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!!!

lol - I can just imagine all these DP/DH's hating me right now! Just remind them that I only gave you a gentle nudge in the right direction - I didn't make you buy the stuff!!

Just tried this dress on (it was half price) it's lovely, v cool - would be perfect to screw up into a suitcase (if I was lucky enough to be going on holiday )

I bought this dress too also half price.

here's the kaftan Half price but still not sure.

I won't be hitting the beach this weekend - too many guests staying and a viewing tomorrow so will be busy busy!

The dress is actually really slimming because the waist is dropped so it doesn't hit the tummy, it's not clingy either!

I like kaftan Bubble - keep it

Just ordered the brown dress too (hope it fits as had baby 11 weeks ago!)

So thats......... £110 in total so far (thank god for free delivery codes as i've made 3 separate orders so far!)

Thanks Bubble - you rock and you are officially now my new best friend!

Mandy - I keep thinking I might just have another look through, see if there's anything else I fancy but I mustn't - I don't need anything else even if it is a bargain!

I think I will probably keep the kaftan and if I don't end up wearing it I can always put it on Ebay next summer!

DH is winding me up that, as I've ordered when I shouldn't, I shall be blacklisted and banned from the Next sale in the future.

Have you done this before, bubblerock, with no repercussions?

curtaintwitcher · 21/07/2006 22:23

ohh love the kaftan and dress...keep thinking about going back to look as I didnt look at shoes etc for me so everyone else has something bar me.

tegan · 21/07/2006 22:47

Well I have done my £110 order but can't get to the log in screen to get it processed so I guess they don't want my money then.

Jones - I did it last summer too, there are no repercussions, to be honest I don't think they mind it happening and leak the code on purpose, they're hardly likely to stop us spending our money!

JonesTheSteam · 21/07/2006 22:53

That's what i said bubblerock.

wishful thinking on dh's part, i think - fed up with me spending so much money!!!!!

lol - I just thought, I bet he's trying to dissuade you!! Tell him he can get up at 4am and take you shopping in the Next jumble sale instead if he's worried!

Just had the rest delivered - the 'ditsy dress' fits perfectly, it's also lovely and cool

Good result this time, everything fits and nothings being sent back!

Is anybody else having problems ordering online - or is it just me?

All I can get is sales listings. I knew I should have done this yesterday.

poisson · 22/07/2006 11:02
