    My sister & I used to make it an annual event until I had babies!

    We would go at about 10pm and come home around 1-2am I think. It was always really busy when we first got there and would quieten down around the time we left. We just did it cos it was fun and we could!

    But having said that, I am the type to do things like that, the kmart near my parents house used to be open 24 hrs so we'd just go there at midnight if we were bored!

    We were out till midnight last night. And often we do the 2 am thing just to be able to get out of the house at that hour. Crazy but FUN! It's never really packed, too many people like the hustle bustle of the daytime shop, or can't get out at night, or work etc. I'm done this year. So if we do go out at 2 am it will be purely for fun!

    the year before I had DD I went about 1. came home about 4.

    DH was on night shift, I couldn't sleep, and it happened to co-incide with the 24 opening times. It was nice. Not like battling them through the day.

    I've been a couple of times on my days off, but I have been to PLENTY of brawls/stabbings when there is 24 hour shopping....so there are plenty of people out there.

    I'm heading out tonight after the kids are in bed so I'll be leaving home about 8.30 - 9. I've done it before and it is great! Nowhere near the crowds like daytime, no fighting to the death for carparks plus I don't have to drag the kids around with me. It's so silly but I love heading out in the quieter times makes it so much more relaxing and I don't have to race around like an idiot to get as much as I can done before the kids get tired. I'm finishing up Christmas presents and doing my grocery shop. I'm expecting to be out for a few hours.

    DH & I went out shopping at our local 24hr Kmart at midnight. There were actually quite a few people in there too. It was brilliant and I will be doing it again tomorrow night, only I will be doing it by myself.
