Same here! Woohoo! :j

Well... I decided to cancel EVERYTHING in my original order (the one that hasn't budged for a week) and reorder what I could with a further 30% off! I'd say 60% reappeared onto the site within seconds but a few bits and bobs didn't. I can only assume those items were were out of stock and that's what was holding up my order. I ended up placing lots of small orders so poor M&S will have a lovely time sorting it all all out for me, lol. I'm disappointed that a few items were out of stock, but I should receive a few things now (fingers crossed).

I think there'll be more reductions tomoorow - this is apparently just a 30% extra for today on selected Sale & non-sale items....

Holding my nerve until 6AM

'Further reductions' started instore today. So I doubt there will be any further reductions until the final clearance when they have 'floor' prices for items based on category. This happens only instore, as I haven't seen it online.

For example: the football items which went on sale early this month are still at the 'further reductions' price online, whereas it was all 10p-£3 instore.

Can someone tell me what happens if you order and pay for a store pick up and the items go down in price meanwhile?

You will pay the price at the time of ordering. Your card will be debited before the items are despatched so any subsequent change in price will not affect your order.

So could I reorder at the lower price and pick up and return the original order items on the prearranged pickup day and get credited at the higher price? Hope that makes sense

Yes, you could return the original order for a refund with the receipt - but I'd make sure your replacement order actually arrives and was OK before you did that!

I thought the 30% extra off today was a 'flash' sale until midnight?

RE the Official England Football gear, was really strange, they had hundreds of the white England hoodies for boys in several sizes until midnight on the monday night, then the whole range just disappeared, and was deleted!

I guess they decided to spread them around the stores or dump them all on the outlets....

I was really miffed tho, had been holding on till the Tuesday expecting to get a couple more for my nephew's when the prices went down again after midnight!

A flash sale it clearly was, since the web site now makes no direct mention of a sale, although heavily discounted items are still to be found in individual sections. However, they didn't seem to have much stock available anyway, with only extreme sizes available in most things. The only choice seemed to be on those items I probably wouldn't be seen dead in anyway!
So, as a headline attraction, it lasted less than a week on line. I wonder what they will be up to in store tomorrow...
