Wondering where is the poster lovelife1982 (think that's right) she was here last night and all day???

tinkl

Im awake and joining in! Fed my youngest and hoping she doesnt wake up whilst im downstairs other wise my OH will be shouting at me :rotfl:

I've stored the item numbers of the things I'm interested in, and checked the going rate for each of the items on Google shopping (to get a rough idea of what they're going for elsewhere). Fingers crossed I won't get stung with a false bargain! I'm on a roll after my massive Boots shop earlier, lol. £155 spent on 3 for 2's, ('saving' £75) and £42*ish worth of points! I'm hoping like mad I might strike lucky with Sainsbury's too.

Good luck, bargain hunters!!

Please help, Im new to this online sale shopping so can someone give me some instructions or am I thinking along the right lines:

Do I add everything to my basket now that I fancy, and then at midnight, press my refresh key, and hope that things have gone down 1/2 price and then if so checkout?

yes that's right but if you haven't already registered it might be an idea to do it now otherwise you'll be faffing about putting address details and card details in while we're all getting the bargins

So how long past midnight is everyone gonna wait, if it doesnt happen then. I usually stay awake a while, fall asleep wake up and find out it started seconds after i closed my eyes.

Quick survey here.....

Is anyone else depending on their wages going in for this sale(so would be anytime from 12 to 2am)...

or, do you already have the money waiting?

I have a bad feeling my wages won't go in til 2am and then there'll be nothing left! :eek:
