    and another one here :think:

    and me..... my order went through ok this morning but when I got in from work and checked it said basket emptied in the status. I rang and checked what I would be getting from my £70 order and the answer...... NOTHING! Apparantly some of the orders that went through they had to cancel to help the system cope. All OOS online now :mad:

    BlueCow - I was in Chester in an orange jumper! Hope I didn't bash you out of the way haha :D I thought it was very civilised actually given the number of people who were there. The Trafford Centre last year was just ugly. Back to Chester this year :)

    I got loads and loads of stuff, all the sanctuary bags were reduced to £3.75, loads of mens stuff. Got there 20 mins late, was devastated. Blooming traffic!

    Well......when it got to 7am and I still could not check out my online order I thought shall I drive into Chester for 8am ish, but was shattered so thought would not bother as largely wanted toys. Hubby was heading to B&Q at lunctime so thought it would have been rude not to pop in lol!! Did not land until 12 and was actually suprised what was left - got a couple of bits and spent £29. Was very very busy 12 ish but everyone was lovely. What time did it actually open? Think will ditch online next year and just pop into store!!!

    Was 8.30, I was gutted, got stuck in traffic until 8.50 :rolleyes: One year, we got there at 8am (thinking it opened then), they let us in, there was a massive crash on the fountains roundabout and no traffic could go anywhere for hours. There were about 5 people in the whole shop until 10am. Bliss! Obviously bad that there was a crash but was very peaceful. This year, there was about 50-60 people there by 8.50 and loads and loads had gone already

    :ABeing Thrifty Gifty again this year:A
