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!!!

Keep trying Mercy.

I went on earlier and just got the listings and then tried again a bit later and it came up.
I stupidly turned it off and now I can't get back on.

curtaintwitcher · 22/07/2006 20:52

money saving expert I would assume.

I used to work in Next and the most I remember selling anyone was over E600! Dont stress over £60 Bubblerock!

nutcracker · 22/07/2006 21:03

Got Dd1 a top, Dd2 a top and Ds some trousers and a zip up jacket/fleece thingy.

part of my order came today.1 item fits! Tried to order 14 and 16 where possible but 14 too tight 16 too lose.wtf am i suppose to do.
Might keep the 14s as a target to losing the fat.Only £16.99 anyway.Most of the rest of my order is for the 4 dc.

I went today.

It was bollocks.

Ironmaiden · 22/07/2006 22:20

Hunkermunker's right, all the stock they put in the sale is off-sited stock, ie - all the shit they couldn't sell during the season!!! It's bollocks, why people queue up at 4:30am is beyond me... Why Next feel the need to open at 5am is beyond me. I did the 5am to 2pm shift one sale day, it was busier at 5am than at lunch time, why go so early?

Not bought anything in the sale but have ordered a few items from the new catalogue. You need to use the quickshop to do this at the mo though.

Socci don't think you need the code now - that was for before the sale officially started!

hunkermunker · 22/07/2006 23:16

It was all striped slogan t-shirts in pink, union jacks and ripped jeans.

I really hope that they get their act together for next season - I have bought nothing from Next this year for either DS, and only a top and a shirt for me.

trinityrhino · 23/07/2006 19:04

I went into a next store today(never been to the sale before) and got a pair of trousers each for the dds, fiver each and gorgeous

marthamoo · 23/07/2006 19:10

I bought 8 things: 5 for me, 3 for the children and everything I bought for me is going back. Quality has definitely gone down of late - wonky hems, things sewn unevenly so they don't hang right etc.

And most of the kids' stuff was minging - too much Fred Perry-esque 80s pastel stripey yuck.

jodee · 23/07/2006 19:57

Bubblerock, many thanks for this thread, I was always hanging for aaaages on the phone early on a Saturday in sales gone by, now I was able to await my Saturday delivery instead - you star! I've ordered that kaftan too but it's a 1-2 week wait.

jodee · 23/07/2006 19:58

Agree that it's tat for boys, even more so than usual, I could only order stuff for me there was nothing decent for ds.

curtaintwitcher · 23/07/2006 21:31

also agree th4e boys stuff was rubbish..only got ds undies in the next size and pair of black trousers..nothing else appealed for him..for dd there were a few things like dresses and jog pants for next size up which were fine.
