For all you gals still here in Blighty.......M & S have a one day sale today 20% off!!!

Marks & Spencer

bondipom

They should be cutting 20% off the size of the underwear not the price.

Just as an aside. They have invented a new term which is 'guerilla sales'. Competition is so fierce in the UK and so many businesses are failing (M&S included) that a lot of them are holding sales like this. They don't announce them until the last moment and they secretly book advertising space (so competitors won't know). I wonder if they will sell undies for guerillas (gorillas)

Myers held one the other day in Bondi Junction. Funnily enough 20% off.

The only thing worth buying in m & s these days is there £25 jeans from the per una range. They are nice and long, and stretchy, so as a size 16 I can fit in a size 14 comfortably!!

havent bought knickers from there for ages........but have to say kids stuff when its reduced is good!!!!

I think all the clothes shops have changed their sizing. I was in Next yesterday, and looked at the size 12 trousers, thought they looked huge so tried on the 10 and they fitted a treat Not complaining, but haven't been a 10 for two children length of time

Rebel Sport in the CBD has 25% off ALL its footwear. Unannounced until today (started today till Sunday I think.) Went and bought some new runners and saved myself $45

OzTennis

People used to give me puzzled looks here when I asked for runners! They have strange names like trainers and plimsoles.

Myer and Rebel et al are into the guerilla sales!

They call them 'sandshoes' here... don't know why, they're not really what you'd want to wear in the sand??!

OzTennis

In days of old people would wear canvas shoes without socks to the beach so I guess that's where the sandshoes came from (?). Then came the thong (for your feet, not the things that M&S won't sell).

Teresa

had a phone call last night from my FANTASTIC MUM who had been to sale, bought up the whole place, (& underwear - fab) etc etc, went through what I wanted, then was taking the rest back in afternoon and sending it all out to me....bless her heart, needed my transporter for a days shopping with her, can't wait to take her to David Jones in March when she arrives.....

(for all those who don't like shopping...please ignore this post...lol )

mlbonner

I'm jealous

Teresa

this will make you even worse......she's in there every day (loves shopping...!!) and also gets bargains for £1- £5!! she's sent out Oliver so many clothes, little tshirts and shorts, plus got me some fab stuff shoes, bags, tops etc - all summer stuff and in colours etc, all very chic....not crappy like the image some people have of it.......anyway her way of spending virtual time with us and keeps her busy, think they will have excess baggage when they visit us

mlbonner

Sounds good to me!! Where I used to live was the M&S outlet... loads of bargains to be had there. In fact, I can't remember the last time I bought something at M&S full price

m & S RFOR OLD BIDS SO I WOULDNT RECOMMEND THE SALES ANYWAY
