    Yep, the slot you have has gone now so this was the earliest. Im very happy though. Glad you got the best slot as i appreciate you posting it as i hate going to next in the sales & would much rather sit at my computer putting the numbers in.

    Just spent the last 45 minutes going through the pages of sale stuff and the website keeps playing up!! I know my list could be pages long and take me the next two days to go compile but I sometimes wonder if it is worth it when I remember last year in either the summer or winter sale, I'm not sure which, I spent ages doing going through this after getting the first available time slot and noticed that just before the sale started quite a bit of my list seemed to disappear in the sizes etc.. I wanted!!! Has anyone else noticed this? I just wondered if the Next staff etc... get to place their order before the VIP slots start.
    Also last year I remember having to telephone Next with my order at 6.00 am just after my time slot had finished and I could no longer log in because the computer/website crashed while I was adding items to my basket and I lost all my order - and after spending 2 days of writing my list out and asking the kids what clothes they liked I wasn't very happy, but luckily they accepted it and I got a few of things I wanted!!
    Hmmm... I wonder if this will happen again......

    Thanks OP I've booked mine too! Was convinced I wasn't getting one as it took ages for the page to load. Mines is on wed night at 8.00-8.30 gives hubby time to go onto laptop when he gets home from work before I take it for the rest of the night
  • I phoned them up earlier as everytime it gave me the chance to choose a time then kept on throwing me back off again, I had already had an email so I phoned them up and they said that after 5 this evening you could book them over the phone. In the meantime i went and did it on a friends computer so im also ordering off her computer on wednesday night as mine never lets me add anything to the basket.
