Thanks: Gave 99, Got 34 | Anyone hitting the sales after xmas???
I know were in a credit crunch but i am a sucker for sales and ususally buy some tosh every post xmas sale time even though the shops are heaving. I think its the thought that loads of people are getting a bargain on something and im missing out!
Clothes are the worst purchases for me, i usually buy some tosh that i probably wouldnt even look at if it didnt have 70% off
Any of you guys hitting the sales? What are you looking out for, maybe you can post on here if you bag yourself a bargain that you wish to recommend or gloat about!

I will be, if there is anything worthwhile. I tend to get alot of vouchers and cash for christmas instead of presents.
I usually blow it all in HMV |

In theory I shouldn't do as I've just spent out on a Christmas present to myself (B&W Zeppelin)......however in reality I'm a sucker for a discount sticker and the thought of a bargain so I'll no doubt succumb.
I'll let you know! |

Only if its beer, more beer, curtains, wrapping paper/xmas cards/tags for next year, or DD/DTS-HD Amp.

I will be in Bristol for Christmas, so no doubt I'll be popping to The Mall to see what JL have on offer.

I've only had it a week and I'm so pleased with it that if I could've fitted it in my car then it would be coming down to Bournemouth with me today!

Hope you will have the appropriate content insurance
