These Marks vouchers always appear in Jan - (have for the past 4 years) They were great in the glory days as Mr T took them too;)
1 year they had a £10 of £50 for all of jan too..;) great for combining alongside the £5 off £25;) the pre total price glitch has been around for quite a few years:D

These are usually the only mocs marks tend to do each year

Thanks, wasnt a couponer when t;s took everything::mad::mad: thought they might have done a promotion at easter:D

I have just had a phone call from my son.

The other day I gave him a packet of the T. finest burgers.

He cooked a couple of them this afternoon and had just started eating the second one when he felt a sharp pain in his mouth and pulled out a lump of glass!:eek::eek:

It has cut the roof of his mouth, fortunately not seriously. I queried whether it might be a piece of bone, but he said it is definitely glass and looks like a bit out of the bottom of a bottle.

He is going to bring me the burger and the glass tomorrow, so I can persue this matter with T. and probably Environmental Health.

Glad he seems ok squigs that could have caused a bad injury.

Hi VT i totally agree with you as i have paintngs in my lounge ( some oils from my Granfather god rest him ) and although those ones are only memories for me and the family and not worth well i dunno he done the bat out if hell album cover for his daughter(all his paintings where in oil) and i have the last supper and Kilwinning Abbey to name a couple and i have others of value from know painters but i don't come in here and say all that when we have single mums scraping around to feed the kids that wa s why i was getting angry with the comments about can i afford this pic when i see others in here thanking us for helping to feed the kids.
I have deleted the posts as i should have ignored them and i apologies for any offence to anyone.

Thank you cookie radier.

Yes we are all here to save money but we also enjoy hering about the lives of others and what they do. When anyone is facing servere hardship we do what we can to help with the knowledge we have.

I for one am not going to stop talking about my day, experiences or a well saved for break in the sun for fear of upsetting someone who is scraping to pay for food. But I will speak sensitively.
If anything it should encourage them that things will get easier one day.

This community supports everyone whether they are living on £50 a week or £5k a month. It is for moneysavers be they rich or poor.

This thread shows enough humility not to boast but also shares in others sucesses be it a good 1p item or saving for a new car holiday or even a bingo or lottery win.

Busy spider I hope you made the right decision for you and your family and of course your wonderful Gran who left you the money.

Cookie raider I hope today has been an equally good day for you and yours.

I now have some heat as mum bought over a good but noisy fan heater. The immersion heater is on so I am looking forward to a nice bath and the landlady has given permission for the gas engineer to call tomorrow.

While life did throw me a curved ball yesterday I am now happy and warm again although not as warm as I have been used to for the last week:T:T

Time to catch up.

It did for me. I don't know if the SA noticed, I chatted all the while as she put the transaction through.

TM, as your our resident M&S person, do they usually have £5 off promotions at easter do you know please?

I don't think they did this last year Bubbs but I seem to recall that there have been other occasions when there have been money off vouchers. I have a M&S credit card and collect loyalty points....it's only really worth it if you are shopping at M&S ...I use the bonus points vouchers wisely. At Christmas I had one worth £5 if I spent £5 on line. Some of them are a no brainer and well worth doing. I get about £15 back each quarter on average so intend to use them with the Greenredeem ones. It's only a matter if time before that gets pulled I think.
