i just placed my BM dresses order yesterday! finally, got that off my chest. hopefully they won't take too long to make!

today, one bm told me that she got her measurements wrong and needs a 6 instead of a 2. i'm at work, so totally forgot about april fools day. she freaked me out for a minute! EEK! man, she got me good.

anyone else have stories about april fools?
laugh out loud That's a good one! I was just thinking from size 2 to 6? She couldn't possibly mismeasure that much...? And High Five on checking one more thing off your list.

No April fools stories, but I do like SD's win a $1 cow and save on milk on FP! Roll

wow, they are sure making a lot of these +2 cup size bras. The new unlined Angels bras look pretty!

FYI there are some of the 10 min solutions videos on Netflix instant streaming! I've done some before and they totally kicked my ass. So I'll keep doing my Wii fitness games Teehee

Do you think they will stop you from being able to use SRC to buy GC? I have a 50$ left, and if no good deals come up before it expires I want to just convert it to a GC, but if they might stop you from being able to do that, I may just do it now.

You should have stayed home & told your boss you thought them saying you had to work today was an April Fools joke. Stick Out Tongue

That's too funny about your BM. laugh out loud I'm glad you got your dresses ordered.

The only joke I've seen today was on the Disboards (Disney). There was a blog entry about concerned parents in Cali & FL suing the Disney parks, because the characters traumatize their kids. They wanted to ban characters altogether. The sad thing is I could totally see that happening. shake head

I also ordered this one http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...=WV-272089 in purple paisley. They didn't have it in my size yesterday, & it's gone again. I must have gotten one of the last ones. It cost more than the leopard print, but I love purple so I ordered it. I also want this one http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...earch=true in white floral, because it's different. There's a couple more I want, but I'm going to try to resist. I don't like the ones I ordered as good as the others I want, but I love clearance prices. Embarrassment

Congrats on the big wins on the FB promo! Missed it this morning but I'll be ready tomorrow. : bounce: Hope everyone win big this time!
Based on the email alerts from the VS thread, it looks like a lot of people got $100s today. I hope they didn't give them all out.

Quote from Stardust42 :
I ended up just placing 1 order last night. Cheaped out cause I didn't want to pay shipping. I hope they do fs with no minimum soon like in the last SRC season. : nod:
If you want more SRC's, place your orders now. It's VS, there's always more stuff to buy! ; )
I'm hoping for FS with no minimum too. Do they always give SRCs out for the first few days of the month? I hope we all get one in our orders we placed today. bounce

Quote from Stardust42 :
One of the stores allowed 1 SRC per item last time. : nod: I bought a bunch of $3 mints so I could use the overage for a bra. : lol:
They gave you the difference back? I didn't know they would do that. Good for you. woot

Quote from Stardust42 :
VS doesn't have codes for sleepwear too often. They sometimes do GWP or 20% off, but it's usually around Christmas.
Thanks. I'd love 20% off. Maybe, I'll send my DH to the mall with the $10 SRCs & see what he comes back with. Wink

Do the unlined bras allow show through? I asked a few days ago, but didn't get a reply. I agree there is some really pretty ones. If they prevent show through, I'm going to try one.

i know. dbf told me to say that too! laugh out loud

i was ready to tell my BM that she's crazy and doesn't know how to take her own measurements. laugh out loud glad she didn't try to go on with the joke too long! the sizing thing was a big pain, bc she's international and it'd be difficult to get her to try stuff on and also to get alterations. their size chart is also misleading - i.e. going by my measurements i woulda gone with a 6 for myself, but i went to my store and tried on a 4 and it fit me. (the bust was a bit loose actually) i swear, they do that so that you'll pay more for alterations. shake head

and about disney - honestly, a lot of their characters DO scare children! i went to a 1st birthday party once at disneyland (in one of the hotels i think). it was a lilo & stitch themed party. when stitch came by, the birthday girl cried kuz he was scary! laugh out loud

actually i think the only character that didn't scare her was pluto, prob kuz they have a dog.

oh and can i just say - i am so proud of myself for getting the store to pricematch bm dress prices online! woot i saved myself another $50 by doing that. plus, no tax for paying cash - i love chinese places sometimes! laugh out loud

What do they do, if we return items bought with an SRC? Believe it or not, I've never returned anything bought with one. I guess I've been lucky.

We didn't take our DS to Disney until he was 4. A lot of little kids are scared of the characters, especially the non-face characters.

Great deal on the dresses. High Five

Thanks for the info. I still have a Netflix free trial, gonna check it out.

It does say no valid on gift card on the back, and people get flag for trying to convert SRC to egc online.

Yup, someone even said she won a $500 on another couponing site. Faint I hope one of the regulars here will get that lucky!

Yup, VS always put SRCs in for the first few days. I think last time, they extend it to the first week or so. But it's no guarantee though, if you don't get one, you can't really ask CS to send you one.

Quote from GoHeels :

Oh no, I meant they apply the rest of the balance on the SRC to the other items in my purchase, kind of like coupon overage. So I bought 5 $3 mints and 1 $55 bra, totaling $70. Used 6 $10 SRCs (1 SRC per item) and paid $10 oop.

Although some people did mention they got cash back last time. They bought panties around $8-9 and got a few cents back in cash. I think it only happened because the balance on the SRC was so small after the purchase, and it's definitely YMMV.

Quote from GoHeels :

He might come back with a +2 cup size bra!! Roll

Yup, unlined means no lining in the cup. Usually it's just a layer of really thin fabric or lace. So unless you're wearing thick/loose clothing, your nipples are going to show through.

If you return a purchase paid for with an src it comes back as a check if the entire amount was paid by the src. If any went on a cc the src amount goes back to the cc.

I hope so. I placed 2 orders today, & used my $100 & $50 SRCs. Now I have to figure out how to use all the $10s. Come on FS with any purchase.

That was still a good deal. Smart purchase. nod

Quote from Stardust42 :

He'd be more likely to come back with the unlined bra. Teehee Liggie said a lot of the lingerie was on sale in store. I'm thinking he may use an SRC, then pay the overage for lingerie. Wink That way he's spending the money instead of me. Evil

That's what I was afraid of. I guess I'll pass. There is some really cute ones though.

They usually do in my experience, plus the shaping is not as flattering under clothing, so I almost never order them unless they're just to wear to bed.

I am obsessed with the Gold's Gym cardio boxing game Woot There was one yoga video on Netflix that was insanely difficult compared to the other yoga I was doing at the time. I didn't like the way my body looked after doing yoga for a few months though so I stopped.
