  • Hi all

    Got back from the Next sale about 6.30 am. I picked up some good buys, I have kitted 4 kids out until next winters sale as I bought next summers in the last sale iykwim! Spent about £200 and got about £500 worth of clothes. :T

    With regards to the credit limit query, if you pay your bill even one day late they can reduce your credit limit. I paid my bill on the 24th December instead of the 23rd and they reduced my credit limit by £1,000! Next also run periodic credit checks on customers. So, (i am not saying you have), if you have a low credit score they may reduce your credit limit or cancel your account altogether!:eek:
    March prizes: 6 x Crufts tickets, tickets to Wham live! Heck naked sausages, DVD :D:D:D
  • :rolleyes: Back from my local store.Arrived at 7am and it wasnt that busy- wondered why until i saw what was there
    not much at all - was really disapointed- went for childrens stuff and choice was poor- a lot od stuff was from last sale!! I managed to get 1 pair of jeans for son and nothing for 10 old daughter- i went in summer later in day and got better stuff. Am very disapointed and wish i had stayed in bed!!:rolleyes: Think a lot of people will find the same as the shop was half empty:rotfl:
  • omg - I just popped onto Next site to see what is left (I already ordered on Monday via vip slot). I am in a 10 minute queue just to get on the site! lol

    Lisa
    Brassic!
