@theonlyoneiknow

My 8 year old is only ninjago also but have picked him up a lava lamp, emoji hatch egg - €4 tesco, quixels, 3d viewer thing he can use for my phone - €5 in pound shop. I am thinking of a very cheap drone/helicopter thing or science experiments.

Curiousgeorgey I've just bought 100 AA batteries for £14.99, they also have AAA. We get through so many and have used Maplin before and find they last a while.

Thank you . I used the first code and got 20% off a small tree 🌲 ( MIL needs a new one ) and also 3 for 2 on little gifts for her to give. She will be thrilled to save a bit .

margaritasbythesea · 16/11/2017 06:19

Can anyone tell me how big Lottie Dolls are?

FireflyGirl · 16/11/2017 06:35

They're 18cm margaritas - if you click on one of the dolls, it's in the description.

Nooooooo woke up and the item iv had in my m&s bags out of stock online cant believe it cursing myself for nodding off now was in stock late last night.
Anybody know what there stock refills are like online? Feeling super stressed wasnt even my shopping was stepdads gift to mum im in charge of his shopping to avoid last years hoover fail ahhhh gosh xx

OnlyGlowingSlightly · 16/11/2017 06:44

bicycle It's the play area which is down to £13.99 (still there) rather than the slides.

Oreocrumbs · 16/11/2017 06:46

Good morning. Has anyone tried to use the M&S codes sent on this thread?

I was very kindly sent one and it won’t accept it against my account. I’ve also tried the ones posted in a photo and it’s not letting me.

I wasn’t sent any vouchers in the post, and I think M&S have me down as not worthy for this promotion.

I hate the way the sparks thing works.

I was trying to buy a cashmere jumper. If they don’t want my business I’ll go to woolOvers. Grrrrr.

DubiousCredentials · 16/11/2017 06:56

Are the jumpers already on offer Oreo? There are a load of exclusions on the back of the voucher but it doesn’t state cashmere. Was the voucher from me? I’ll double check it if it was. How annoying for you.

SimplyNigella · 16/11/2017 07:02

Design and Drill down to lowest price ever according Camel Camel Camel

Betsy86 · 16/11/2017 07:04

Oreo crumbs
Im trying to use the codes also and not working for me the item i realllllllly need jus randomly showed in stock going to have to just order it full price cant risk missing it again.
Was also cashmere maybe thats not included then :( x

Oreocrumbs · 16/11/2017 07:11

It’s a full price cashmere jumper (£75) and a full price bottle of perfume (£14). It wasn’t from you Dubious, and I don’t think it’s the ‘fault’ of the lovely posters who have shared.

It’s the sparks programme. They left people out of the last lot of 20% off, and now they seem to be excluding people from using these friend vouchers. I think they have some sort of criteria or something as to who they let use a discount at any one time.

This really bugs me. I’m about to spend a chunk of money and I really will, on principle alone, spend possible more than their full price buying a cashmere jumper from somewhere else!

Betsy86 · 16/11/2017 07:14

I also dont want to place the order without code soooo infuriating but is the one item mum wants for xmas from sdad darn cant mess it up going to have to just go for it before lose stock again hate missin a deal!x

GingleBelle · 16/11/2017 07:23

The code that I was sent worked perfectly (thank you Princessib Flowers) and I am not a Sparks member, so I don't think it is because of the Sparks programme Confused.
My order was a big one (6 items) ranging from children's Xmas pyjamas to adult dresses and jumpers - although nothing cashmere....
If it helps at all I input the code all in capitals with no spaces but dashes after every 4 characters.
Fingers crossed for you.

Oreocrumbs · 16/11/2017 07:23

Betsy could you set up a new M&S account? Either knock up a new email or use your partners? I don’t know if it will work but might be worth a try.

If not being able to use the code is account linked, a brand new account might work.

Betsy86 · 16/11/2017 07:33

Iv failed at bargain hunting and paid full price Gin lol
Dad doesn’t care about the saving he just wants to get the gift right and no stock left near us so just went for it. Hope it arrives and dont get a out of stock email.
Thanks for your help though xxx

Reastie · 16/11/2017 07:35

Thanks for the help.

Coffee argh I missed 20% off the mug by going to bed early, how annoying! Good idea though

Jed - hadn't thought of tiger, excellent call

Carrotvan good shout about yellow moon, didn't realise it.

Pumpkin yes we can definitely differentiate between who will get what! Screwdriver looks good, thank you

Hi @asuwere sorry for the late response, but honestly I'm not sure! I just picked my four, copy and pasted the mention me link I was kindly given into a separate tab, added my email and it carried the code over to where I was checking out! Have just checked my PayPal and I've definitely only paid £16

DubiousCredentials · 16/11/2017 07:38

Here’s the small print for the M&S vouchers.

trixymalixy · 16/11/2017 07:40
