    I've ordered one more present online and put all the stuff I want in my 'basket at M&S' to checkout in the morning.

    Have any of you added a sim to a tesco direct order to get free postage?

    I need a wee but Woody is asleep on my lap

  • Brief post:

    Great news Emily and hope all goes well for the move. It'll be a bit manic, but it will be lovely for you to be settled before Christmas.

    Night all and God Bless. x

    MY friend has phoned and was thinking we could share one of the M&S dine for £10 deals BUT I can't find out if there is one on at the moment so was wondering if any of you knew?

    Ooh Valli, I was looking for you and found this website - http://www.vouchercodes.co.uk/discounts/ms-10-dine-in-meal-deal-offer-2128.html might be useful to any of you who shop online for vouchers (you may already know, but might be useful - Oooh, GnB - you could use your button! :rotfl: )

    Sorry, but they're concentrating on the christmas stuff now, but they are doing this? http://www.marksandspencer.com/gp/node/n/189459031/275-9673813-9267408?amp;mnSBrand=core
