Got a £50 marks and spencer voucher so im going there at 6am tomorrow when it opens  dont have a clue what im going to buy!
But...
Don't you think its ironic? From August nothing but xmas is advertised, people rush about and get stressed spending hundreds of pounds on presents....
.... Only to go into town a few days later and all of it be in the 'sale' where they rush about in the masses spending even more money on unecessary crap.... again? Buying stuff other people had bought for xmas when it was more expensive, getting it for half the price 2 days after xmas
makes no sense in my eyes!

Yeah hence why I tell folk to give me a cash alternative so I can get stuff when its reduced!!
Jades mum bought her boots out of River Island for £90, went in last week, sale had started early & they were down to £40

It is stupid, it annoys me when you buy something full price then its half price and you then have the same clothes as everyone else but you have paid full price

Same here, we have a retail park near me and the cue was massive, the traffic blocked off a few main streets and you couldnt move

I dont bother going to High Street sales now cos
1) too fecking busy
2) cant find anything at all... most store pull out all the crap they couldnt sale during the year and try and see it in the sales.
This year, i've been doing quite abit internet shopping and found quite alot of bargains on the net

one t-shirt (£12), two hoodies (£40 and £41).
All items had at least £20 swiped off them I think. First time I've actually gone somewhere for sales and bought sale items.

Would rather wait till after the sales when all the skanks/desperate bargain hunters have gone home. Can't believe what I saw last year with people literally pulling and fighing over items for a tenner etc. Amazing!
