Elite 11+ shopping and chat thread part 2½

mhoc

Marks Sparks new offers - mostly the 20% off various types of clothing and 20% off various types of food - oddly OH has on his card 20% off oranges - how on earth does Marks know that OH is now obsessed with oranges - never bought them from there, mainly the bags of 10 from Sainsburys for £1.75 ...

Anyway on my card, biggest sparks total, I have £5 off wys £30 on ladies tops. The same offer is also on the emergency card which has less than 200 points - I think it was only used for a meal deal once ...

It would be very nice if the same glitch was on as happened in March - I think that was only for a tenner spend ...

Last week I had £5 off jeans and jeggings but I only got around to doing my order last night. it should be ready for collection this afternoon! Marks now do slim fit medium rise bootcut jeans for £15 so I am giving them a try
(this weeks offers include 20% off jeans so that's £3 off a £15 purchase so not too bad)
I had the automatic £5 off, an e voucher from a TCB conversion and a random gift card to pay for them so no actual money - just a wallet tidy up.

My Per Una jeans which were just about perfect I've loved to death so they are looking tatty at the hems and seams now so its time to find something a bit less scruffy. Unless we get a proper summer when it will be too hot for jeans anyway.

Good morning lovely peoples :wave:

Another lovely sunny day to enjoy

Thank you TM :A I am extremely nervous as have my appointment this afternoon with the Oncologist who will have the results of my CT and Bone scans.

I've been having some pain in an area where I shouldn't, so been trying to keep busy to keep my mind occupied. Nights are the worst

I tried to mow the lawn yesterday, but had to give up as still too muddy

But at least I planted my tomatoes out and enjoyed some sun on my body

Have a great day everyone :A

We will all be thinking of you, if the power of the Elite could make those results miraculously clear you would be there xx

Absolutely, totally and utterly agree. It is the cruellest of diseases, the sooner a cure is found the better.

I am now kicking myself, I meant to pick up some M&S jeans while I had the £5 off, what good is 20% off on a pair of jeans when I had £5 off yesterday, I only want a £15 pair :eek:

Still, I can outwait them anyday

Thanks Sarah

I went in reasonably early and got 4 SD own tangle tease brushes rtc 50p Normally £5.99 but bogohp just now on new colours Then 3 4 2 kicked in so :money:

I may make that my normal Wednesday route :rotfl:

Do you buy any chance have a barcode for these own brand tangle teasers?
I actually managed to wear one out and had to replace it so having a spare in the travel bag would be a good idea.
But I am also thinking that these would be a nice things to go into the Christmas shoe boxes. I've got a random £1 on my Superdrug card I need to use up before it expires as well.

For about 10 years the only jeans I bought were from M&S, then I discovered GAP outlet and found some that fit even better.

You still get £3 off today using the 20% off - I know not quite the same but it depends on the level of desperation you are at - how threadbare your favourite pairs are after this long winter .....

go and enjoy the sun - forget the lawn.
Employ someone to cut it for you on a regular basis and then you can just do the fun bits in the garden

I have actually got two non-threadbare pairs of jeans, so I can wait, I was just going to get this pair and put them in the wardrobe as a spare, no idea why because if I need jeans it is mostly for crawling around under desks etc, and I have so many pairs of black trousers it is unbelievable :rotfl::rotfl:

I've used coupons with Shopmium Di no problem:)

Is anyone going bare legged today.....:)

Postmen excluded obviously as they are already barelegged:D

Wondering how zippy is coping:o

That's a challenge.

I might go barelegged in the garden but then get the summer white jeans out for later on when we go into town.

On Countryfile on Sunday the weather presenter said the last time we had good temperatures was last August :eek:
