Sparks...claim your free treat. Guess what it is!

It's not a treat.

My mini stocking Christmas lights are still out of stock at my local M&S. So, thus far I've had the chance to enjoy a small amount of money off random things I don't want. That's not a treat, that's an M&S Christmas treat.

Will we be cheesed off with today's offering?

15% off stilton

50% off shortbread IN the cafe and IF you buy a hot drink

15% off flowers or plants - which I have never, ever bought from Marks.

And if they're trying to tempt me to try, 15% is not going to cut it!

£1 off a the Swiss truffle light up tin. No idea what the thing costs but unless it's £1 I won't bother.

Some poor offers today.

Ah, now I got 20% but I do send flowers reasonably often through M&S...

£1 off a Swiss Mountain Truffle Light Up Tin!

20% off women's socks/tights. Off men's socks would actually be useful, but oh no...

Are you a woman?

15 per cent off cheddar.

Hard cheese, fellow shoppers.

20% off jeans and jeggings. Best so far since day 1 percy pigs although what I really need is leggings, trousers and underwear!

That's a good one

I will actually use that one. Hoo-bloody-ra

And now I'm getting a repeated "something went wrong" when trying to checkout. Tedious bloody M&S

20% off jaeger- not one I’ll be using!

20% off nightwear. Tights would have been useful, as I'd planned to stock up.

20% off women knitwear. I will have a check on Saturday when I buy DH's pyjamas (and will get a discount the day after most likely).

Yes, but have only ever bought socks for DH and DS from there!

Time to treat yourself

I stopped buying socks from M&S for me and DD since they changed the sizes to 3-5 and 6-8 for women socks.

We are both a shoe size 5-6 depending on brand and style and 3-5 is too small and 6-8 is too big.

All other retailer still do size 4-7, much more the norm for the average female.

20% off women’s dressing gowns. Terribly specific.

4-7 is a ridiculous size. 3-5 and 6-8 much more inclusive

Why? If the U.K. average is 5 or 6?

I’m a truly average 5.5, so your smaller size would be tight, but the bigger size probably too big.

Today I got 15% off Autograph.
Apparently, this includes mens and women's.
I am not excited by this.

However, I did pop in and get my tin of shortbread (£1 off) as I'll use it as an additional pressie and my free coins.
Still hoping for some free booze, like...
