    Ooooh! VIP, what's this about??

    It's for Next account holders - you either get an email or log in to account and can book a slot where you can buy from the sale before it goes online for everyone on Saturday. My slot is the 1st one - tomorrow at 7pm:T
    I'm very excited as I've never been given a slot before:beer:
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    Oh wow! That's fab - that way you can be sure you will be able to get stuff that you like and the right size, that's always the problem with sales...the good / right size stuff always goes first! How brill! :j

    Morning All

    Small list for me today as don't feel too great TBH :(
    • Post off ebay parcels (all packaged and ready(
    • Collect item being collected this afternoon so will free some space in garage
    • Tea from freezer
    • Lunch from stores
    • DD in reusables
    • May pop into town later if I feel better to get a few essentials - must stick to list, will park in part of town where the shops are I need to go rather than the other side meaning I have to walk past all the shops I don't 'need' to go in ;)
    • Watch other items ending today on ebay
    • Start thinking about what we need to take on hols on sat, are going SC so will take some food bits with me to save us lots whilst away. Must dig out flask too as it looks like it may be hot drinks rather than cold if this weather lasts!

    Hmmm!! bigger list than I was planning - oh well, I'll see how much I get through.

    Have a good day everyone x

    Yup - I can't wait - I've browsed the sale list and made a list of lots of lovely tops I fancy (some good reductions), so I can get the catalogue numbers in quick and buy my things before someone else beats me to it!!!

    That's a good approach, you have to be so organised about it! There was a big £1 sale on at a designer outlet online store a few months back and I spent so long browsing that all the items had sold - I have learnt my lesson now!!! :mad:

    I think it's 250, Soma, but not sure. That's what it was for me, but not sure if it's only done on number of posts?
