Continuing on from Thread One, which may run out this evening.

Good Luck, everyone for the last day, tomorrow. Hope your wildest dreams come true! (Or at least some free Colin the Caterpillar bits, anyway)

Free bag of M&S Chocolate Coins here
And entry t a prize draw as I opened every door .

Not even a whiff of a Gary Barlow Concert Xmas Hmm

Well I've got nothing at all out of the 12 Days. Today I went to what I thought was an M&S foodhall only to overhear a staff member telling someone no, it's not a real M&S, it's a franchise - ??? And the self-service till (all they had) didn't ask for my Sparks card/app at the end of putting the goods through.

Note to M&S: you can get back in my good books by letting me win the £10,000 prize. Easy, eh?

Went to my local store last night. Bought cheese and nuts using my discount. Saved 4.50 so that plus a free handcream is all I got. Oh forgot my discount on a couple of boxes of biscuits. Didn't get my Emma Bridgewater poinsettia though. The two dead ones are gone and the ordinary one didn't look too healthy either. Do they nor water their plants? They did have Emma Bridgewater bulbs in a pot but I suppose they wouldn't be considered Christmasy to be a prize.

Oh that drives me mad. Costa are the same. You get all the blather and spam about free this, that and moons on sticks, only to be told at the service station that you can't claim your free cherry and almond slice because it's not a proper Costa (or whatever). How are we meant to know the business model they work under? Well, clearly a lot of people don't, because more than once I've seen a hastily scribbled sign at the checkout telling customers they can't claim their free moon on a stick there.

Show quote history

Now I want the moon on a stick. <stamps foot>

I ran out of time to claim my free chocolate coins, as DD has been unwell, so I got fuck all in the end.

I checked the app this morning and I have a free bottle of light up liqueur. I’m assuming that’s my prize from the draw. The £10,000 would have been nice, but I’m pretty excited to have won anything!

SleepPerChanceToDream · 15/12/2023 06:44

I was just about to post the same - free bottle of light-up liqueur showing in my Sparks app. Haven't had an email to say I've won, but assuming it must be that, unless they are trying to make amends for this years calendar! Grin

OneFrenchEgg · 15/12/2023 06:47

I'm not sure they said they were emailing the winners? My app still says this. I have 20% off three theatre shows , none of which I want to see

SleepPerChanceToDream · 15/12/2023 06:50

I thought I read somewhere that they would email winners by the 16th December, but I may be wrong. I've had the theatre discounts showing in Sparks for a couple of days so think that might be a general offer?

FernArable · 15/12/2023 06:57

I have 15% off the snowman tickets as well as the liqueur. No email yet but I wonder if they’re just sending mass emails at some point when everything has been drawn.

NigelHarmansNewWife · 15/12/2023 07:01

@SleepPerChanceToDream - you're right. The email about the draw states the winner will be notified on 16th.

Theraffarian · 15/12/2023 07:12

Ooooh so glad I checked this thread before I went to work , I’ve got a free light up liqueur bottle too , crossing fingers the rum will be sitting waiting for me on the shelf this morning 😀

OMG I also have the free light up liquer. I'm going to go this morning as I have things to get for our school Christmas fair today anyway.

Hurrah! Am not a Sparks pariah after all!

ExpensiveDecorations · 15/12/2023 07:28

I've got the liqueur too!

Roundaboot · 15/12/2023 07:34

Liqueur here too! That's a lovely surprise! Hope they have some left when I go tomorrow

Talisin · 15/12/2023 07:40

I didn’t get booze, light up or otherwise sulks

APurpleSquirrel · 15/12/2023 07:42

I have the free liqueur too! I can pop by and M&S Food today too, so fingers crossed.

User2856948 · 15/12/2023 07:43

I also got the liqueur, I checked my Sparks this morning as I am going in there this morning and got a nice surprise, I don't know which one to get, if there is a choice left.

SleepPerChanceToDream · 15/12/2023 08:30

Just picked up my free rum and free houmous. Also used the 10% off flowers and 20% off frozen food, so quite happy with all of that Smile Lots of all the different types of liqueur in my M&S - hope you all manage to get yours too!

The offer is only on Very Berry Vodka Liquer, Stollen Rum Liquer & Marmalade Gin Liquer - I'm hoping to get the Marmalade Gin one.

OchonAgusOchonOh · 15/12/2023 08:45

Bah, humbug. A year's membership of wander holiday club but no liqueur.

BaconAndAvocado · 15/12/2023 08:54

The Percy Pig tin train.....what’s inside it please?

psuedocream3 · 15/12/2023 08:54

Good to see some winners. Nothing for me, last year I didn't win a prize either. Might be time to cancel my M&S credit card!

Pink chocolate coins - it's priced at £5 so not too bad.
