    Seen some lovely pyjamas for your dd wedding morning. Not exactly what you were loving for but floral traditional shape. I thought could wear pj top with a nice cami or vest underneath instead of having a dressing gown. They are divinely beautiful and as dd will spend the rest of the day in one pale colour be a lovely start to the morning. They are from Next and ref not is 732-648 if that helps.

    V x

    OO I'd not thought of Next - this set does look very pretty, I wonder what the material is like. I also found a Mr !!!!!! set which was similar but the material was a bit brushed cotton

    http://www.next.co.uk/g6a2104s2#732648

    http://www.tesco.com/direct/ff-signature-satin-trim-rose-print-pyjamas/253-4252.prd

    so for the last 3 weeks before and after the hols I went round and round all sorts of websites and then late yesterday I started looking at Marks again as I'd seen this set instore on Friday.
    I went through TCB for the £5 bonus and I had a mailing code for £10 off nightware. I also had codes for 4 times Marks points I am still a member of the defunct marks premier club so I get various vouchers every other month.
    I also ordered my ill fitting jumper using my £5 sparks offer which brought my total over £60 using my marks credit card so I had another code from a mailing for an added 300 points worth £3 in reward vouchers which will come in the next quarterly mailing.
    So nearly 500 sparks points to take me towards the next level and nearly 500 points towards rewards vouchers worth £5 by the time the end of the quarter arrives.

    I've got free click and collect from our little Marks on Monday so hopefully I've got eldest child a set she will like - otherwise its either Tesco or next as a backup plan

    Hi bargainqueen:wave: I got a psychedelic kettle in Lidl. Was there at 10 and the woman was busy putting other items out. She looked a bit flummoxed lol. She said you ll have to come back later. I said I won't be coming back later at all because they will all be gone by then. She muttered something and went and opened a couple of boxes. They should have people in at 9 in my opinion to cope with this.

    hi emerald,hope you are keeping well.:)
    With Kitty Bingo is it best not to take the bonus ?



    Tia

    we were not taking it so any winnings could be withdrawn straight away without having to play through multiple times when the bonus was accepted.
