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

I can't even get Amazon to show me what is coming up... it just whirrs.

TA I had that problem in Firefox, seems to be ok now I've switched to IE though

TrillianAstra · 23/11/2010 12:52

I can see now - don't want any of today's things so I am safe :)

do i want £300 earrings? should i? can i get them for £50????

TragicallyHip · 23/11/2010 14:01

Did you get them? £112 Shock

TequilaMockinBird · 23/11/2010 14:02

I dont really want any of them, I just need to get something .... it's strangely addictive, this Grin

TrillianAstra · 23/11/2010 14:19

I think that's the point - and if you don't get the £200 earrings you will be looking arund on the site at other earrings....

StealthPolarBear · 23/11/2010 14:23

the stuff's not that much cheaper though, is it?

TheLogLady · 23/11/2010 14:25

i have sucker written on my forehead. i am enjoying it though. i'd have loved some diamonds and a coffee machine but i resisted.

TheLogLady · 23/11/2010 14:26

some is stealth. a wii pack yesterday for £50. a £700 coffee machine for £300.

do you think the electric candles would make a tasteless good christmas present for the sister who has everything?

TequilaMockinBird · 23/11/2010 14:27

£374 for a coffee machine? Shock

I didnt try for that one, I'm not that daft Wink

TheLogLady · 23/11/2010 14:33

TequilaMockinBird · 23/11/2010 14:34

I actually think those candles are quite nice TheLogLady Blush

WTF was the Greek Kitchen and Snapper Fish?

TragicallyHip · 23/11/2010 14:36

They were cookbooks saorachd

TragicallyHip · 23/11/2010 14:37

A lot of deals that were up yesterday are popping up again today. I'm hoping the Wii will make another appearance Grin

TheLogLady · 23/11/2010 14:41

she'll be getting the candles then tequila Grin

TheLogLady · 23/11/2010 14:41

I htink it'll be a kindle at 7pm. i'd like one of those.

saorachd · 23/11/2010 14:42

Oh, that was a swiz!

I clicked immediately on the Creuset shallow casserole and it was sold out.

Thanks Tragic. I had visions of an Adonis plate smasher with a biting fish.

Yes I tried for the Le Creuset shallow casserole as well but no luck. Although the discount was not that amazing, tbh. I've seen them for similar prices at outlet shops.

taintedpaint · 23/11/2010 14:57

I got Just Dance, it's the only thing I really wanted, will make a nice Christmas present, so I'm happy. Might try for more stuff later, but only if it's something I could really put to good use. Not loving the way some people are clicking on everything (see the discussion threads on Amazon).

TrillianAstra · 23/11/2010 15:06

Amazon often have nice dishes on good offers wihtoutit being a big super-speedy-clickfest

TheLogLady · 23/11/2010 15:08

i need a nap but also need the scrabble game for christmas pres. oh the dilemma.......

BerryLellow · 23/11/2010 15:10

I'm still 'waiting in queue' for one of the creuset things too, surely it can't be taking them that long to not sell it to me?
