    £14.....that's the cheapest so far:T:T

    We've just had the curried lamb topped with potatoes and coriander. It was lush:)



    Morning peeps.


    just to say its the last day for the meal deal.
    It came to £14 as it knocked the free side off 2 deals, so no need to buy 3 sides per 2 deals, iyswim.

    that's what I did but I think mine came to £15.50 ?? - I did not have the gastropub discount on sparks though :(

    I had a Marks Sparks email though last night to say now I am over 5000 sparks I get access to the pre sales - although its really only the 80% off sales I take much notice of.

    This £2.50 I've saved on a side and another £2 off a bottle of wine about six months back have been the only real offers I've been able to use since this new Sparks scheme started.

    From various postings on their facebook page people with really big sparks totals who were promised exclusive invites have been even more disappointed

    no idea how I got to 5 thousand either. At the start I did quite a bit of shwopping - taking an Oxfam item in to get 50 points but now I cant find the swhop bins even in the bigger stores and each time I was having to show the staff how to put the points on as they had not been trained. I don't know why I bothered.

    OH wow :j I am very impressed - I think I am going to get my head around my booking now its worked for you.

    did you opt for the Botley Park Hotel?
    And are you driving down so you have free parking for the week/fortnight?
    and it includes your taxi on the day to the port?
    does it include breakfast?

    it looks about half an hour from the port which feels like a long way out
