and diamon earrings, less than £30

Ooh thanks for the recommendation folicacid - good to know who is good out of the hundreds on there!

Was wondering whether to go for cheapest I'd seen (think cheapest so far was £2.59 including postage) or whether to go for one that shipped from the uk. But if your organisers are still going strong after a couple of years I will try the place you got them from. Better than doing eenie meenie eBay mo to choose one!

Also think I might get them as teacher presents and stick in a small box of chocs (will save having to entrust ds2 to carrying anything glass and I usually give an umbrella and chocs but can't this year as ds2 has ds1's old teacher).

Thanks everyone for the soapy/bath ideas. Off to check those out in a sec.

neddle- sorry but I think the mothercare code has expired.:( Might be worth waiting for the sale the week after next? Unless you're after something that might sell out of course

Waitingforastartofall · 15/10/2012 19:51

just received code from littlewoods for free yankee candle when spending over £50 with code 2CMHB, says one time code so dont know if it will work for multiple people but i wont be using it having spent 54 yesterday, doh. Worth it if your ordering anyway

olibeansmummy · 15/10/2012 19:59

That book people code Xmas262 just didn't work for me :(

ScorpionQueen · 15/10/2012 20:03

littlemefi · 15/10/2012 20:10

Anyone got a discount code for The Book People please?

zipzap · 15/10/2012 20:16

pamsie - they're on my list of things to do this week!

Just had a look at the shop folicacid recommended and they have two different sizes so might try one of each.

Also - do you think that the grey one would be suitable for a man? (obviously with a suitably macho monika and remembering not to call it handbag organiser!)

Waitingforastartofall · 15/10/2012 20:24

Oooh can i do that, never done that before feel naughty saying that they christmas one isnt part of the freebie and i wanted the christmas one haha.

Folicacid · 15/10/2012 20:28

zipzap wee misunderstanding- I recently bought them, it's just the seller that has 2009 in name! Good tip from pamsie about ordering in plenty of time, mine took about three weeks as well.
