If this is your first order… click on our link below and then use code XX-PD96 and get £10 off your first order. Supposedly valid until the 19th July (but I suspect it will keep being renewed as long as it is your first order only). Your order needs to be over £50 but that is very easy to acchieve.

You could also try these codes.. GR9KPL for £10 off your first order + GRRX4F for free delivery. This is only valid until the 12th July. But worth giving them a try.

Code XX-HPPX is also for a first order for £10.00 off a £50.00 order and this is valid until the 19th July.

For people who already have an account… you could use code XX9KQY for £6.00 off a £60.00 order.

You can always open an new account in say your hubby’s name to take advantage of the offers.

Happy Shopping

• a lasagna (which was delicious and I am fussy about my pasta)
• a bottle of wine (a sparkling wine which was fruity)
• a panna cotta (not for dieters – mind you nor was the lasagna)

I went and paid… and was not given the voucher. So I requested it. I was told, we deducted £5 off the total instead. Needless to say, it was no longer an exceptional offer. I went to complain to the manager who did not really want to do much. However as I was not the only one complaining, we were given £2.50 back. Still not quite the fiver but at least it resembled the cost of the average side dish.

The interesting part was between paying and before complaining the offer was removed!! I was unimpressed to say the least!

You can say that Marksies is split into quite a few departments but mainly they do:-

• Clothing (Men, Women, Children & Babies) and Lingerie
• Footwear / Shoes (Men, Women & Children)
• School wear / uniforms
• Gifts & Flowers
• Books
• Toys
• Technology
• Garden, House & Home
• Furniture & Furnishings
• Wine
• Insurances
• Costume Jewellery
• Holiday Shop
• Technology

Both their quality and prices are really reasonable.

Their grocery section has a vast range of delicacies at reasonable prices. They also have ordinary food too. The biggest drawback is they generally tend to sell their own range only. For example they will only sell their own brand water, which is not particularly good. But over all the rest of the items are better than the average supermarket. However you cannot get groceries online presently. You have to go in store to buy them. Its well worth a visit. You can find an M&S on almost every high street.

They now offer Free delivery on orders over £30.00.

They have a loyalty scheme called the “& More”. It is credit card based. The more you spend, the more you earn in rewards to spend back at M&S. Its not a bad rewards scheme and you can use the card elsewhere to earn rewards for M&S.

Cadbury – Yes the chocolatiers now brings to you Cadbury Gifts Direct – Direct to your door. Although you can order from anywhere in the world, sadly they temporarily only send out to the UK… but don’t worry I live in the UK and my address is….!! Just kidding!! Perhaps I should not joke and I should rename this site Chocaholic? Me?

Ok… back to Cadbury’s. They offer a gift finder service. You can chose a gift by selecting price and occasion and they offer you a selection of gifts. But personally I prefer their pick & mix section to create an original gift.

The best bit about this site is that at the end of the day, you get a quality chocolate gift by Cadbury’s. You cannot go wrong. And while ordering that yummy gift, why not order an extra one for yourself too!

I am sure that you do not need any introduction to Tesco, but I must go on a little bit about Tesco because they are far from being just a grocery store!

Tesco originated as a grocery store slowly conquering the market and becoming what it is today. Tesco has helped change the way we view supermarkets completely. In the past, you walked into a corner store picked up a pint of milk, some bread, your daily paper and perhaps the food you ate that day. Quick in, Quick out. Well today you pop in to your store and can pick anything up from your pint of milk to your TV. And you no longer have to pop in. Tesco will even deliver direct to your door.

All Tesco’s electronics have FREE delivery, though you have to pay for delivery for groceries. However, there always are coupons and special offers that can cover the delivery (plus some groceries). Delivery charges are dependant upon when you want your order delivered. Example it is more expensive on a Saturday than a Tuesday.

There is no minimum order, though the coupons usually have a minimum £50.00 purchase. I particularly like to use them to deliver big heavy stuff like my washing powder, bottled water, wine and toilet paper. Ok I know TP is not heavy but it is bulky and saves me having to manoeuver it in the car. You can also always amend your order until the night before. You can even book your slot up to 3 weeks in advance. Perfect for your return after holidaying.

Even if you have used Tesco before, I must highlight that Tesco have done some major rehauling of their website. You can now really get anything from Tesco including all the following:-

• Groceries (Duh!)
• Electronics (TV’s, Ipods, Playstations etc)
• Photography Printing (cheap too!)
• Wine (Cheaper than instore – they even have a wine club)
• Furniture (Really New stuff!)
• Baby Stuff (Nappies, Nursery, Food etc – They also have a baby club and send you great offers)
• Finance (Credit cards that give you back cash, loans, saving accounts etc)
• Insurance (Cheaper than most! – including Travel, Car, Home & Pet)
• Phones (mobiles & landlines – they even have a value SIM)
• Broadband (different services available)
• Flowers (did you remember your mum’s birthday?)
• Travel (Cheap Cheap Travel)
• Gas & Electricity (You earn points on cheap gas & electricity)
• Books, DVD’s, Cd’s etc (Starting from under a pound too!)
• DVD Rentals (You do not even need to buy the damn DVD’s!)
• Diets (First they fatten us – then they slim us down! Hmm)
• Contact Lenses (Yes – watch out specsavers)
• A legal store (should I be worried?)
• Nutricentre (not quite sure what this is yet!)
• Toys (makes Christmas shopping easier)
• DIY & Car (All you need to do it yourself!)
• House & Home (Like they would not have this section!)
• Clothes (coming soon!)

Did I cover it all? Oh yes, before I forget, they even do things like sponsor schools (giving stuff away) and sponsors charities (see their plastic bags). Oh yes, they will even recycle their bags, you can hand to your delivery man or in store. Plus if you reuse your bags, you even get green points which convert to money! 1 green point for every bag used. The only drawback is this is not available on deliveries – yet!

Before I forget, you really should get yourself a clubcard. You can get so much with their points. You get 1 point per £1 spent. This translates to a penny if you use them in store but 4 p – 4 times as much if you use on clubcard deals. And they have some amazing deals from Tussauds Group Tickets to Airmiles, from Days Out to Hotels, Accomodation and Travel.
