hi again blaise,
i have always got my hangers, think the only reason is as you said, i take even longer to get through the checkout doesnt it, i will be in bed nice and early tonight,but like you doubt it if i will be able to sleep, i know it sounds really bad but im looking forward to the sale more than the wedding, and luckily the wedding isnt till 5pm so got plenty of time to do everything,:jwhich store is yours then if you dont mind me asking?

youve got to check theres no red marker pen on the clothes and the sale tags often leave holes in the clothes too

Yes I've noticed this too, it's sooooo annoying! That's the good thing though about getting the stuff online, they're still in theire original bags with NO red markers and horrible holes in them :j . When i worked in a shop we were told to always tag things through the seam so as not to damge them. Don't know why Next don't do this?

I must admit I'm still planning on going to the sale tomorrow :rolleyes: . I'm working a night shift tonight so I'm going to nip in at 7ish and see what's there. I've still got vouchers left from Christmas to spend, I didn't use them at the last sale because I didn't get there 'til later on and there was nothing decent left. Although think I've made up for it this time round with the online order.

I'm lucky too because I've got 3 Next stores near me now! One near my work, one about a mile down the road and one about 5 miles away on the high street! Although think I'll only visit the 2 this time

God, I think I'm addicted, how sad! oh well it's only twice a year!

Not surw what time they open but me & DD (she is 11 and cant wait) plan to walk into local town at about 6 tomorrow morning, then whe we have finished there will ring DH & get him to pick us up & take us to the store a bit further away (bigger & better) I have ordered quite a lot on Wednesday but dont want to end up with nothing if it doesnt turn up!! And daughter so looking forward to it!!

thats why im more determind to go to my bigger store and try to get some of the things i ordered online just incase it doesnt arrive, and as you said its better than ending up with nothing, anyway i do enjoy the buzz of going to the store and you get it there and then dont you, enjoy:j

There was 1 or 2 items I couldn't get online for my little girl that would match some of things I managed to order so I'm hoping to get them in store although I'll be surprised if I manage it.

yes they only use the first 6 digits, when you order the item they want to know x40/x39 etc so they know which publication you got it out of - has no real use. then when the item comes it will have three numbers at the end on the invoice instead of the x39 this refers to the size of the item.

so as long as the first 6 digits are the same you should in theory be able to do that cs95aam.

I think I was just looking at the non-sale section of the website. I called NEXT and they said that its the sale listings that count not the normal website listings.

Oh well.

Yes definitely!! instant gratification!!
There were a few bits my DD wanted & she will be upset if they dont turn up so hoping if they havent arrived by tomorrow morning, then we may get them in store. A lot of what i have ordered is for christmas & birthday pressies though so wont buy them in store as cant give pressie with big red blob on the tag!! LOL

SNAP, I've haven't ordered myself one thing! It's all been for the kids and the other half.

You know the daft thing is that a few years ago I had no idea about the Next sales (before I bacame an addict) and a friend of mine who worked there told me about the 5am starts and people queueing outside and I couldn't believe anyone would be mad enough to do that! How times change eh! I think it's since I've had 2 kids though, LOL, I'll have to blame them!!

I do feel a bit for the people who try to get stuff online tomorrow, but that was me at the last few sales. Nothing was left worth buying by the time I got on the site. So maybe the people who miss out this time will figure it out for next time and join the MSE forums LOL

Me too Heather! I've got a wedding this evening, have to leave early (say 10pm) and then in work 11pm 'til 7am. I'm then planning on visiting the Next store near my work and then the one near home before finally getting home for some much needed ZZZs.
