I want that dress!!!

Well, the bacons go shopping.

Not the market, but NEXT infamous 50% off half yearly sales. This happens every summer and winter, with the crazy people at Next opening their stores at 5am on the first day so crazy buggers like us can go scouraging for bargins

5.20am : The roads are still clear and dawn is breaking. I was hoping that the store would be fairly empty so I don’t have to push my way in.

5.23am:Wahlau.

5.30am: Look at all the bedhairs grabbing onto stuff like its going for a song.

Its not actually that dirt cheap, seeing that NEXT is fairly Topshop priced.But with the 50% off, it makes every item affordable…and with the changing room not being open, people just grab it all and take off with it, returning items that do not fit the next week.

We left at 6.10 after grabbing:

3 pairs of curtains
4 photo frames
1 lampshade
1 bustier
2 skirts

Seeing that none of my curtains matched, we headed towards ANOTHER NEXT to continue with the damage

6.19am: This was even worse.Apparently Toys R Us down the road were having a morning madness as well

This is proof that even men likes 5am shopping madness

4 queues, all snaking around the store.Like free only…

8.15am: After 1 hour’s queuing, the end was getting near…

Our damage

Total Damage:

5 pairs of curtains
1 bedsheet
4 photo frames
2 lampshade
1 bustier
2 skirts
2 shirt set w tie
1 pair cufflinks
1 bra
2 necklaces
1 coin purse
2 bath & body sets
1 wedding hat
1 coffeetable (!!)

I know, I know, no proper pictures of what I had actually bought. Comming up soon – I had put up the curtains as well.We were home by 8.30, breakfast by 9 and in bed by 9.30; totally and utterly shopped out. Hopefully this will stop any further shopping madness for at least a month…

At 4pm (yes, we went back just to check) – it was all over.
