    Who is saying they are logged in??? Some people are looking at the VIP sale lists that's all. Tis a free country and all that.

    I didnt say anyone was logging in. But I know that when the VIP slots start, some people will try logging in for no apparent reason.

    No need to get like that about it. just saying theres no point as in the last sale everyone crashed it by logging in as soon as vip slots started because of all the woo har about codes :confused: fair enough if people are looking at the sale things, I didnt mention those people, you dont have to log in to do that
    Thanks to everyone that posts :T:money:

    I'm sooo jealous of all of you ladies with VIP slots [insert stamping foot like a bratty child smiley here]!

    I've not been lucky enough to become a VIP, wonder if it's got anything to do with the fact that I only ever order at sale times???

    Last summer I managed to order sale stuff for my 2 little ones using the loophole but I'm not holding out much hope this time round. I can't see how it'll work with the new way Next are doing the slots.

    To add insult to injury there's some stuff in the sale this time from the homeware section that I've been after for 12 months now for my baby boy's bedroom! I was hoping it would have been in the last sale but no such luck. It's actually less then half price too! I've got everything crossed that there will be someway us non VIPs (haha NVIPs) to order but I'm not very optimistic!

    Enjoy your shopping ladies! (No hard feelings really, I just wanted a moan. Sob, sob :( )

    Hope its still there for you, I have my fingers crossed.

    I only ever order in the sales & ocasionally small purchases in between. I thought thats why I did get an invite this time. I also have ALOT of credit available, so maybe that has something to do with it?

    Aww thanks Ziggy.

    Me thinks I shall be having to get up early on the 27th though and braving the other crazy Next bargain hunters (crazy like myself).

    At least I've got 3-4 Next stores within 7 miles of where I live so there should be a good selection.

    I best not get too tipsy at that Boxing night party we're going to.

    Can I borrow some of yours :D

    I have given up trying to work out how they give slots out. Ah but of course its random :p or so they say, which defeats the object of it being VIP doesni't it :cool:

    That makes me feel a bit better, maybe I'll reach the dizzy heights of a real Next VIP one day, lol instead of trying to get in through the back door!

    I find that because of these sales that I'm really reluctant to buy the stuff at full price because I know it'll be half price at sale time. This actually stops me buying stuff at full price! I was tempted to gt my little girl a dress to wear on christmas day which was £26 but I couldn't bring myself to do it when I saw it on the sale list for £12.

    I have just decided to have a glass of wine to steady my nerves. noticed earlier that alot of things in the children's bedroom stuff had disappered off the list.
