    Good Afternoon :wave:

    Was going to treat myself to a new dressing gown from Marks I have 2 from there but one is looking a bit worn and scruffy. Guess what after years of selling them they don't seem to have them this year :(

    Will have to keep checking and hope they get some in. Been on online chat but person I spoke to was useless :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    I've been looking for a men's dressing gown...I bought one about 4 years ago and its a bit tatty now...but it's either something thats only stocked just before christmas or they are right out of fashion.

    all the ones I have seen have not looked very warm.

    I haven't got the £10 or is it £15 off m&s from Sparks. Perhaps its because I only have 146 points :rotfl: Love the look of that jacket though :smileyhea

    I think I've only used OHs sparks cards for the initial free coffees, one clothing purchase when his had the 10% off and mine didn't and 2 meals deals so he has just over 500.

    so in terms of value of offers he has had the 10% offer and a fortnight of free coffees in his first month.
    I've had £2 off wine, a free cake with a cup of tea, one free coffee and this £10 off a jacket and I've had a sparks card from the very first :(

    Have you tried adding the jacket to your basket to see what happens? The offer is automatically added to your account (if you have it) rather than one of the offers you have to click on so is in a slightly different place to those
