Afternoon all :j

Before I read back - my report from the front line.

Marks dine in for £10 offer - Sparks offer this week includes one for 20% off ice cream. Ice cream is included in the dine in offer this week - I think there are either 2 or 3 flavours (the muggles don't realise this so you should be able to get some)
Sadly though the 20% does not come off if you buy it as part of the dine in offer

But I am happy enough as I got what I wanted anyway - lemon chicken ,rosti, chocolate and hazelnut gelato and rose
Not many lemon chickens but they seem a good size and it will feed 3 of us easily with various sides and vegetables

Going to McD or the chip shop would have cost a lot more than £10

Perhaps its because its called gelato rather than ice cream which made the 20% off not work

And I came out of Marks without collecting my two orders - fluffy headed this morning

Free Canderel Sugarly 275g just appeared on COS - available T/S

Yes it appeared while we were in Sainsbobs which was good timing but my store only had 2 jars left

Also the bahlsen jaffa cake type biscuits which are on COS from Sainsbobs with 40p cashback - my store had 3 packs in the reduced section for 79p :j
I thought I would risk buying them and COS have accepted the reduced price :j

Now When I look again it seems like you can claim up to 12 packs - I just got one per device/account. It might be something that Sainsbobs are no longer stocking so they are stock clearing through COS

OH has been eating the very acceptable jaffa cake looky likey biscuits from Aldi - very acceptable they are to

update to this - my Marks e voucher from Q arrived today so very quick - it just comes as a normal looking e voucher from Marks - I print mine off.

So I could in theory have used it towards this weeks dine in offer - I used a credit voucher instead.

My next experiment is to use the Quidco e voucher as part payment for an online Marks order - Sparks have given me £5 off skirts this week. And then I will have 3 Marks orders to collect or forget to collect tomorrow

also a reminder to anyone who has the Marks Sparks offer for £5 off jeans to make your order today.

They start at £15 so not too bad if you need them. Marks jeans seem to fit me nicely so when I see my size in the sale I tend to stockpile.

Collection is free to store including little Marks simply foods. This reminds me I also have to collect my scratchy dress tommorow.

I had a think about Quidco since this morning. They are offering an extra 10% when you draw down via a Marks e card and I wondered how long it actually takes to do. So as an experiment Ive just done this - I was surprised how much I had accumulated in Q from various odds and ends - there was £5 from the Groupon offer and £2 from the cream eggs etc
Ive ordered a £9.13 Marks e card which will be useful for doing online orders especially when there is a £5 sparks code.
Sadly the credit vouchers don't work for online orders

I have ironed all the chintz fabric, sorted it measured it, catalogued it..
whilst entertaining friends

Admittedly the chintz is only an 1/8th of the fabric
