I bought an M+S beauty bag out of sympathy for them...well sort of.

I do like a bargain and I also like shopping, so not saying there was nothing in the act for me.

Last time I went to MnS, I was looking for skinny fit grey school trousers for DS. And they only had regular fit.

I considered buying them but most of DS trousers fall down anyhow when he runs, and it makes him show off in the playground to other boys.

So I didn't.

Im really impressed with that update. Thank you.

I aim to please 😂

I almost went to M&S today too. Couldn’t be arsed in the end.

Thoughts and prayers, OP

Did you make that username up just for that post?

If so I absolutely salute you.

Men try on clothes?!?! Since when?!?!

I love M&S. They put chairs outside the changing room for bored men to sit on. My dad once fell asleep whilst waiting for my mum to try on things. 😂

@soupyspoon was that their summer beauty bag you got?!? I got their Christmas one and it was amazing! I'm always really impressed with them! Will have to go get one too!

Only unreasonable if you do a full unboxing video on Instagram. Other than that 🤷‍♀️
I can’t be arsed to go to an actual branch of M&S and buy things. So waiting for the online orders to work again. Then I’ll think about buying the beauty box…..but won’t get around to it.

I have no idea what this chat is all about but I enjoy the way you have with words, you sound like a fun person! 😊

Bag I mean not box. Somehow box makes it seem more exciting.

I got a Connie Caterpillar cake on my Ocado order. Does that count? Never had a Connie before, only a Colin.

Yes its definitely a bag and it has quite a nice rubber handle on it so you can swing it about if you wish. Its a small loop.

Who is she?

I mean, who is she?

Ooh I like an M&S beauty box.

The cynical side of me is wondering if you’re an M&S marketer… But I love a wholesome thread so I’m here for it 🫶

I tried the M&S chocolate covered custard creams the other day. So good.

Do you find that reading a Yotam Ottolenghi recipe exhausts you before even going to the kitchen to attempt to cook it. That is if you even have the 100 ingredients….

or maybe it’s just me 🤣

Oh no. Dont want to be misrepresented. I normally shop in Aldi

I just actually needed some bras and you cant order them so I didnt know what was in stock so I had to physically go in and then of course the bag was there, right at the top of the escalator.

Feeling peeved that MN has taken away the laughing reaction, I would have used it here.

I usually get one but don’t live near a store which is frustrating.

Wait, if you unbox something but it's in a bag, is that a debagging?

Why have they done that? There’s nothing so boosting to one’s ego as strangers thinking you are funny!

My DSIL has her birthday in June and I buy her the beauty box every year as her present. She tells me she likes it but I was thinking I should mix it up this year. You have just made me change my mind.

Try her with some preserved lemons...
OK, maybe not. 😂

I know and even if I say so myself I am quite comical. Particularly when Im not trying to be.

I used to have quite a lot of them

I once preserved my own lemons. They are possibly still on the stairs.

I tried to do some shopping in the coop to show solidarity but they were out of stock of most things I like, except Star bars, so I bought 5 packs of them.
