  • Oh man!!! I forgot I had a VIP slot this morning - would have been useful too as DD is growing at an alarming rate and the 3 pairs of trousers I bought her about 3 weeks ago are looking alarmingly short - oh well, I could always get up early and brave the store tomorrow. I'm not so keen on the sale stuff instore as they always have the red dot (just snobbery really - I prefer not to advertise that everything I buy is in a sale) and more importantly they keep putting the sale tags through the clothes and damaging them (several items I bought for my kids have had holes in them as a result).

    I missed my slot this morning (OOPS, alarm went off and I fell back asleep) so I logged on and got a new slot for 10.30am this morning (this was at about 8am) but I decided I didn't want to chance waiting 'til then because there was a couple of bits I really wanted so I rang them up and explained I missed my 5.30am VIP slot (told them I couldn't get online not that I was looking at the back of my eyelids, lol). I asked if I could place my order on the phone at the sale prices and they did it no problem :D

    They have stopped the annoying red dots now and this sale is quite low key so you might find things are more orderly than normal. Plus it's not at an unearthly hour too so go for it!

    Glad to hear :T, thanks :). I hate the red dot too, especially when it would leak through to the clothes :mad:

    Now they have tickets on the items, the price should either be printed on there or written with a marker pen.

    Is anyone else having problems logging into the sale slots?

    I have one for 'Now' and it says click here when its your time slot bla bla but keeps just refreshing the same page?

    I was in Next (high street store) yesterday and the SA quietly told me some of the things I'd bought would probably be in the sale next week and to hang on to the receipt! I don't know if they are told in advance what is going in but he seemed to think it would be quite a big sale.

    I almost lost the will to live waiting for my son to choose clothes yesterday so I'm not looking forward to another trip to see if the same things are in the sale :eek:
    what did he mean by hang onto receipt how would you get the difference back:confused: ?
