific items didn't get in to the right place in the warehouse when they should have been there.
My Guo Pei order arrived this morning with thankfully everything there though i only ordered the three fluidlines. I am not a massive fan of the actual product jars with the gold lids but the outer cardboard packaging is so pretty i am tempted to keep it. The actual products with that pattern like the eyeshdow quads will be so lovely. I wish i had picked one of them up

Nice Composure is one of the items that was missing from my order too, and like you the only email I received was about Well Behaved eyeshadow. When I called MAC, she told me she'd had someone else call about a missing NC about 20 minutes previously. Keeping my fingers crossed that she managed to put the order for my missing NC and ALL through to the warehouse for me in time. They really need to get their act together.I don't know who or how has packed the orders but they need to be fired.. I think I saw SF on Selfridges earlier today.
I was told on the phone that they pack around 10,000 parcels a day, as they don't only do MAC. They've really messed up this time, though.

I had to place another order for them so its a bloody good job they are actually still available.
I've had my dispatch email for Palm Tree from Guo Pei and a permanent pigment. I trust they won't mess that up too. I love the look of the blushes and the powder, but they're just too expensive for what they are.

I asked in HoF today about the Guerlain collection. The SA has no information on it yet, but she is going to 'training' on Thursday, so should hopefully know then.
I did see that the Urban Decay Vice 4 is due in store on 29th October, though.
We don't have a Givenchy counter, so I couldn't see the palette or lipstick in person, but I did see the Lancome and Estée Lauder sets which you can get for (I think it was) £52 when you spend either £30 or £35 on that brand. I like the eyeshadow set in the Lancome one, but I have most of the other stuff - all the cleansers etc.

My Nice Composure and A Little Lusty have just arrived in the post, thanks to the helpful lady at MAC online.
In another package, I received my order of Palm Tree fluidline and True Chartreuse pigment, which came via Yodel. That had taken an extra day to arrive because a trainee at the local Yodel depot had put my courier's cage of parcels in with those destined for Bexhill, by mistake, even scanning them to say they'd been dispatched to the local courier (obviously couldn't read). My package had therefore gone to Bexhill, then on realising the cage had been sent to the wrong place been scanned as 'Delivery attempted, call card left' instead of being scanned to say it had gone to their depot in error, which would have sent me an email apologising and explaining. It then had to be sent back to Maidstone so my courier could deliver it today. On the plus side, that particular order was complete, with no items missing.
Oh, meant to say - when I was in HoF yesterday I saw they had their beauty advent calendars in stock. I think they were £20 each. Reallyree has a spoiler in her blog, showing what's in the calendars http://www.reallyree.com/2015/10/house-of-fraser-beauty-advent-calendar-2015-spoiler-alert.html

Yeah, that's the trouble with having 3 children, I usually only buy 4 calendars and my husband and I have to share. This year though, I'm not sharing since he'll have moved out by then! Yay!

Have to admit, when my (now ex) husband moved out, I loved that I no longer had to share some things, and I felt a huge sense of relief as I no longer had to tread on eggshells most of the time. I also finally had control of the TV remote (I have since lost that control to my daughter grrr).
People would tell me how sorry they were to hear that I was getting divorced, but I assured them I was actually happy about it, since I filed for it. It sounds like you are in the same situation. The first Christmas without Dad being there can be difficult for children, but mine, both with Aspergers and also having been on the receiving end of his temper, were absolutely fine with it. He was always a bah-humbug at Christmas, anyway.
