Need to spend £35 in M&S, what shall I buy?

[ledlights]

Took some clothes to Oxfam this morning and got one of those M&S £5 off vouchers if you spend £35 or more. Always a sucker for this type of thing, I desperately want to use the voucher. What would you buy?

Don't fall for it! Just keep the voucher safe until it expires

If you're happy to go £10 over, I highly recommend these: www.marksandspencer.com/Autograph-Leather-Almond-Court-Shoes/dp/B0033ZW2LE?ie=UTF8&ref=sr_1_2&nodeId=42966030&sr=1-2&qid=1346924538&pf_rd_r=15ESYT2F1XDPE7PEEW1Q&pf_rd_m=A2BO0OYVBKIQJM&pf_rd_t=301&pf_rd_i=0&pf_rd_p=321381407&pf_rd_s=center-3

They are very comfortable and I have had lots of compliments since I bought them! I currently have the nude (which is more of a light tan and goes with everything), but I really want the black as well for winter.

Love the shoes but out of stock in my size! Booo. Any other ideas? Happy to go over £35 but need to use voucher before end of September.

I'm getting those shoes for a wedding next summer, can't get over how alike they are to some of the styles in LK Bennett, but at a quarter of the price.

Have you seen the Rosie Huntingdon-Whitely lingerie range? Some of that stuff is gorgeous.

I got that voucher from Oxfam, but did not spend it.

I still have some more M and S stuff for Oxfam. The lesson I have learnt is:
Wait until you want to spend £35 there and then pop to Oxfam before...Or that's my plan.

No help at all sorry!

Ha ha, I have just done an online order for £34.50

I bought this scarf for my mum for her birthday, I have one the same, but in a slightly different colour, it is enormous and very gorgeous.

And two pairs of these in burgudy and black as my local M&S doesn't have them in stock.

Out of interest what do you have to give to Oxfam to get the voucher?

Can you spend the money on food? Lots of fabulous goodies in the foodhall.

at the moment I would buy baby clothes (but may not suit you ) or alternatively a few pairs of their thermal tights (100+ denier) for winter which I've just seen recommended on another S&B thread.

Have you seen the new shape denim ? It's supposed to be very good .

I second spending it on food!

I bought a ltd collection black sparkly top. Sheer back

On the food front, I would buy a tub of flapjacks, a tub of mini chocolate rolls and several packs of white submarine bread rolls. The onion bajhis are an absolute must have. The Italian ready meals are quick and tasty. The cheese and tomato party pizza is bloody delicious

There are some fantastic high heeled Autograph slate blue suede shoe boots with zips down the side which I slavered over in M&S this lunchtime. I was tempted to post asking you lot to stage an emergency intervention and talk me out of it (I have nothing in my wardrobe I could possibly wear them with), but I restrained myself because obviously what you'd actually have done is link me to 300 quid's worth of Autumn wardrobe to wear them with.

I can't link from phone, (or indeed find them on the mobile website) but maybe someone else can find them? (and preferably tell me firmly that they're hideous)

Wine and food

Ah, I found them, but they're 69 quid, not the 49 quid I remembered them as. So no good for you OP. Do you not have DCs who'll need new dressing gowns and slippers? Or just get underwear and . I like their costume jewellery actually.

Here, can someone please take a look at them and slag them off for me.

You could get some vests ready for winter. M and S do long sleeved ones whichate great when it's really cold.

Don't buy this top. I got it yesterday thinking it would be a nice going out top. When I got home and tried it on it looked awful! That will teach me to buy things without trying them on first!

The skinny jeans and jeggings are fab!

tights, their tights are fab!

ultimate knickers, they are as good looking as hold in pants can be because they're kinda retroey

Can you spend them online? M and S online ( and in some branches in their new beauty halls)sell brands line Nuxe etc!

dilys, love the boots! Sorry, no help!!

Cashmere. I bought an M&S black cashmere cardigan about 4 years ago. I'm a lawyer (dull wardrobe!) and in winter I wear the cardigan at least twice a week. It goes through the delicate wash setting on my machine.

No joke, it looks brand new. I paid about £50 but it was so worth it. Contemplating a grey one this year.
