Amazon are doing a 'Black Friday' (started today, finishes Fr - hence name) where each hour they flog summat off dirt cheap. I pressed BUY at 09:00:01 for Take That's new CD at £1 (for SiL) and have been "waiting in the queue" ever since...

I'm 37+3 and have been sleeping about 3 hours a night. AIBU to just go back to bed and sod the savings?! Grin

Maybe at the end? New mystery stuff being added at 9pm.....

Umami · 26/11/2010 18:53

That must be an X-box, surely?

angel1976 · 26/11/2010 19:22

Oh mine, they just added a whole lot of stuff, that's Friday's night entertainment taken care off...

Umami · 26/11/2010 19:32

And two mystery gifts at 9.01!!

Be a Kindle, be a Kindle, be a Kindle.....

Oh. Just realised that is what Chickens was referring to Blush

sb6699 · 26/11/2010 21:06

I'm in the queue for an x-box. Bet I still dont get it.

I have the purchase guilts, I got dp the uber-expensive electric shaver, as he has had his since puberty and it works more as a flat-batteried epilator (you can hear him going "oooh, aaah, sharp intake of breath" bi-monthly when he shaves), but am worried he will open it on xmas day and scream "BUT MINE WORKS JUST FINE!!!!!!!"-he doesn't need to deal with the stubble rash Grin

Alwaysintrouble · 26/11/2010 21:11

And I want to know if you got the xbox, that was a good deal!

sb6699 · 26/11/2010 21:17

Still in the queue, do you think its crashed?

Rockmaiden · 26/11/2010 21:19

I'm still in the queue for the Wii so not looking good :(

Umami · 26/11/2010 21:30

If you're in the queue, you ain't got it Sad

I got neither Wii nor Xbox.

I did get Guitar Hero for Wii and Xbox, but there was only about £5 off, so I chucked them both out of the basket again!

Am really rather glad that's all over! Grin

TragicallyHip · 26/11/2010 21:37

Boooooooooo no Wii for me Sad

I'm glad it's over too but I won't know what to do with myself now! Grin

angel1976 · 26/11/2010 21:43

Oh man, this whole experience has been such a letdown. My friends in the States seem to be having a crazy time with the real Black Friday; people are queuing at 3am at the shops! I thought my friend going to Next at 5am for the post Christmas sale was bad enough... Shock

Umami · 26/11/2010 22:01

Interesting - Black Friday just over, and every item I'd got in my basket as 'saved for later' (not black friday stuff) has just gone up in price. Hmm

Bastards.

sb6699 · 26/11/2010 22:08

Nope didnt get it. Really disappointed in Amazon - came up expired with 0% sold.

Totally unimpressed with all the posts on Amazon offering x-boxes and wii's for double what they paid a few minutes ago.
