Well done!

I wanted both. Got neither but did manage to nab the icing pen which makes me happy

I'm really happy, managed to get the goose fat and the Leiths Cookery Bible. Unfortunately I missed the LoveFilm this morning, but hopefully they'll have it on again.

I am struggling to see most of this as anything more than an electronic jumble sale so far. Yet people seem to be getting really excited, maybe I'm not looking at the right page. I click on Black Friday, then see a line of stuff with a countdown...surely that isn't it?

And, whilst I am on a bit of a role. Why are selfish people clicking things that they don't want? Maybe, and again I could simply be missing this, maybe the point is to see who can be quickest with the click, then amass a load of stuff to look at at the end of the day? To then decide that you didn't really want it anyway....

How come there is such a gap between 6pm and 7pm....maybe I really am missing something? Help...

The happiness gene?;)

To be honest, I think it is a little bit of an electronic jumble sale, with amazon flogging some junk they want to clear out of their warehouses.

But there are some good genuine bargains as well, you just have to keep an eye out for them and ignore the rubbish. This thread helps with that, as people point out what's good value etc.

Black Friday can be a useful way of getting a good price on items you wanted anyway. However, there is always the temptation to buy stuff you don't want just because it's at a slightly reduced price. One must exercise discipline, which is why you often find people here saying they threw an item back.

And I must say, it's entertaining to watch but so far I've been quite restrained and only bought a couple of things that I would have been buying for Christmas anyway.

I always prefer more of a charcoal effect to be honest

Very good...:T

Like many of us, I know that there is lots of tat, but I can't help get sucked into it, so of course, I will be hovering at 6.59....
