    How do you know??? I'd check your E-Mails again in the morning, might be an invite then! Staff at customer services said they were only being sent out tomorrow!

    Talking only for myself, I called up and they told me I didn't have one. The man said I could check my email tomorrow, however I said if I didn't have one what was the point? to which he agreed there wouldn't be any point!!

    I'd try and blag it if i was you...Just tell them you were having problems with your E-Mails and ask to book one direct. Nothing ventured.......:confused:

    Just rang again and was told the system to book slots is now locked and wont be unlocked until 11am tomorrow. It was the tehnical department I spoke to so I do trust this information. Was also told they were testing the system earlier today which is how some people were booking slots even though they werent meant to
    Wins so far this year: Mum to be bath set, follow me Domino Dog, Vital baby feeding set, Spiderman goody bag, free pack of Kiplings cakes, £15 love to shop voucher, HTC Desire, Olive oil cooking spray, Original Source Strawberry Shower Gel, Garnier skin care hamper, Marc Jacobs fragrance.

    I do recal last time getting my email at 10:30 something as I had checked my emails about 10am that morning then a few days later when I realised Id had the VIP invite that day I looked at the time and was gutted to see it must of been not long after I logged off.....that time stuck in my head lol. So this explanation sounds Viable to me. hmmm wonder if my slot got booked or not, also wonder if it means they have in effect reset the system so no one has a slot :doh:

    Rang up Next. Slots will be released tomorrow via email. Was told I had one yippee! but wouldnt let me book now lol! Have to ring early tmw to book one over fone :T and yes I am one of the eejits that if I dont get it online I will go at 4am and try and get it instore! madness! lol well at least its the summer sale and I wont be standing in the freezing cold hehe!

    Now where is the sale listing??? I used to find that things I wanted disappeared quickly from the site even before the sale started! Also worth noting if you want something and it says available in a few weeks, go ahead and order it because chances are it will arrive and at the sale price! Happened to me with a coat I wanted when i didnt get a VIP slot the last time.
    oooooooh i luv a bargain :)
