    But there won't be a lot left - not in my size anyway! Things in my basket keep disappearing even though I'm logged in.
  • I never really bother with the first sale - half price doesn't really do it for me (although I did manage to get some nice lamps yesterday and a cute leather jacket for my 2 year old).

    Wait until the further reductions start - my best bargain last year was a cashmere hoodie reduced to £5 from £129 - now that is what I call a bargain!

    Hi :)

    I agree, I wait for the further reductions, have started to add things to my history but when i checked i'm sure not everything was there - is there a limit to how many pages you can store?

    I did order some school pinafores at £3 for my dd (next year) a kitchen knife, a new baby gown £2, baby shawl £5 and some baby socks - missed out on the lamps as didnt bother looking, but didnt need them anyway!

    Hiya BB

    Not sure about the history thingy, think it depends on your settings in your Internet Options.

    I didn't need any lamps either (am all lamped out after the last 6 sales...) but I just can't resist a bargain!

    When they do further reductions, theres more and different stuff into the sale, so it might be worth waiting. Last time I got two jackets for £5 each(were £55 and £39 full price, so was very pleased). If you can wait till Jan you might get more for your money.

    I ordered a lamp yesterday... £95 reduced to £19. Just got an email cancelling the order, as they cannot get the supplies from the manufacturer!! Then why advertise them then if they aint in stock??? :mad: :mad: :mad:

    You could play the system if you've already ordered some "must have" items. If what you've already ordered & received comes on at an even bigger discount then order it again and return the first one to a store. You'd have to pay the £3.50 delivery twice of course, but it will probably be worth it.

    I got my confirmation email about 30 hours after making my order...just one thing out of stock. I got a few things reduced to £5, so I am pleased! Beats going to their shops any day.
