    I have bought my DD's uniform for high school today - decided not to leave it until the 1st of September then panic as I would normally do.

    Anyhoo, I went to Marks and Spencers, via Quidco for 5% off, found a code for 10% off, and another for free standard delivery.

    Total spend £47, but after discounts and cash back should be under £40 including delivery.

    Did I do OK?
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
    Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:
