I have the list of reductions but the internet list is vastly different....

List of planned reductions for the shop? I plan to be there asap on Saturday as ds2 doesn't fit ds1s hand me downs and needs some clothes of his own.

And they are ?????
When does Next open on sale days? Is it earlier? My parents are up this weekend while dh is at his brother's stag night so can be there early without 2 children in tow.
Can you tell I've been waiting for this sale for weeks!? Ds 2 is small for his age and I find Next things fit him best.

My friend works in Next and they are opening at 5 am on Saturday.
I hope to get a bit of a result. Got a wedding to go to on Saturday and was going to borrow this friend's suit that she bought in Next (where she works and gets a discount). She bought it to wear to Ascot and I said that I wanted to get exactly the same suit for the wedding. My friend said that instead of me buying the suit, I could borrow hers. We used to be the same size, but I seem to have grown in the last 2/3 months.
Anyway, I just thought the suit would still fit and my new man kept saying when was I going to get the suit and try it on to see if I liked it.
I was a bit chilled out about it, not worrying, as long as the children's outfits were sorted, I wasn't too worried about mine.
Anyway, I popped round my friends on Tuesday night to try the suit on and IT DIDN'T FIT!!!
Time to panic. My friend told me that she is working early mornings/late nights getting the stuff ready for the Next sale. Last night I went to Next and tried on 4 trouser suits and picked the one I liked best. My new man then ordered it for me from the Next catalogue and it is being delivered tomorrow, but, me being sneaky, is hoping that I can get it in the sale on Saturday in which case I can send the one from the catalogue back (unworn, obviously) and wear the same one that I get in the sale.
Worse comes to worse and the suit isn't in the sale (or any of the other 3 that I liked) I have still got a suit to wear (albeit costing full price).
Sorry to have waffled - I seem to have this habit of veering off track.
