    I'd order SO much less in the VIP sale if sizes were more consitent - to get a decent suit, I have to order 2 jackets and 2 trousers as I don't know which is going to fit me. Add to that the issue that some suits they seem to decide to cut to fit an orangutan...that means a lot of my order gets returned anyway! If I need to buy 2 or 3 new suits for work, that's 12 items at least being ordered....maybe 16-20 items if I only like 3 suits out of 5. Clothes for my daughter aren't too bad becuase I am buying a year in advance, so if there's something I really like but its small for the sizing, she just gets to wear it this year instead.

    However, why should Next be concerned with being "fair" - surely they aren't that bothered who buys what in their sale...just as long as it gets bought. Trying to manage site traffic is probably the reason why they have a VIP slot anyway...that and that it makes people buy more as they think they are getting the real "bargains". Why would Next want to limit me to buying 50 items, when I would place an order for 100? If this was the case, they wouldn't be inviting back people whose VIP slots have finished, for another VIP slot.

    Was anyone after sofas? Basically just long through what's left and tried the quick shop as couldn't see it anywhere in the sale but when I typed in the quick shop it let me add to basket even though all it has in the sale is arm caps, anyone else finding this? Items not in sale but if you typein code to quick shop they appear?

    Did anyone buy the younger girls clothes?

    I'm looking at what's online now, and there have been the same few items rotating in and out of stock... pleaase tell me that this was not all that there was in the sale?

    Did anyone see any of the the younger girls yellow and blue collection or the blue and pinky paisley collection or should I give up hope ?

    I'm just looking at the sale now and there are loads of things back in stock, things I tried to buy this morning but said sold out, and now available in a range of sizes??! But if you try and buy more, let's say this keeps happening, won't you keep getting charged delivery fees? Such a shame, not sure what's going on.

    I tracked 8 of my parcels earlier and they all said "Courier Received at 9.15am"... as a couple of them are light fittings and there's also a large rug, they wouldn't be able to leave them if I wasn't in so I have waited in all day just in case they came ... nothing has turned up! :(

    I love all the girls clothing in this NEXT summer sale.

    Lots of them reminds me of cath kidston with their floral prints and soft pastel colours.


    Too bad I got a boy x
    Got there at half 4. Q was not as bad as I thought. Actually the q was not as bad as last year at all.
    I used to q for at least 20 minutes before I get to the till. When I finish, at around 7 ish, there's hardly any q

    Still manage to spend few hundred bucks, my boy will be fully kit out for the summer x

    will there b anything good in sale tomorrow ??? any idea
  • I have to say i had a great time at the next sale this morning! i got there at 3.30 and was 8th in line and everyone was so nice with loads of us chatting the time away.
    Not at all busy as the last one which i was suprised about, the staff couldnt have been nicer and even came round and collected our tea cups (from 24hr mc d) when we went in no one was pushy and got loads of clothes for the children was a little disapointed with the range for the boys and didnt get much for my son but tons for my daughter who is growing out of her current clothes (mainly from the last sale) must have been in line the pay for 5mins again everyone nice and chatty. spent way too much but great fun!! miss the sleep but well worth it!:beer:
