I have £80 to spend in M&S

I was given some clothes and a handbag for Christmas but the clothes didn't fit and the handbag was ghastly not to my taste so I had to return them. I had no idea they would total £80 Shock but that's what I now have as a credit note. Other than knickers and the odd bag of Percy Pigs I can't think of anything that I have bought from there.

What do you think is worth buying in M&S?

FYI: I am 29 years old.

I was so suprised that I checked online, and yes indeed M&S have precisely zero bras in a 28 inch back. John Lewis have a small selection, even Debenhams and House of Fraser have a few but M&S have absolutely none.

Annoying, because otherwise it would be quite fun to completely update your underwear drawer so that every day is a posh lingerie day.

Indigo are a good bet for skinnies. I have some lovely cords from that range - they even cover my bum.

I like their jammies when I can find cotton ones. And their multipack knickers and socks are decent.

Stila make up or perfume. They do the odd good scarf too.

I'd definitely spend it in their beauty hall.

Cashmere jumper in the sale?
I agree that their five pocket jeggings are good but you must try them on - they vary a lot between colours and sizes.
Prosecco is lovely.
Roseie silk knickers.
New dressing gown?
They do some nice beauty stuff now too.

I'd buy a huge supply of knickers, autograph tights and l'occitaine hand cream, possibly some pyjamas.

(I don't rate the stay new leggings, bit seethroughy)

OR

I'd mentally allocate the vouchers for summer school uniform, and spend the uniform money on nice things in House of Fraser

I do know how to spell really. :) Apologies.

These are nice, if you happen to need work shoes.

I popped in yesterday and got a gorgeous cashmere jumper for £43.. bargain! They come up really small so I sized up by 2 sizes and it fits perfectly.. lots of large sizes left..

ice blue was also nice & the lemon - fab colours with jeans..

I bought a cashmere jumper in the sale and got a 10. I thought it came up quite big! Mine was this one and it's gone down in price since I bought it, annoyingly. It's lovely though. It says it's brown but it isn't; it's actually a mauve colour.

I have some cashmere wrist warmers from a couple of years ago and they have been amazing. Highly recommend them, if they still do them.
