Did anyone here give up their boxing day to shop in the sales?

[TEEstheCEEsontobejolly]

I didn't but i just ned to know which of you did so I know who I'm mixing with!

Nope not me, would rather wait a week or so until it is a bit quieter, plus no money for sales anyhow lol.

I don't understand the compulsion of some people to go to the sales so soon after the orgy of shopping before Christmas??

I went today as it's my birthday and it's my tradition!!! I always get money for christmas and birthday to do just that!!

I think it's sick that shops go on sale on Boxing Day.

we went to childrens party.

good god no. couldn't even bear the thought of it. dh used to go to the next sale, but at about 7 not 5, but didn't bother this year either.

No way

but i did give blood though

Not me. I can't believe some people would leave their beds at some ungodly hour to queue up in the cold to buy some very ordinary clothes like Next. I mean they are not that expensive to begin with are they? Best of British too you if you are going.

To not too. Sorry.

apprantly today is the busiest day of the whole year at the shops. WHY?

i don't want to go near another shop till at least the end of January

Why is it sick TC? I live miles away from my friends and family, if I lived closer then I would see them rather than go shopping on Boxing Day. As it was I did get some brilliant stuff for my dd in Zara, which I wouldn't get next week as the sizes would be gone. I also bought boots for my self in Clarks which were reduced to £20.

No. I'd rather eat 2 day old cold boiled sprouts. Don't like shops, don't like shopping and neither do my kids. DH does so he can do it alone .

No we had Christmas Day 2 as IL's came and DC's had loads more presents and a big dinner etc.

However DH was at the NEXT sale (at an retail park) at 5am this morning, and then took DD to the shopping centre to try his luck there at about 10am - however it was too busy on the second attempt so he came home with nothing but a Mickey Mouse puzzle for DC's from the Disney store!

Not me. hate shopping at the best of times. Couldn't think of anything worse than battling over a half price sequin top....thats why God invented online shopping!

God no.

We were driving back from The Lakes yesterday - when we got to the M60 where the Trafford Centre was it was choc-a-block. THe car park was rammed and there was traffic to get in right back to the motorway slip road. People must be bloody nuts.

And I certainly wouldn't queue up for Next stuff either. It's crap.

Dear God No......

urgh, I don't like shopping at all, especially with the dc in tow (dh refuses to come, and if I do drag him he behaves worse than the dc!)

Nope, have no money to spend anyway, and I much prefer to shop online...

We treat boxing day as a holiday, so we visited my FIL and his wife, exchanged gifts with them and spent the afternoon with them (surprisingly pleasant it was too )

Shopping on boxing day strikes me as the same cosumer madness that affects people before christmas...

I would rather stick pins in my own eyeballs.

let me see.... stay at home with DH and DS and have a lovely time....... or go and stand in line with strangers to hand over hard earned cash.

No competition.

No but we should have done as we have saved money to buy a new television and a new bed and I bet we have missed the bargains. ut it is so rare we have time at home together as a family. I have been in pyjamamas since christmas day and it feels fantastic to not have to face the outside world.

I won't go on Boxing day as I think that they should still be shut!
Usually go on 27th but we went to the pictures today as I am knackered

TBH Next clothes are still expensive to me at full price so I tend to go there in the sales !

No, the last thing we need is more stuff.

Nope. It's a vulgar activity.

I'm a "fifth" one too, no money to go near the shops anyway!
