    Ohhhh I hope its tomorrow! Oh the stress and excitement of the next sale is about to start all over again lol

    But the preview showing all the items in the sale isnt online yet and If I remember right from the last 2 end of season sales and mid season sales its always up a few days before vip invites are sent?

    Everything changed in the last next sale - remember? They didnt' have the pdf downloadable listings (but did send them out in the post, just not in great time for the VIP start) and you had to register for a VIP slot via your account log in even when you got the VIP email. It was all "increased security".

    On a funny note, so far on the threads I've seen the obligatory posts:

    - question about what a vip slot is (tick)
    - moan about never getting a vip slot despite spending loads (tick)
    - response about never spending much and always getting a VIP slot (tick)
    - moan about next clothes being overpriced anyhow and half price being a rip off (tick)
    - question as to whether anyone has "cracked the discount code yet" (tick)

    still waiting for:
    - rant about VIP system being elitist and unfair (by someone without VIP slot)
    - response about how we don't care as we get cheaper stuff (by someone with a VIP slot)


    hehehe same every year!!!

    u just got to keep checking your emails and your next account page, the quicker you spot the email or invite via your next account the earlier your slot will be, basically just keep checking,i have alerts on my i phone, so as soon as the email comes through i can register my time slot,thats if i get a vip email, fingers crossed,:rotfl:
