To have paid this?

[QueenOfMyWorld]

Gah was v tipsy last night,hubby working away and I find it hard to sleep when alone without a couple of wines.Anyway,I've only gone and ordered a prawn platter and a smoked salmon/prawn platter from M&S Christmas costing £55! There will only be 3 of us 🙈 please tell me it's the food from the gods and I won't regret it on the day I collect

Excellent drunk purchase OP 😂 I’ve never had it but it sounds tasty!

Oh god,it's usually clothes not bloomin prawns!

It’ll be good.

Well worth a fiver.

Well, at least you only ordered one.

Could be worse. Could’ve been that £700 Christmas table centre bollocks someone posted on another thread

waxy1 argh no I hope not,one feeds 6 people the other 8 though.Im an Aldi girl normally.

Ooh - link please? Sounds lovely! And if you’ve paid now the money will be long gone and basically forgotten by Christmas so you can just enjoy the yummy food.

Do you get a cooling off period? I appreciate you can’t cancel a standard supermarket delivery after the deadline but there’s still ages until Christmas so you might be able to cancel??

My MIL brings one of these to ours every year and I can confirm that they are utterly delicious-my favourite part of Christmas dinner! Mmmmmm, great tipsy purchase.

Can you cancel? They must be quite big for that price as they do one in the shop for £15 (the online food is usually the same as you can get in the shop without the outer cardboard sleeves but works out more expensive - if you only want small to medium quantities, it;s cheaper just to go buy in store and no need to join the massive collection queue) that would serve 2-3 with some bread and salad and they're quite short dated.

Unless you want to be living on seafood for 2-3 days, or can freeze some, it'll end up getting wasted.

They are lovely though, but I usually make something similar for less by buying bits separately.

Haha now that is one great drunk purchase!

Personally I would cancel it and claim wine did it. I'm sure it won't be the first time M&S customer services have heard that! You can get one just as nice from Aldi for a hell of a lot less!

That sounds amazing! My last drunk purchase was two packets of sewing pins...

I've paid 30,the rest to be paid on the 23rd when I collect.Dh loves prawns and seafood so he definitely won't be complaining! Haven't got link but it's on their Christmas food to order page.hth

Yum yum yum

I nearly bought sliced cold meat too so I feel fairly frugal!

It's a lot of money, but it's a great drunk-buy. I'd just accept that this will be your xmas treat to all three of you, and enjoy it!

(Please feel free to invite me round if you think it's too much for you - always here to help....)

Invite the neighbours over to finish off the platter if it's too much.

Otherwise, prawns are also good cold and the next day, in sandwiches, cocktails, pizza, fish soup or stew, paella, etc, etc.

More seriously, I'm sure you can cancel the order... if you really wanted to...

Ah - lovely. Have found the Christmas food page by googling (weirdly no tab for it on the main site on my phone). Tbh, it could have been a lot worse. This looks amazing, for example...
christmasfood.marksandspencer.com/luxury-seafood-platter/p/p60054756

I think my Christmas won't be complete without one of these now.

Given there's only three of you and it won't exactly last long in the fridge, I'd cancel the prawn platter and keep the salmon and prawn platter.

The neighbours won't be getting any I'm sure it'll keep for a couple of days. I suppose I should be grateful I didn't order the one on pp link! That looks to die for

Will you eat TWO platters OP? Maybe cancel the prawn one? Sounds lovely though, I'm going to have a look myself now

The £30 deposit is non-refundable so looks like you're stuck with them

I ordered the same thing last year. I was very disappointed to be honest, I wouldn’t bother again. Overpriced for what it was.

Yes, looking at the weights, I suspect it is a lot smaller than the pictures suggest.
