I am so tempted by the PURE Twilight radio / alarm but as DH keeps pointing out - we have our son to wake us up.

Tbh, I'm a little disappointed by the deals today...not only by whats on offer but also the discounts given. Am I being greedy? Was expecting to be Shock but I'm more Hmm

Hoping to find something by the end of the week!

I seem to think it got better towards the end of the week last year, if I remember rightly. Though don't hold me too it Grin

The vax mop is £50 in argos. Might wake up for it.

Yeah I'm hoping that they are saving the Shock deals for later on this week.

Hmm, just had a look through, not very much inspiring. I did buy the Melissa and doug beads last week though Angry I looked in the toys category and then browsed through it all and there were some toys that didn't appear in the toys category Confused

The vax mop is currently 49.97 so if it drops below £40 I might consider it.

They had a kitchenaid last year. I can't remember the exact price, but I think it was about £100ish Shock. I would have got one, but I didn't want a white one nothing to do with my fat fingers being to slow. Am getting a pink one from Selfridges next month, unless my wish comes true and it's on Black Friday for £20 Grin

You know when you're on Ebay when you're in the final seconds of something you really want. Feeling excited, nervous, heart racing and adrenalin pumping no? just me?! that's how I feel all week when it's Black Friday! Even when there's nothing I want Confused Grin

See, I would have bought the white one and sold it again for a profit.

Just got an Anglepoise lamp for DH's new study for £50. Very bargainous and he'll be happy as long as he can deal with the fact that its powder blue. If not, I'll have it!

That's his birthday sorted. Phew.

I got the Le Creuset! We're going to replace our gas hob with induction and some none of my pans will work, so it's a good excuse, no? DH is going to kill me Grin

I've just been through the upcoming deals again and I swear there are new ones added since I last looked at just gone midnight (I waited up thinking the deals would start then!)....maybe I was just too tired at the time.

Someone else said they could have done this last year?

Am I right in thinking that all the deals will be listed in the "Today's Deal" section, rather than being hidden elsewhere on the site?

Oh they've got a PS3 coming up, how much off do we reckon?

I think last years Kitchenaid offer was pretty disappointing, not much off if I remember and lots of upset mumsnetters Smile

NoSoggyBottoms · 19/11/2012 10:08

lol SpottyTeacakes thats my guess anyway.

I really am finding this addictive. Quite interesting to see what is and isn't selling. I guess the ones listed later on will go faster, when more people have access to the net.

Hope nothing good is planned for tomorrow afternoon...I'm working!

I must not succumb. Last year I bought the dog a flying jacket. I have still not lived that down.

I still don't get it :( I've been on amazon and I can see the stuff under black Friday and scroll left and right but I dont get how you search specific categories?!? When I do that it seems to take me into normal amazon stuff. Confused somewhat. Will try again on big conp rather than phone to see if that helps. :)

How do you find out what is on tomorrow or the rest of the week? I am not that impressed today

AudrinaAdare · 19/11/2012 10:18

On the right hand side it says Category: All then a little arrow where there is a drop-down box. Probably invisible on a phone if it's like mine.
