Next where I live was manic, I got there at 3am, was about 30th in the queue, by opening time the queue was 1,400 people long! I think they let way too many people in at once though as I was literally stuck in between people and couldn't move down one aisle! I did manage to get a few bits for LO However I do think next bring in ALOT of unessesary crap in for sale time though! I might just stick to the mid season sales from now on they are a lot quieter!

TBH, next is really good for the kids clothes, but adults clothes are just blah. Although mens formal clothes are nice.
I ended up round town, and believe me they had nothing, found a few tops and jumpers, and that's about it!! An hour and I was FED UP!! Honestly would have been better off looking online!!!!

I ordered one thing online, thought it was a bargain as it was £23 now £10 and I really liked it when I saw it in next, so I ordered it for LO and paid the £3.99 for delivery, I just thought it may not be in the store if I end up going lol

That will be me next year, not gonna forget my experience this year, in the run up to christmas and from today! If you go too late it's driving around looking for parking spots,
If you go too early (and you left hubby in bed) it's getting tired from holding the bags!!
If hubby comes to help with the bags, he moans that he's bored!
And to top it off, you wear layers cause you think its cold, when all the shops have the heat on Max!
Can't win - think I'll stick to online - so many more choices!
