M&S Christmas food order 2015....

[Isitchristmasyet4]

I know its early but....
I really want to do my M&S order..It isn't available online yet so i went on the online chat to ask when it would be available and was told probably early Nov (!!!!) Thats so late for me! (Im crazy I know)
Hopefully its earlier than that...Maybe they were having a bit of fun at my expense for asking such a question haha!!
Anyways, what will you all be reordering this year? what was yummy and what not so much?
I remember the desserts going down well but not so much the buffet platters (sausage rolls etc) :)

Ordered fsmile for Christmas Eve 7.30-8.30 am. I've also got my Morrison slot booked (saver pass early slots). Organised means I get less anxious.

*Broke my smile!!

I have just been looking through and I have to say I am so disappointed with the pudding selection. It's awful this year, really poor.

Having bought from M&S for the last few years I might have to look elsewhere.

Can anyone confirm if I can pay the balance with vouchers when we collect... Thanks!

I don't see why not?

Why can't I see it???

finally sitting down to have a look, this better be good....

I have done M&S for the last three years but not this year. I've bought two veggie haggis, Linda McCartney veggie sausages, cranberry sauce, mini roasts, frozen roast veg, frozen mash, frozen Yorkshire puddings, stuffing is sorted I've bought nuts plus cranberries and will get a squash nearer the time, frozen pastry, I've frozen veg and bought gravy and the drinks.

I've even bought shortbread doggies for the kids.

I am still working on pudding.

I'm saving money and not cooking all the things my kids love, all I need now is bits and bobs for buffets on Christmas Eve and Boxing Day - I might buy veggie sushi.

I have crackers but I want the toast crackers but they are stupidly expensive.

I have to say the puddings are a real disappointment this year - choosing them is normally my favourite part.

I can only see party food? Help!

Thank you!

Website keeps crashing

Tough.

I'm just looking forward to shoving it all in the oven and taking all the credit!

I can't even get as far as finding my local store . The website either lets me put postcode in and then denies it exists or won't even get that far ! Grrr !

I had that trouble when I was just using the Google search on my iPad so I opened it in Safari and it worked.

Just rang M&S as can't get into site through Google or Safari . It won't let find a store.
They are having technical problems , no shit Sherlock ? , and are trying to fix it !

The website is truly bizarre. The site kept crashing for me yesterday (trying to open in both Safari on my phone and Internet Explorer on my laptops), whereas my DH had been able to access the site all day using Google Chrome with no problems!

LOL at the poster evoking the image of keeno MNers cuddled up to their M&S turkeys at night - probably whispering "my precioussssss" a la Gollum

Gave up and did my order in store and got my bottle of wine .

M and s e mailed me my code today for free wine. It came through as I was in m and s so went home with my free bottle. I do like a freebie [ssmile]

I got my code too hmm chocolates or wine...

I can't place an order. Have given up on the M&S idea, it will only be two of us for Christmas this year anyway!

Pahhhhh! You do not need M & S. especially as their website is shite

You DO need Booths.

It is a thing of beauty if you can pick up a printed copy. Otherwise you can view and order here

Surprisingly good value so you don't need a voucher for free wine.

Please Booths send me a free hamper for the shameless advertising! In my defence, Booths are amazing and well worth considering as an alternative to M&S and they do deliver nationwide for Christmas orders so its not just for northerners!

Oh did I mention the free delivery for orders over £50?

Serves M&S right for letting the MN Gollums down with their website. Evil cackle!
