... giving me a 60p off voucher for handwash.

What are your most depressing examples of dreary unfestive festive marketing?

That's made me laugh this morning.

Therefore Tesco have gifted me a smile via you.

60p is loads tho if you can get a discount off a bottle of Carex or Palmolive. Report back!

Merry Christmas 😁

I had a leaflet through the door from one of those companies where you can prepay for your funeral and headstone, with money off for the holiday season Confused

I got a £5 voucher for M&S from the Postcode Lottery the other day. I didn't think that was too shabby but I was a bit disappointed because I thought it was going to be a cheque for ££££££s because I'd won!

Ooh, practical!

Do they offer money off a new patio as well? Asking for a friend.

I once went to a chiropractor for tennis elbow and now every year on my birthday I get a “happy birthday from your chiropractic team” which does not make me feel any less middle aged.

GoodOldEmmaNess · 30/11/2023 09:59

I think the funeral package and the tennis elbow trump my handwash for festive drear.😂😂

I have a friend who works for a Funeral Director. They aren’t allowed leave in December or January because it’s the busy time of year.
Merry Christmas.

Tesco can stuff their mince pies where the sun don't shine!

I went to midnight mass a couple of years back to support my mum after dad died. They had Christmas trees throughout the church, decorated by local businesses who I assume saw free advertising.

The one in front of us was from the funeral parlour we'd just used. It had business cards for baubles.

I'm laughing thinking about it now, thirteenth years later 🤣

Perfect for the holiday suicide surge!

Bloody Hell! Don't know whether to laugh or cry at some of these!
