Sorry, but it all has NEXT emblazoned on it, poop la roop.

MIL has the catalogue and insists on sneaking items on my girls .

oh nothing. went in and it was just vile in there.

full of crazy women dashing around and grabbing everything they can see and pushing people out of the way to get to the racks.

GET OVER IT! it's just clothes ffs!

we walked in the door, attempted to look around. and went out again. not worth the hassle.

£13. All for dd in winter sizes. If it wasn't for this thread, it would have been £0 as I forgot a sale was on.

There is a Next outlet less than 2 mile from my village. So far it has come in v. convenient for maternity clothes and petite sizes.

I can pick up and take back at will.

I am with those who hate things emblazoned with Next or any other brand across my chest. I am paying for the stuff, not the privilege to advertise for them.

Starlover - Our local Next opened it's doors at 4am on Saturday morning and they said it was MADNESS!!!! Are these people normal?!

I went in on Sunday at 11am and it was dead! No probs, no queues and plenty stock.

I got ds a fantastic furry lined winter coat for £10.99.

£40.

included cords for dh, 2 cushions, t-shirts & tops (mercifully plain! detest the whole 'i'm trouble' etc thing) for ds.

my sil consistently spends abt £500 tho some goes back. she also always gets some fab freebies that they just forget to scan i think - eg suede boots...!

they're crazy aren't they! i mean the stuff is nice... but it's not THAT nice! lol

in ours they have someone on the door and once it is full in there you can only go in once someone comes out!!!

christmas is worst imo....all those women cooped up with extended family for a whole, erm 2-3 days, desperate to part with their cash...!

i worked there for a bit part-time. the sale was soul-destroying to work at, plus i had to get up a 4am to be in work for 4.30. what was i thinking?!!

Thanks

roosmum · 26/07/2005 12:33

sl, same as most shops imo...softer styles are fine, more structured stuff like jeans not so good. dungarees ok tho.

find m&s quite good, as is ladybird suprisingly.

Haven't checked, I did mine over the internet except the website had gone down so there were only lists of products in the sale and you had to ring up.

I ordered quite, none has arrived yet daren't see how much have spent. Inevitably lots will be returned

Thanks

Same here, ssd. Didn't even know it was going on. Was up the town to go the farmer's market and needed the loo. Set foot in there and stepped right back out before I got trampled.

£220 and none of it is going back

£124 on the twins, in 6-9 and 9-12 sizes.
£86 on the older two, few bits for autumn/winter.
£10 on socks and a belt for me!

I spent £200 in the Xmas sale too, and it was all big stuff for the twins which they are wearing now. I try never to pay full price or anything. Between Next and Mothercare the babies are sorted for the winter and nearly all of it half price.

Thanks
