Mooseymoo yes I used it on Fri then tried again on Sat and it said it had expired. Glad it's still working for others. I should have set up an account for DH, I did get 50% off Happyland toys so still a bargain Grin

Wonder if I can cancel the order and try that code again....

Sock Shop free delivery code SOCKIT. Got some lovely stripy over-the-knee socks for DD1 - £1.60! Peter Shilton footy socks for DS (£3) and fluffy little socks with a teddy on for DD2. Was surprised how cheap some of their stuff is.

Thanks for the Tickseed link Moosey - i have used them before and they were great. Fogot all about them - off for a browse.

zipZap I bought that mixer this morning from there. The checkout lady was surprised too at the £100 discount!
Just need some free time to try it out now! :)

Thanks for the CD link too. Its on its way to me as I love a good sing song whilst putting the decorations up :)

Tempted by the Spicery bits too for my Dad.

zipzap · 15/10/2012 12:54

pigleychez glad you got a bargain too!

I figure at that price you can't go too wrong - especially if I remember to get dh to put the receipt somewhere safe in case it has a problem so it can be easily taken back! Thing is, I wouldn't have bothered buying a £50 food processor if that was its full price as would figure it would be a cheap and nasty one, but this one seems to have got a which recommendation too so for the price it should be fab Grin

enjoy using it! I haven't got mine out either yet - need to do some tidying in the kitchen first to make a space for it SadShock

I just bought a set of PaperJamz stuff for ds(7) from the Entertainer

Drums, guitar, microphone and amp for £31-24 instead of £95 and Quidco has 6% for the next three days.

Hoping it's something he'll like, as I've never seen it before in real life.

Boden catch of the day is back. 30% off winter warders (today).

MooseyMoo · 15/10/2012 13:58

Warder? Warmer! Ruddy ipad

MooseyMoo · 15/10/2012 14:07

Ooh, my book people order has arrived. I got the winter wonderland collection (x10 books and come in a bag), Sarah Raven's complete christmas and christmas decorations (will love doing these with DD)

PoppyScarer · 15/10/2012 14:31

The Asda wooden shop (£25) arrived this morning and I have put it together as it isn't a Christmas present, just my attempt to get the kids' shop stuff organised. DH was sceptical but we both like it, it seems decently sturdy and easy to assemble. Hope the dolls house and kitchen are as good for people who have bought those!

DangerousMouse · 15/10/2012 15:06

Thanks Moosey for the spice packs link, I'm going to sort out my order tonight, might even get one for MIL

3in2years · 15/10/2012 15:53

Thank you so much for starting these threads. I'm not officially starting shopping until payday, but couldn't resist the Julia Donaldson and dr Seuss books at the book people. Morckk hoody on order too....

Could anybody please clarify what the moulton brown offer is?
And the Orla kiely scarf one?

Thanks again.

Tikkabillajive · 15/10/2012 16:12

I have been lurking on this thread for a while (and bought 2 of the bargainous Uniqlo Orla Kiely scarves last week!) and today I've taken the plunge and done a bit of Christmas ordering!

Toys R Us currently have an offer where you get a free Playmobil advent calendar if you spend £45 on Playmobil - so I've ordered a pyramid for my DCs to share (which is reduced to £39) and a whale and boat for my DS (reduced from £19.99 to £9.99) and got an advent calendar free!

reastie · 15/10/2012 16:16

Orla Kiely scarves

Molton Brown code is MARIE10 for £10 off any order or THANKS for a free full size bath/shower gel (2 flavours to choose from) with any order . Can't use both MB codes together btw and postage is about £5

I think I love boden..
no actually I do.. package is on it's way

Pomtastic · 15/10/2012 16:22

I have a few picky wine lovers to buy for - just found that going to
www.winesdirect.co.uk/#Wine%20Voucher%20Codes

and clicking through to Naked Wines meant I got £60++ worth of wine for £25.43! 6 bottles so only £4.24 per bottle for v good wine (I hope, don't know much about wine!)

It's a tiny bit fiddly - the link activates a £40 voucher when you spend £60, then delivery is £4.99. You can only order in multiples of 6 bottles, so I managed to get it near enough on the £60 nose with 4x £9.99 bottles, 1x £10.99 & 1x £9.49 bottle.

HTH for anyone Smile

neddle · 15/10/2012 16:35

I can't get the mothercare code to work.
I've got a £20 (reduced from £40) toy in my cart, but the error message says
'Sorry, the items in your basket do not qualify for the promotion code you have entered'

What's the code actually for?

HokeyCokeyPigInAPokey · 15/10/2012 16:44

Never i ordered from Boden on Friday and it arrived on Saturday!!

Looking at COTD!!
