M&s beauty calendar

[Ivytheterrible]

So I want the fabled beauty calendar but I can't find anything to buy on the m&s website.

I need...
New ankle boots
A LBD
Dressy tops for evenings out.
But there is nothing I even want to try on!

I have 3 children aged 1-6 but can only find new socks for them.

What can I buy?

My lovely Mum got herself some granny jeans and the calendar for me. A great surprise as I couldn't justify buying it myself.
I am going to open it properly, one item a day.

What are granny jeans crusoe??

I got mine today, bought my ds a lovely robe and socks

I couldn't resist opening the first , will try and hold off and finish the Aldi calendar first as have 14 days left of that!

I ordered mine online on Thursday, perched on a seat in the departure lounge at Edinburgh airport - desperate not to miss it! Last year's was fabulous; barely a single duff product, and several have since become firm favourites. To make up my £35 I ordered a navy and gold shirt which I'd had my eye on, in two sizes, because I'm not sure how it will fit - so at least half the order will be going back!

I'm going to restrain myself and open one item each day during December.

I didn't buy it last year or this year but I'll be watching the thread vicariously living it through you all , (there will be an M&S Advent Thread , I trust...)

Marble Arch M&S had loads.

It's back in stock online, I've just bought my winter tights to make up the £35.

Well the stuff I ordered for DS has been despatched, but not my calendar!!!

Can anyone else who ordered it online tell me if they had a similar set up? I am worried it isn't coming now

I ordered mine this morning, to be delivered to store tomorrow as I have a food hall near where I work. I'll post if it arrives if you like?

happy I ordered mine to deliver to store - it all came on the same day but the calendar was packaged separately, I had to query as the first package they gave me clearly wasn't big enough to contain the calendar so they went back to the stock room and located it!

OK,maybe it comes from a different depot then. I will refrain from contacting the CEO for a few days longer

Mine has also not yet been sent - my other items have been (just had the email) but the calendar is saying as 'awaiting despatch'....

Mine was also in a separate box Bubbins. The store gave DH the other box but not the advent calendar. Within the hour they had phoned me apologising and offering to bring it to my house. DH was in town anyway so he went back. They gave him a bottle of wine as an apology. The boots I ordered are going back as they are too big, so the calendar and a really decent bottle of wine for £35 seems a pretty good deal to me....

I ordered mine on Wednesday for delivery to store on Thursday. It was not delivered. It has said 'dispatched on way' since Friday. I called M&S today - they called the courier who said they hadn't received it from M&S but M&S help didn't why or when they might send some (maybe Tuesday but this didn't seem based on much) so I decided to just cancel the lot as I was dithering over the cash anyway. So it seems there has been a hitch with at least some orders / depots.

I succumbed too in the end

I haven't had any email to confirm the calendar, going to ring again in the morning.

Had an email to say my parcel is on its way....with the clothes I ordered, not the calendar. No matter, as I won't be opening it yet.

Was at Bluewater today; the store is heaving with them.

I've had the email for the clothes I don't really need. No sign or mention of the calender.

I am still waiting for mine. The other stuff came very quickly. I bought Star Wars toiletries for DS's friends and some Pure over night oil and eye concentrate for me.

The calendar really helped me get through the festive season last year. Its a tricky time for me (and many others) but I really try hard to make it nice. Having a little present to open every morning was just delightful. My youngest two DSs loved helping me and finding out what everything was for.

I loved mine last year and DH needed some marks bits so I've ordered mine. Can't wait :) mind also seems to be coming separately but I work near a store and often buy lunch there so I'll keep an eye on stock just in case! I will be a bit disgruntled if they reduce them...

I'm the same, ordered 8am Thursday morning, said arriving Tuesday (much like a lot of people). Email this morning saying my order is on its way and will be here Tuesday but no mention of calendar! And now it's out of stock in my nearest store. Not really impressed!

I went to Manchester this weekend and the M&S store there literally has thousands of the calendars, everywhere you look in the store they are piled up. I bought one, can't decide whether to open it all now or be restrained and do it one a day in December like I'm supposed to.

If the stores are overflowing with them I can see them marking them down as they can't keep them for next year! Would be pants tho!

Argh...they've dispatched the crappy beauty things I bought to make up the £35 but the calendar is still "awaiting dispatch"

Same here bring

I reckon they will use the excess store calendars to send out to on line shoppers if that can be done.

The rest of my order came this morning, but no calendar. Not like I need it yet, but wanted to squirrel it away

I've got this for the first time. Sadly my mum died on Thursday and I needed to buy my DH a white shirt and a black tie for the funeral and was entitled to the calendar too. My mum was a beauty product junkie so she would have loved it. It felt a bit frivolous to get it but I know she would have loved it. I blame her for my beauty product addiction anyway.
