I wasn't going to buy anything as I got loads of stuff in Freeport a few weeks ago really cheap, but then the code was posted on MSE this am and I just spent £60 - mainly on me!!!

prob my server then!! (AOL)

God Hula - there is no way I will be going near an actual Next store until this sale is all over - they do end up like jumble sales, that's why I do it online!

Ordered what I can get online and in answer to your question hulababy yes everything in the store thats any good goes in the first couple of hours, though you can pick up stuff if you go when they start taking returns as the harded next sale shoppers get up at 3am for 5am start pick up everything they think they might like and then return what they don't want in a couple of days.
TBH I do most of the next years shoppingin the next sales so have bought all 4dcs shots and tshirts for next year, ds1 size of school uniform is in the sale 3 blue v neck jumpers for less than 10 and 2 pairs of trousers for less than 7.
Always try to get dh a couple of suits and shirts as they wear as well as other ones but half price.
I will be picking up my 2 sisters at 4am sat morning and going to line up outside next in bluewater for 5am as there were no suits he liked in the directory. If I can get 3 suits I'll save 180+.

OOHHH how exciting, although I dread looking cos I know the trousers I got a few weeks ago will be reduced now!!!

I thought there was some quite funky stuff in Next at the moment ... sure some of it is a bit boring (like summery linen trousers in Navy & Black - not good for holiday really!) but there is some cool stuff. Am not a boring housewifey or office junior though.

Thanks for that bubble, must have been me! after all that though, the earliest they canm deliver is saturday morning, by which time we will be negotiating the giant roundabout that is Birmingham!!

Will have to find a store in Devon if we get desperate!

bubblerock · 20/07/2006 19:44

Do you mean instore Fio? Instore sale doesn't start until Saturday morning. The website will still show full price unless you change the code.

buibble how do you knwo all this

poisson · 20/07/2006 19:55

leather bag

bubblerock · 20/07/2006 19:58

It happens before every sale - the code gets found out and everyone orders before it goes 'live' - you just have to wait until they know the code on forums like MSE. Loads of people still don't know about it and that's why it's a nightmare trying to get through or order online on Saturday morning!
