We were up early this morning as usual (the puppy doesn&#39;t have any concept of the phrase &#39;lie-in&#39;) and I decided it was a good opportunity to hit the sales. No, I don&#39;t mean rushing to the High Street to trudge my way at a snail&#39;s pace along behind thousands of other shoppers (this is not my idea of fun). I mean online.   <\/p>\r\n<p>  My absolute top tip for sale shopping &#8211; particularly in the current climate &#8211; is to only buy things you know to be useful, and hopefully believe to be beautiful. Some of the best sales are at <a href =\"http:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/partner\/MarksandSpencer.aspx?t=lwk\" target=\"_blank\">M&amp;S<\/a> , <a href =\"http:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/partner\/Mothercare.aspx?t=lwk\" target=\"_blank\">Mothercare<\/a> , <a href =\"http:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/partner\/JohnLewis.aspx?t=lwk\" target=\"_blank\">John Lewis<\/a> and <a href =\"http:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/partner\/LauraAshley.aspx?t=lwk\" target=\"_blank\">Laura Ashley<\/a>&#8211; they have up to 50% off -and <a href =\"http:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/partner\/Debenhams.aspx?t=lwk\" target=\"_blank\">Debenhams<\/a>&nbsp;have up to 70% off.
