    I have all of mine too except the 6 week delay things and the furniture. I have two kettles (one needs to go back but has no delivery note), a pair of petite trousers when I ordered regular, a size 12 shirt that I could have a party in as a marquee, a size 12 shirt that's so small I can't get my boobs in it, a blue top which is actually eye wateringly purple and a twin pack of PJs that's only got one top in. Returns day tomorrow.

    went on Saturday to my local next Stratford westfield. The rails were full but a lot of it was just tat I must say and it was very quiet around 730am. I did manage to get a few things but had to really look for them. A lot of the stuff looked very poor in quality.
    I remember a time when next had good quality clothes and I still have these to this day and they look good.

    really wanted some skinny jeans in black but couldnt get any. I have a pair I bought mnaybe 4 years ago and they still look good.

    Unlike other shops and sales, EVERYTHING goes on sale for half price or less. Even the sofas and big items of furniture
    But it's not everything that was in the shop the day before, so you don't know what they are going to reduce or what they are just going to put away!
    I'm disappointed with it this year, nothing much of interest at all.

    The three shops in my surrounding area have the prices marked on the back of the label in pencil from about the week before the sale. So if there is something i like I can check if it's going down and then i know it will be in the sale :) I thought all shops did that but maybe it's just the ones near me.

    quick question for those who shop online and instore
    - i was up at 3.40 on saturday for the sale was one of the first 5 in the large next near me. was looking for pjs for my toddler but there was none.
    was considering opening a next account so i get a VIP slot for the next sales.
    is it worth it or should i still just get up early?

    Even if you have an account it appears you don't always get an invite. If you are about at silly o'clock (approx 3am in the morning) the website is often updated at that time with all the returns from customers and you may get lucky with some pj's:)

    personally i'd just get up early as sleepsuits/pjs and underwear seem to sell out first online.

    It's def worth being up early to go instore. I've missed the past 2 sales due to my 2nd baby being too small to leave and I'd never, ever take him with me. Will be going to boxing day sale for sure this year!
    I got a few cute bits for my boy tonight but will be checking the next website in the next few days and hopefully be able to get some more.
