I agree, M&S is quite expensive. But I do like the dine in for £10 I usually go for a bottle of wine, steak & dauphinoise potato's - it makes me feel posh lol.

mumto2under8 · 27/03/2018 00:05

I forgot to say that deal does include pudding, so I am partial to a bit of chocolate so I'd say chocolate cake all the way lol

Potatopotatoe · 27/03/2018 00:05

@BlueSapp that seems like an overreaction

Hwjones · 27/03/2018 00:06

@bluesapp that is a shame. I’m quite fond of marks and sparks

mumto2under8 · 27/03/2018 00:06

@Potatopotatoe I see your off again. If @BlueSapp doesn't shop in M&S that's fine - it's their choice.

BlueSapp · 27/03/2018 00:07

I’ve no problem with people getting stuff for free just don’t try and take people for mugs that you’ve organised an early family Easter so you can plug the food you know

Potatopotatoe · 27/03/2018 00:09

@BlueSapp What do you do for a living?

mumto2under8 · 27/03/2018 00:09

@Potatopotatoe what's their living got to do with it? Don't judge where they choose to shop

BlueSapp · 27/03/2018 00:10

How’s that relevant? It’s a proper job though

msdoolally · 27/03/2018 00:10

My friend is a 'brand enthusiast' on insta and I can't bear it. Constant pics 'get this with 15% off if u mention my child' #lovemyboys.
She just gets free stuff and the kids are getting pestered to take pics constantly whilst wearing the clothes. Makes me a bit sad.

mumto2under8 · 27/03/2018 00:10

I'm going to be open & honest. I had to pay more towards my very account this month so had to go to a shelter for food. Does that mean you'll judge me too??

Kimmumof3 · 27/03/2018 00:10

@BlueSapp Aside from moan about Instagram

BlueSapp · 27/03/2018 00:13

Who works at 10 past midnight..... the thread is for moaning it’s why your all here so....

Potatopotatoe · 27/03/2018 00:13

@kimmumof3 stop getting involved, I was genuinely asking

Mamaj2017 · 27/03/2018 00:13

Ragdollcatsworld is another good one

Mamaj2017 · 27/03/2018 00:14

I'm also at work :)

Hwjones · 27/03/2018 00:14

@mumto2under8 I’m sorry to hear that - these store cards and credit accounts are the real bad guys in this world. You get lulled in to a false sense of security paying for items you simply cannot afford. PM me if you need to talk xx

Mumofkids · 27/03/2018 00:26

@mum2tounder8 sorry to hear that. Those accounts are evil, but never go without food. Go to citizens advice and get help. You could get your debts frozen, get an Iva or debt management plan. In life, your kids and food are more important. There's no shame in getting help sorting it. Loads of people in the same boat or have been, these companies just dish out credit. I've only spent £70 on very and they've just texted to tell me they've increased my credit limit to £1500???!! Wtf. Evil.
Potatopotatoe loved my little family, best thing ever, they are so close now. Not everything is bad or a complaint.

Msdoolally is a brand enthusiast same as btand ambassador as noticed few babies are brand ambassadors for baby clothes like bloomers.

Also a few home style instagrammers and slimming world camp are always pushing it spices with discount codes off.

faceandpalm · 27/03/2018 06:21

@Fruitbowl2 The comments on here last night were ridiculous. Either the feed is being thrown off topic for PR purposes or users really are devaluing constructive discussion. No wonder Instamums and their followers think we’re a bunch of angry weirdos.

HolyMountain · 27/03/2018 06:22

Face very strange comments Hmm.

iow86 · 27/03/2018 06:36

I would probably recommend just getting Tesco ones if I'm honest, they seem to last longer! I've got them in both purple & pink

Kimmumof3 · 27/03/2018 06:57

Just did a bit of research and he is definitely 34

ISaidIWasTired · 27/03/2018 06:57

I call thread hijack.

IsThisAWindUp · 27/03/2018 07:14

Some bloggers with too much time on their hands I would guess by the hilarious banter.
