    I hate to spoil anyone's fun, but for those of you who haven't experienced M&S Sales much in the past, please don't assume you will received your ordered items. It's only when you see that they've moved in status to 'dispatching soon' that you can expect to see them.

    Some of us have been very very disappointed in the past!

    Doesn't stop us trying though!

    Best philosophy is to assume you won't get anything you've ordered, then if you get something, it's a bonus!

    ;)

    so I will probably end up with the £1.50 hair ties reduced from £3 with a £3.50 delivery charge....lol

    I'm only really bothered about my bras so fingers crossed ;)

    Just been in to the Glasgow Sauchiehall Street store and the sale is actually very good in store too, so maybe worth a trip if you're out and about to save delivery. I only looked in womenswear but probably about half the dept was sale.

    I agree with the above post worth taking a look in store - Childrens section had some very good bargins!

    I have ordered in every sale in past few years and have never (touch wood) had an order cancelled or not fulfilled on me.

    Just popped into Reading and there were only a couple of racks for girls clothes (still spent £30) but very very little for boys :(
    I have a new claim to fame :D I spoke about the Olympics ticket fiasco on Martin's daybreak slot :money:

    Ive just been to London Colneys huge store and they have loads in the sale and some really good bargains. It was quite busy. Got a couple items as I really couldnt afford more. But the jeans were marked originally as £29 down to £17 but came up at £9 so they let me have them as that:beer: I know they fit as wearing an identical pair in diff colour.

    .....by someone who has been disappointed in the past by non-arrivals:

    If you order something on-line and before you get it, you see the identical item in store, buy it. That way if the item is subsequently cancelled from your delivery then it doesn't matter but if your item does get delivered, you can take one back and potentially (assuming more reductions have happened and you don't mind lurking around a bit ;) ) you may be able to purchase the item again at a cheaper amount.

    Hope this make sense! :D

    ......for the quickest order to be cancelled! Ordered :

    Boys' Limited Pure Cotton Mock Layer Graphic Lion T-Shirt
    2 Pack - Cotton Rich Short Sleeve Assorted T-Shirts
    Cotton Rich Spot Knee High Ski Socks
    Funnel Neck Long Sleeve Fleece Top
    Pure Cotton Short Sleeve Union Jack T-Shirt
    Autograph Stripe Thermal Top & Bottoms Set

    Annoyingly items are still being shown on web as available.

    I did quite well in Tamworth today so tried to cancel a couple of items I ordered last night, one order must be on its way already as I was too late to alter it.
    BTW they're doing two stamps for each coffee on the card ATM for Fair Trade Fortnight
