M&S Sparks 12 Days of Christmas

[RainbowZebraWarrior]

Anyone fancy a Sparks 12 Days of Christmas thread?

I'm waiting up till midnight to see what my first offering is. There are the usual suspects on the advertising image (percy pigs, looks like a hand cream, wine etc) There are some canny prizes up for grabs by the looks of things, but there are sure to be some duds as well!

Here we go. I'll show you mine, you show me yours!!

Me too! I am so cheesed off with being disappointed by the JL out of stock advent offers that I was at M&S for Sunday doors opening - channelling my recently departed dad who used to be on the bus at ridiculous o’clock in the morning on Christmas Eve to collect our collective turkey.

It will most definitely be Gary Barlow, in person, dressed up in a Percy Pig onesie.

Oh god, no. I'm going to be opening that last door with my hands over my eyes, scared to look!

You won't need to open the door... he'll come bashing through it in his Percy onesie, a la Jack Nicholsons Shining!

... Here's Gary!!

Only the chocolate coins so far, which you'll be unsurprised to know I didn't go and get...I'd forgotten all about Gary Barlow 😂 I'm still convinced he played to an empty room.

Apart from the pallets of the stuff they had out the back...I bet they are told not to restock while the giveaway is on!

The actual space for it would have held about 10 bottles.

You know that bit on Crimewatch where they used to say "Don't have nightmares, do sleep well"... 😆

I think I might come and check the thread first to be on the safe side 🫣

I had the light up bauble day 1 - claimed 2 days ago as they had stock in with my secret Santa pick initial (I'm not being tight I have bought them a proper gift but am going to give them the light up bauble with it) and a pet y pig seeet thing which I haven't been in store to try and look for - if I get it will go in our shoebox gif.

As with day one, I'm going to open my last day just after midnight (mug that I am)

Final day's offerings to be shared and congratulated / commiserated on new thread...

As I'm still up...

It won't let me in!

Try again in another minute then come over to the new thread..

30% off a build your own Colin the Caterpillar biscuit kit

Well that's a letdown. Apart from anything else, I'm diabetic.😂

I've just said on the other thread that I'm scared ro look. I'm sure I've been getting shite because I've been opening too early.

You sound like a roulette player trying to work out a system to beat the casino.😂 Give it up, it's not worth it.

You're so right!!!

Probably not. Plants don't do very well with me so it wouldn't be very fair. A poinsettia just about lasts for the Christmas period. I got 2 very nice artifical ones in the sale last January so may make do with those. Though I will be checking before the offer ends. would have really much preferred the Prosecco

20% off coats for me, no more freebies, just 1 pastry. Though it was a lot better than John Lewis which was either item out of stock or enter a competition. I spent £60 in Boots today to get 1200 Advantage Points, it’s £10 Tuesday offers today at Boots too!

My first freebie after 11 days of ‘20% off shit I won’t actually buy’. And its a free pot of houmous.

Rubbish!

A pot of humous seems a bit random! I got 20% off coats. I had one freebie, the room spray, which I was happy with.

20% off coats here too, rubbish, my only freebie was florentines (which I am yet to collect).

I'd take the houmous!! 20% off coats here too.

My free gifts have been a tree decoration (not stocked at my local M&S) and a percy the pig chocolate train (you guessed it, not stocked at my local M&S)

Utter shit.

Meh.
