    Manchester was super busy, I got there a bit late at around 9.30 and was in the queue till nearly 10.30, only managed to get sweets and ginger beer but I'm not complaining! :) Hoping to get there early tomorrow and will try to get something nicer lol :)

    Did anyone go to the Meadowhall store today? I'm thinking about going tomorrow and was just wondering which entrance they were using.

    Yes, I went this morning, I would suggest getting there about 9 am and the queue was in the entrance to the lower arcade. They were giving coffee out in the queue as well.

    Our branch only allowed us to have 1 item from each table, so got a jewellery set, cufflinks, passport holder, bag of sweets and something else. However... as I was 2nd in the queue, the manager asked the person in front and myself if we were together and we said yes and we had built up a rapport since queuing at 7.45am. The manager said there would be a surprise for us and to wait after we had got our 5 items.
    To my amazement he said as we were the 1st ones, we could buy any 1 item in the store up to the value of £50 for 1p!!

    I couldnt believe it - I got a lovely linen jacket for £35 as there wasnt anything for £50 and it cost me a 1p.

    Dont think this will be happening again though.

    There was almost a stampede in Bristol - I stayed clear in the end for fear for my life :)


    aylesbury were letting in 5 at a time so not to cause stampede
    Those we love don't go away,They walk beside us every day,Unseen, unheard, but always near,
    Still loved, still missed and very dear
    Our thoughts are ever with you,Though you have passed away.And those who loved you dearly,
    Are thinking of you today.

    Parkgate Shopping had sold out before 10am, by the time I got in the store they only had the ginger beer and sweets left.
    British Home Stores is next door and the Cafe manager was going down the queue with vouchers for an 8 item breakfast and a hot drink for £3!!!!
