Sorry halfthesize, just grinning as through this thread a lot of us have half-cleaned-out the Molton Brown warehouse!

Just seen someone chatting about WHSmith's book bundles here. They were out of stock by the time I saw them last year - just ordered the picture book pack and the See Inside set. Fab bargains!

Don't forget to go via Topcashback or Quidco - think its 5% cashback on books.

Cox and Cox - 15% off with code ERN15, ends 15th Dec (it's a bit like a home furnishings store)
Joules - £10 off any £30 spend, BBYCNU3 valid 29 Oct to 2nd Dec

Uniqlo collaborate with all sorts of brands/people - they are not fake. We have some Cath Kidston Uniqlo tops amongst others. It is a limited range that is all.

yes the littlewoods code works, you have to open a credit account, and they refund the £20 to your card, you can still pay in full, I have and I will be closing the accounts as soon as my purchase arrives, thats christmas jamas sorted, just got 5 pairs for £21

Was in Home bargains today and they had quite a bit of playmobil in. Also had 1D dolls.

I did take a mental note of what the playmobil was, and loads of other stuff, but now I can't remember Blush

SminkoPinko · 16/10/2012 22:00

ALERT ALERT- that Littlewoods code is crap. You have to open a credit account for it to work.

Titsalinabumsquash · 16/10/2012 22:02

Thanks for the WHSmith link! DS is covering a lot of the topics from the "look inside" books so I've ordered them through Quidco for him for Xmas and got cash back, also got the activity pack for boys to split up for the zillion birthday parties we still have to attend. Smile

Argos toy exchange starts tomorrow. Take a toy in to store to donate to Barnardos and they will give you a £5 voucher to use on any toy purchase over £35.

Debenhams have this Elemis gift set for £23.50 which is a good price for the contents. There is a free gift if you buy 2 elemis products. Don't forget SHD1 for free delivery.

izzywizzyisbizzy · 16/10/2012 22:03

I was happy enough with the littlewoods one, you just close the account straight away and pay in full.

SminkoPinko · 16/10/2012 22:04

Oh sorry, izzywizzy- x post and you have reassured me that opening an account is not a problem after all!

ALERT ALERT- listen to Izzy not me!!!!!

QuietNinjaTardis · 16/10/2012 22:07

Thanks bleeding. Now does anyone know where I can get roller blades that aren't too girly for my 8 year old niece?

oreocrumbs · 16/10/2012 22:08

Half price UGGs.

izzywizzyisbizzy · 16/10/2012 22:10

lol sminko, Ive done it before with very, and I think they are part of the same group!!!! There is usually a very type offer with 3 for 2 toys close to christmas, mumsnetters jump on it, then panic about not having the £30 discount!

oreocrumbs · 16/10/2012 22:10

Peppa pig mega playset £20 Asda direct. Other Peppa reductions too.

SminkoPinko · 16/10/2012 22:29

Well I am very pleased with my baby born boy doll and x box rechargeable battery pack for only £20, so thanks v much for the reassurance izzy. :)

izzywizzyisbizzy · 16/10/2012 22:40

Sminko - now wait for the £20 refund to your cc - then close the account and unsubscribe (via link on email) - leaving your email account free for the next time.

The Vistaprint 99p calendars work out about £4.85 each but still good value and quality.

rhondajean · 16/10/2012 23:52

La redoute question please!

I keep trying the converse and a dress with the 0280 code for £30 off and it keeps telling me no the converse don't count as they are green pages.

Please can someone tell me they actually got £30 off a £60 spend ŵith converse and not £30 off a £60 spend PLUS converse at normal price?

The code does go through but I only get the free bag not the discount.

SminkoPinko · 17/10/2012 00:36

my converse plus socks order went through with the code just fine Rhonda and I think others have been lucky too. had a chat about it with ohtheconfusion way down thread. not sure what green pages are?

rhondajean · 17/10/2012 00:41

Green pages are the premium brands - converse etc.

Did you have a la redoute account before. I did and I might try setting up a new one if everyone who got the code to work didn't.

Thanks for replying.

janji · 17/10/2012 00:45

HokeyCokeyPigInAPokey · 17/10/2012 06:49
