Yeah Adidas site it back working, I have student discount so managed to get one pair of trainers for dp and trainers and a top for ds for £54! The trainers alone were supposed to be £65 so thanks to whoever posted originally

@sugarplumfairy2010 thank you so much for the TU dress up link some pages ago! I just picked up a handful of shepherds’ outfits for a £1 each (from £12) to donate to our school’s Christmas play/reception class. They’re going to be so chuffed.

My Adidas payment looks like it's going through them tells me my bag in empty. Tried about 15 times hope payments haven't gone through on my card

I have an M&S 20% off code for anyone who would like to use it.

Does anyone know if buyagift do better discounts on Black Friday than what they seem to offer throughout the year (23%)?

There's definitely been further buyagift discounts on occasion. Not sure if BF is one, but it's worth holding out, @Limitedsimba123.

@sugarplumfairy2010 I was told by m and s that a load more stock for out of stock items is coming back in at the end of October ( although obviously would miss any discount codes)

My local One Below shop had a 3 pack of Thomas mini trains for £1. They had different varieties, useful for stocking fillers or if someone wants to do an advent calendar

Complete non-bargain and quite expensive at £3 a biscuit... but these Christmas biscuits are just out-of-magazine-shoot perfect! For those hard to buy for people who have everything and need nothing, this may just be the sort of luxury gift that they’d appreciate. I’m dreaming of the Christmas decoration ones.

@JammieBammie, I found my Urban Outfitters delivery (deliveries) outside in my daughter's playroom this morning and they appear to have multiplied like Gremlins. Instead of two Crosley Cruisers, I have three. All were sent as separate orders.

If you think your daughter would accept a flowery lilac version, rather than plain, I would very much like to send you the unexpected third one. I have photographed it so you can decide if it would be suitable.

The flowers on the case turn out to be poppies (I think) and a few other wildflowers which I'm struggling to name (despite living in the countryside for the best part of a decade!) and the colour is a paler pastel but still undeniably lilac.

Please DM me your details, if it's a yes, I do hope so. I'm assuming this error is serendipity or the work of you know who[santa]

I have a few M&S codes if anyone still wants one.

bearbehind thank you so much for the M&S voucher! I used the code ending 7CKF and it made a massive difference to the final cost. Really appreciate it 😀

Hi @tentative3 - could you pm me one please?

Cheers

Thanks will have a look at asda. I've ordered the other stuff I wanted with discount do don't feel too bad if I have to pay full price x

Oh my goodness @CoffeeAndEnnui somebody fed them after midnight hehe. Dd would love that one, she’s actually got a throw on her bed which is almost identical!
Thank you so so much, I think mr you know who is looking out for us all! I’ll send you a pm later on and can pay you via PayPal.

@nocutsnobuttsnococonuts oh id love to buy swag from you pretty please!! I honestly haven’t been able to get it anywhere so this would be brill, thank you very much. I can pay via PayPal. I’ll send you a wee pm later on too.

@TellMeItsNotTrue thank you so much, I really hope you are feeling even a little better 💐

Aw I love this thread, and everyone in it! Feel so warm and fuzzy

Thanks @tentative3. Rainy afternoon means I may well spend longer than normal making the most of the discount. Very much appreciated.

I’ve just bought an obnoxiously large sausage dog soft toy from Asda for £25!

Probably not a bargain but it has made me laugh as we have nowhere to hide him. Luckily DS is only one so I’ve covered him with a sheet in the nursery. Fingers crossed he won’t wake up terrified of the giant dog ghost in the corner of his room!

That's a BIG dog. Is he a contender for this year's Robert?

bearbehind thank you so much for the M&S voucher! I used the code ending 7CKF and it made a massive difference to the final cost. Really appreciate it

No problem - here’s some more if anyone else needs them - they keep emailing them as well!

@Bearbehind appears to have @PaddingtonBearHardStare's share of codes! Bear, just how many Sparks points do you have?!?!

Lakeland have buy 1 get 1 half price on their confectionary and also sell individual hot chocolate bombs £3 (although not included in that offer)
Rather more amazingly though they also sell make your own gingerbread campervan!! Youngest dd is going to be thrilled - Christmas Eve activity sorted!

Are the based on how many points you have?

I thought they sent everyone 6 tickets with 2 codes per ticket! 😊

I’ve been sent 4 more by email too!

I don’t even buy much from M&S but I do batter their credit card! 😂

Not a clue. I got 2 by email and none by post with 11,000 points.

I reckon it's the CC!

That’s really odd - I wonder why they send different people different numbers of codes - it’s not like could use 17! (I’ve just found another one on my sparks account)

It's very bizarre. Especially when some people didn't get any!
