    Thanks Dalip.

    And thanks again for the editing bit. I still learn something every day here!
  • i thought you was talking about this place aswell and thought id missed a row while i was cleaning.

    what is wrong with primark i love it. bought bubs a gorgeous yellow flowery dress very similar to a next one for a £4, in Next it was £12

    also i go to Choice which does slight seconds next stuff and have picked up loads of great stuff from there, next are very picky about their products so even if the stiching is slightly off they send it to Choice.

    i refuse to pay next prices(and cant afford to now my CCs are gone, well scrap that i couldnt afford it before but hay ho)


    some people just dont want to realise what sort of situation they are in. and dont live in the real world

    but im sure in a few months she will be asking you her options again when the realisation sinks in

    I am BR and have a next account. The one listed in my br was closed but they let me open a new one six months later. Small limit but still able to order from catalogue, the difference now is that I have learned my lesson and pay back every month.

    Next?? Have you seen their recent clothes ranges?? The only nice things they sell are jeans and underwear, maybe the odd suit and its all way overpriced. There are better places to shop and kitting out her kids in Next clothes probably contributed to her debt problems anyway. Some people just wont compromise, and going br is not easy and we do have to compromise in some ways, but its worth it to be free of debt burdens and a life of misery worrying about them.

    Do you know what else she could do if she is so particular about next is - get this, strange idea I know - but she could save a bit of money and pay cash in the shop - insane.

    As a side issue what is all the hype with Next

    Have to admit i got in money troubles a few years ago with an attitude of must shop at Next and places like that

    It seems to have some magnetic pull you only have to see the queues at sale times(which are a waste of time if you are an XL like me all they seem to have left is S and M)

    A few years back i had my LBM and thought why pay £14 for a white work shirt when Primark sell the same for £4 and its probably made in the same place

    People still buy me Next vouchers at birthdays and Christmas and to be honest i now have over £100 of gift cards that on the last three of four times i've been in there just cannot see anything that i like
    Mind you again they do seem to cater for the more slim type of man

    I do hear that they are very good for kids clothes though

    Perhaps thats the answer but again its still gonna be overpriced i would imagine
