I got goodness knows how many sale emails. Most I am not bothered about but I keep on the mailing lists cos I never know when I might be! The Jewellery Channel have been driving me a bit nuts since before Christmas - I am getting at least three a day from them, usually the same ones just recirculating. A bit OTT I think.
Apart from Next, most will be an online visit as we don't have much here. I bought a couple of tops from Next (online though) - both were ones I had already and liked but got another colour. Younger son went to our Next outlet store yesterday and got a jacket and trousers (not a suit as such but they will work as one) for £27, which he was pretty pleased with! It's a wool blend with the woolmark so it can't be too bad.
I don't do well in crowds as the jostling causes me grief so packed shops are hell. Freeport today was half empty though so it was quite pleasant - apart from not finding anything to buy.
I'm still ignoring the emails about the sales. I don't need or want anything at the moment and I certainly don't want a black eye from the hoards of people pushing and shoving to get 5p off an item.
Went to Freeport again today - Next had left the tag on son's jacket - and it was absolute hell on earth! There were as many cars in a holding pattern around the car park as there were actually parked. Spent half an hour just trying to get back out and went straight home! It was much better half an hour before it closed - car park half empty.
