A nice dream while it lasted though?

Indinana Sat 17-Oct-15 10:12:36

Oh shock, so others have one as well? Already? And some even before me? How will I face my courtiers? Oh, I don't actually have any...

I didn't receive one, perhaps because I don't buy from them ?

Well the postman has just been and I think I will just stay in bed today I am so miffed that I haven't got. M&S special card this morning. In protest I will buy my winter woollies and jeans elsewhere (oh, just remembered, I did) well, maybe I will go to BHS for some pants.
That'll show 'em tcrangry

Annsixty, I got mine on Thursday too, and was feeling rather superior until I read Rosequartz's post. Still, she had to actually go in there to be given it. I'm sticking with Fortnums I think. No silly gimmicks in there. smile

And now..... You will be buying even more!

rosesarered Sat 17-Oct-15 09:58:57

Well, I haven't had one in the post, I obviously don't buy as much there as you Indinana, ( ah! The true reason revealed, you buy lots of stuff there, who knew?grin)

annsixty Sat 17-Oct-15 09:53:33

Well I am so upset at actually NOT being the first and being treated as one of the "common herd" that I think I will have to consider cancelling my account.(stalks out seriously miffed)

rosequartz Sat 17-Oct-15 09:41:28

Not as special as me either. I got given one on Tuesday in store (being trialled exclusively in Wales apparently - why? The Welsh are no more gullible than the rest of the UK) and another one arrived in the post on Thursday!

I was so excited I put them in the bin by mistake!

annsixty Sat 17-Oct-15 09:34:08

Well I don't want to prick your balloon Indinana but I got mine on Thursday and I was also the very first to get one. And a very handsome piece of cardboard it is. grin

I suspect my natural charisma has achieved some fame throughout the land, Luckygirl and has come to the attention of the powers that be at M&SHQ.
I do hope you are all walking backwards until you reach the door from my chamber. And don't forget to curtsey wink

Luckygirl Sat 17-Oct-15 09:23:52

I am seriously miffed! - how come you got one before anyone else? Was i something I said/ grin

I am honoured that you should even deign to have truck with such lesser mortals as my humble self. Do keep us informed of your illustrious progress through the special treasures in this top people's store. grin

Alea Sat 17-Oct-15 09:15:41

I expect it will be 10 bob just to read your posts now, oh illustrious one! tcrgrin

Indinana Sat 17-Oct-15 09:04:57

I am! According to the letter I got from Marks & Spencer this morning, at any rate.
Enclosed with the letter was my Sparks card. It is unique apparently. And it is my "ticket to personalised offers, priority access to Sales and invitations to special events". Gosh, I am so excited!
No-one else has got one of these yet. I know that because the letter said that my Sparks card has been "delivered exclusively to you before anyone else. (my underlining).
I just thought I'd let all you lesser mortals know about it, so you won't be surprised when your cards turn up, probably next month sometime. I will, of course, have already snapped up all the offers by then. Because I'm special, and got my card first wink
