    Was there yesterday at 4:30 am in the queue. Very disappointed with the quality of the stuff on sale. Spent very little compared to previous years.

    Next is definitely not what it was - sadly.
  • I ordered quite a lot of jeans, school trousers, bras and tops for my 13 year old online yesterday morning and there was a still quite a lot of choice for the older kids but nothing for my 7 year old son. Went into store about 9.30 and there really was a lot for him. Just ended up with a few t-shirts, 1 hooded top and a pair of combat trousers. Compared to previous years pretty rubbish to be honest. On the plus side did get some perfume and make-up gift sets.

    Does anyone know how accurate delivery times are for sale items. I ordered something that said 2-4 weeks, is it likely to be sooner because surely its in stock?

    Managed to get a VIP slot for the first time this year. Managed to order some lovely furniture at half price. Half expecting a call saying that it would not be in stock after all. However just had a phone call. Delivery will be first week in August. Did say 3 weeks waiting. Very happy!!

    i did venture out to next today and wanted some trousers age 2-3 for my son but not one pair, got a few bits but i was surprised how little i spent, would have loved the postman pat pj's as my son is now really into postman pat.

    Sometimes its sooner, sometimes later sometimes you wont get the item at all. Usually 2-4 week delay items is what they expect other customers to return of course sometimes they dont return it!

    I've just had my first delivery:j

    I had an email a couple of days ago telling me that some reserved items had been despatched, but not one of those items has arrived.

    A lot of my order was duplicatated as I kept trying to add to my basket, so I have 3 pairs of ski salopettes going back ( I thought they were boys & they turned out to be girls:o) & a pair of girls jeans.

    All my DH's suit jackets have arrived, but no trousers :rolleyes:. Let hope they turn up soon.
