What do the m&s codes offer please

Not sure if anyone has mentioned there's an up to 65% sale on the ebay Joules store... seems to have quite a lot in it...
www.ebaystores.co.uk/Joules-official

eastmids yes on rrp they are a good deal that's true, but the surprise bags were reduced from the usual price of over £100, and judging by the contents other have had I was disappointed. I'd only have chosen one of the tops. But you're right, I'll stop moaning These threads have just raised my threshold for what feels like a bargain!

busyb.co.uk/large-pouch.html
Hope that works? There was an extra 15% off but cant remember code. Maybe someone else can help and knows if it's still valid. Bargain either way 👍🏻

@moobar which store is having the rugby clearance please? I have a rugby mad son who would love some extra rugby stuff! Cheers

SkintSanta Ha! Is one of the aunts a CF? I saw that on the Dr B site and thought of MN

Thanks so much @DarkHumour ! I have used the fourth code.

@Jammiebammie I agree that ASOS customer service is known sadly for being pretty poor. Friends advised paying via PayPal. You can then open a dispute on line with them. They refund your money and pull it back from ASOS. Much less stressful.

@wibdib it's called rugby clearance. Rugby clearance.co.uk

Twenty percent is off sale prices, I use them a lot for nephews.

We got a velvetiser from Aldi last year for £20 - it’s brilliant. Worth looking out for this year.

@WatchoutfortheROUS

I'm really disappointed with my Smafolk bag too. Three babygrows in the exact same print, two brown, one grey, muslin cloth, grey and black tiny towel. Pair of thin black (?!) leggings.

Newborn, unisex pack? Very dreary, who puts a newborn in black brown and grey with tight black leggings? Certainly not worth the £37. Feels like a rip off. Nothing like on the scale of what a PP posted they had received.

Ah well, you live and learn...

@coldilox Manalan are doing shark tails and there was 15%off floating around.
I got their crocodile tail and it is super soft.

@Jammiebammie, the lilac one is still up there, I think. This was a very pale lavender with pansy type flowers across it. Very much my taste but possibly not everyone's so you could comfort yourself with the notion that it was a bit too funky grandma-ish for dd.

For some reason, it hasn't tracked at the full 10% for me (may have used an old email address) but there is 10% cashback for new customers at Urban Outfitters right now if you go through TopCashBack. Not a mindblowing bargain but could take the sting off paying full whack?

Oh @WatchoutfortheROUS and @Courtney555 I have one in basket and have been meaning to sort. Think I will leave it now if stopped being as good, that's a shame, thank you.

@lancslass17 sorry someone else Pmed me earlier and used it

My smafolk bag arrived and I’m really impressed! 3 long sleeve tops (one is Christmas print) pair of thick printed jogging bottoms, pants and vest set- all quite blue and grey which I don’t usually choose but nice all the same. Smafolk tops are about 23 quid each at rrp, so I don’t think that’s a bad deal at all for £35 delivered. Contemplating another for my niece tbh..

There is a Facebook group for sale or swapping the bag contents, too.

@WatchoutfortheROUS the towels are usually around 30£ so combined with the tops i think you got the recommended value. Dd1 also got a towel last time, perhaps the shape is different than UK sizes? Cause the size to me looked quite normal?

Thank you @DarkHumour for the M&S codes!

Can't remember who was after Ryan's World stuff, but this is in B&M.

@SkintSanta, where are your lovely lidded baskets from?

Thanks @IDontDrinkTea, ordered a shepherds outfit on the off chance DS2 gets a role like that in this years nativity
watch him be a donkey or something now

@Courtney555 i would try talking with the., that sounds like an mistake. They are usually really good at correcting any mistakes

Ah. I get it now @moobar - I was thinking it was something like a rugby clearance at sports direct!

I’m off to investigate now - ds has had a growth spurt so needs more stuff to wear!

For the people with the loooong towels - could they be hair towels? I know I have had them in the past and they seem to be longer and narrower than usual...

Disney code that needs to be used before the end of October, can't be used on sale items.
