The Next Summer Sale

This weekend has been a little bit of a wash out with the weather, which unfortunately (for my husband) lends itself to idle thumbs in need to keep themselves busy...obviously in the form of my favourite past time SHOPPING! For some unknown crazy reason I decided to humour my sister-in-law and drag myself out of bed at 4am to join her and the mass hysteria called The Next Sale.

I could not believe my eyes when I saw that other 'crazy' people had also awoken from their slumber for this spectacle, consequently creating a que to the front door as long as my bank statement. Whilst I do not wish to experience such a traumatic morning again for a long time, I was really pleased with some of the bargains I picked up for our home and a few little treats for the hubby and myself.

SOME OF MY FAVOURITE  PURCHASES

How cute is this cushion? It's for Bruno!

Some 'everyday' tops

Yes! I fought off the under my legs lady for these sets.  Jen 1  Leg lady 0 

 

£12, Great as it charges my phone too!

I thought this was really sweet, nice to open the door to!

Some of the other happy shoppers *cough, cough* present that morning were running around the store like they were on an episode of supermarket sweep, which was quite funny to witness. At one point a woman actually crawled under my legs to nab herself a double duvet set, at which point I started to crack. The poor husbands that had been dragged out as bag carrying mules had strategically placed themselves on the half price sofas in the home department surrounded by swag, whilst their other halves ransacked the underwear rail and children's section. The word 'SALE' to me is a double edged sword, beautiful items at half the price but at the cost of crazy people stalking your purchases to try and take them from you. So, in conclusion to this subject, if you want to grab a bargain you've got to be prepared to get your hands dirty, and the early bird gets the best bedding!

NOTE: I also had a VIP online slot booked in on Wednesday and was really dissapointed as the site kept crashing/kicking me off, I did manage to still spend a small fortune but its nice to come home from work each day to different little parcels :)
