Just a bit of info for those awaiting their orders. I ordered the calendar, and various things from the 50% off beauty. One parcel arrived yesterday, two arrived today. M&S appears to be using 3 couriers - DPD delivered the calendar, UPS some of the beauty stuff and Royal Mail the rest. DPD seem to be the best for tracking - you get an email and if you click 'track my order' on the day it's to be delivered, you can get details of when it will be delivered down to a 15 min window. UPS send an email with a 1 hour window and Royal Mail - I got an email but no time. I've had to hide the calendar from me - it's huge and looks so tempting...

Parcelforce are delivering my Calendar and Parcel Force delivered my beauty stuff so it must be area dependant.

I caught up on C4's SuperShoppers late last night and felt the glow of affirmation as I thought of the advent calendars I've wasted time umming and aahing about but not bought. I'm already swimming in stuff I don't need and should concentrate on selling it.

The best place for me is out of the shops and the internet

Is the 20% off this weekend?

I have a plan My Dad shops in M&S, buys his clothes form there. I shall be telling him he can get 20% his purchases (there must be something he needs, even if its more underwear!) and asking him to get a calendar to give to me to Christmas, must remember to also mention this to his partner (she will make sure its done ) plus she shops there as well so between them they should be able to make up the spend.

VfM4meplse - Wish I was more like you in all honest I do have enough products but I like trying out different ones and the sample sizes in calender's are ideal for that. Aslo I have had my eye on this seince I heard it was being release.

See post 86, not sure the Advent Calendar will be included.
Fingers crossed that it is for you but I wouldnt bank on it.

Its ok if its not off the calendar, I normally ask for something around that value. I was thinking more of my Dad/partner getting 20% off their stuff so they only have to spend 28 between them rather than 35.

Is it online only? thats a shame as they don't shop online Post above states it 'next weekend' but some people refer to next weekend what I would call this weekend and some to the week following iyswim.

EDIT: I know what it is now, you need a special voucher. Normally they give these out at work, I will ask tomorrow, Thanks.. It is right they get issued to M&S card holders, sure my Dad has one of these, its looking good

I remember last year I bought some beauty gift sets and the advent calendar and they took 20% off everything ��. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the same happens tomorrow.

Is the Friends & Family thing by invite only?

I think it is but they often keep spare vouchers at the tills - a couple of times in the past the assistants have let me have one.

My local store has 609 beauty calendars and Thurrock has over 2000, I think this is a sign I need one! :j
