    My £25 m&s gift card (for taking out an m&s credit card) arrived today - I was a bit surprised to find it has to be used by mid December and has to be used all in one go. I had assumed that it would be like their usual gift cards and not so limited.

    I wonder if I could buy a £25 clothing item, return it next day and get the credit put on a normal card ?

    I received mine and OH one yesterday and went to spend them immediately, trying to use them both on my M&S account but wouldnt let me do that so had to set up an account for OH. Wanted to spend them asap looking at the way M&S seem to be going lately :eek:. Got a £100 gc too from switching a bank acc to M&S :)

    Is that Hornchurch in Essex. (not sure if there is one in Wales :o )
    If so, I lived there till the age of 8. If we are of similar age, we might have known each other :eek: :D

    Yes in Essex , lived in Ardleigh Green until I was 11 we moved away in 1980 after my db got killed on his push bike , parents could not stay there.
    They did get a bridge put over the dual carriage way si youngsters walking to redden court school could cross safely though .to avoid any more accidents so something to be proud of.

    Wow, if I lived alone I would love to live there. My own little bolt hole :)

    Oh hang on, DM is here hand washing his shreddies :eek: :rotfl:

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    Morning sammy:)

    Yes it's any Taste the Difference wines or champagne which includes sparkling. Unfortunately the fizzy range starts at about £8 and you will only be able to use one £40 doubled up voucher per transaction i.e. 5 bottles of fizz for your £20.

    I'm happy with that though as I got most of it for putting in petrol which I would have been using anyway:)
