Haha. I fancied some earrings so clicked immediately as the add to basket came up. Lost out but am 61st on the waitlist..chances of getting it poor.... according to Amazon.;)

My bet is chances are very good as soon as someone sees the earrings & the price. :eek: I certainly won't be going ahead even if I do get the chance.:rotfl:

Do let us know if you get the chance - would be interested to see if they did sell

My hubbie works in Amazon and staff aren't getting a heads up on what's gonna be on offer and Amazon staff aren't even allowed to buy any of the lightning deals, to preserve customer trust

Here is the email Amazon staff got -

Following the brilliant response to Black Friday Deals Weeks last year, it’s back this year and it’s bigger and better. Black Fridays are special promotions to discount certain products.
Running between Monday 21 and Friday 25 November there will be twice the amount of items available to customers and we’ll be featuring deals across all categories.

Lightning Deals will be the highlight of the promotion; limited quantities offered at a discount for a short amount of time. This year they’ll feature the new buying experience where customers have the chance to add themselves to a waitlist – if customers who claim the deal don’t check out within 15 minutes, the customers on the waitlist get their opportunity to buy the deal. More than 500 unique ASINs will be appearing in the Lightning Deals so there really will be something for everyone.

However ….The Small Print
To preserve customer trust, Amazon employees are not permitted to purchase Lightning Deals which are offered as part of ‘Black Friday Deals Week’. A rush of orders from people within Amazon has the potential to affect the availability of these deals greatly and we need to be sensitive to the fact that customers could believe, albeit incorrectly, that Amazon employees have unfair advance knowledge of the offers.

Please ensure that Associates are briefed of this and also that they understand why Amazon employees and those on contract to us are not eligible.

Someone should forward that to Tesco

you can download trial versions of adobe software here http://www.adobe.com/downloads/

Trials last 31 days from the day you launch the trial, may be worth downloading to try before you buy. These deals are always on. Also try https://www.software4students.co.uk if you have someone in the house who is at school, college or uni, as they are fairly cheap for most software.

Right! Thats it, I'm off, I'll just keep buying things unnecessarily, I'm sure my dog won't hate me if she doesn't get a Flying jacket!!!!

I'm pretty thrilled with the Wonders books for £11.69! Cheaper than buying them both used on Amazon. (Probably not cheaper than eBay though, but I need that plastic-y new book smell!)

It's your fault I bought them too.:p I only looked at them after reading your post.

My daughter loves all things solar system since learning about it in school so I just HAD to buy them at that price. :cool:

Not your daughters jeans at £50-going quickly. Have heard very good reviews about these but still too pricey for me.
