    Saturday I think? Have you looked at the marks and spencers online sale for baby clothes?

    Yes, I got a couple of bits but even though I bought as soon as the sale went live I still missed out on the sleepsuits I wanted. Never mind. :rolleyes:

    And yes, the thought of queueing for a Next sale at 5am and fighting it out in the aisles fills me with horror too!:eek:

    I'm very grateful to whoever on HUK worked out how to order early. I didn't get a slot but managed to order a bed set, curtains, cushions and matching rug for my six year old for £62- we'll be moving soon and I wanted to get him matching items so very happy (if it all arrives!). Did anyone else go for the Road Signs set?

    Ok £2000 compared with £350 bit different but there you go.
    Don't want to fight, first time I had a VIP slot that was all just spose I imagined that ment getting what I wanted. I understand why people sneaked if I wouldn't have had a vip slot I would have probably done the same. Sorry if I have offended anyone!

    Sorry, I wasn't fighting, just cross about that other woman and took it out on you :o

    I'm nice really :D

    :rotfl: It wasn't Next that I braved though, just marks and spencer and not on a weekend. I had to go into town while my boy was in nursery, and thought that as I was passing I might as well look at the sale stock. I bought a jumper for my eldest, reduced from £8 to £5 so not a massive saving but he loves it, it's one of those really soft ones. So not a wasted trip :D

    We're going to alton towers tomorrow so I'm not looking in next, I'm not brave enough anyhow. I nipped in for a minute last time they had a sale and it was scary, worse than the scrum around the chickens when they are part of the m and s £10 deal :rotfl:

    Still 90 minutes until my VIP slot and of the 10 or so things I wanted there's only 1 left available. Not paying the delivery fee for that and with such a young baby I can't get to a store early. :(

    Also, can items bought online be exchanged for a different size/item in store later?
