Continuing the discussion ...will there be some good discounts?

I've got some sequin leggings in my M&S basket at the moment, probably not wise 😁 I keep changing my mind about the AC

I resisted the Boots edit as there was too much I wouldn't use. Slightly regret it now it's sold out, fickle!

I want the M&S blue sequinned trousers so I might dive into that one.

I’ve got underwear and pjs for DD and leggings for me. All things we need and will use.

Has anyone who bought the OK calendar had a dispatch email yet?

@beguilingeyes I tried the trousers earlier in the week - awful on me.

If anyone wants Molton Brown it has 25% off on their website no code needed it just add the discount at checkout- I am torn it looks lovely but I had it a few years ago and got 2 50ml fragrances now they are only sample sizes

Does anyone know of a good hair products only calendar please? for a tween with very long curly hair.

@Cyclingmummy1 oh no, I have the green and the silver ones. I went a bit nuts last year and bought a shirt and a jacket as well

20% off Asos advent with code TREAT today. I’m tempted but certainly a good one for those of you with beauty loving daughters.

All my M&S Sparks clothing offers end today, grrrr

@AprilLady 😂 I remember that one with the stupid stickers! At the time, in my head, I imagined there were a lot of glamours disappointed mistresses all over the world. Who else would have bought that expensive nonsense apart from rich men looking for last minute equivalents of stocking fillers?!

Agree the m & s vanity case is very dated. I much prefer the tin and boxes of previous years

Can’t believe M&S is available tomorrow. I need to decide today wether I get it. It feels like a bargain but do I really need to bring any more Philip Kingsley into the house!
@pinkchampagne1 . I had an email last week saying they would start shipping OK Advent by the end of October but nothing since. I wish they would hurry up as I keep forgetting I have bought it and what’s in it (Philip Kingsley I think!) and I am presently doing a purge of all my unwanted products

I had the email saying it should be dispatched by the end of October too but nothing since.
The items I remember are the Philip Kingsley products, a vitamin C cleanser, the Kate Somerville moisturiser and a naked lady candle 😃

Space NK now have a free gift with a 250 spend, just bought my advent calendar and it qualifies as part spend for this! Glad I waited now as I was getting twitchy.

@Lovethatforyouhun oooh, thank you. Might have another look as two dd aged 15 & 13 here

@pinkchampagne1 well there is definately a gap in my product haul for the naked lady candle!

I bought my tights yesterday with my Sparks discount but I always get PJs for the kids from M&S for the calendar spend. Getting it this year for MiL as she adores it but may get myself one too as I have no others. And then I can split the loot with the kids as they’ll have anything I don’t want. Basically I just want something to open. I am NOT getting Diptyque as the cost is just too much but I might get some nice stuff from there for half the cost and feel like I’m saving!

I will get the M&S calendar - don’t know what I will buy to go with it though, as don’t really need anything. I wish food counted!

I am annoyed that I never get any good/relevant Sparks offers - for weeks my only one has been a totally useless - to me- family days out thing😟.

I was in there anyway yesterday and went to pay, and opened my Sparks card with my usual air of futility. Imagine my surprise on finding offers on things I actually wanted.

The M&S rewards scheme is the absolute worst. I get a very occasional emailed offer of 50p off a pair of socks. I have MILLIONS of points and they mean absolutely nothing in monetary terms.

Tesco and Boots have the best loyalty schemes, IMO, where at least points = money, and I usually “save” around £30 per shop with Tesco’s Clubcard savings.

I've done a complete 180 on the M&S and now really want it. I have various things in my basket I was going to buy today anyway, so may as well hold off until tomorrow. It didn't excite me as a standalone but I think it'll go well with F&M (nice to get some make-up bits), and I can forget the Elle for 3 times the price!

😂

My Boots beauty box has been dispatched already 😊

Sparks have offered me 20% off footwear, nightwear, bras and knitwear - but not tights.

All end today though. Not by accident I suppose!
