Morning all,
Can highly recommend the spicery box linked in the OP - will be nice extra for Fil and BIL
My body shop code hasn't gone through so have emailed them but apart from that am doing quite well.
Am holding off DC main presents until they do their letter for father Xmas as it keeps changing depending on the tv advert that's on.

Can also commend balance bike- transition to riding bike without stabilizers was much easier

reastie · 10/11/2012 09:17

So with balance bikes, do they work well on grass terrain? We have easy access to fairly flat large expanse of grass but if it wouldn't work that well I wouldn't bother with it I think.

OP posts:
WineGless · 10/11/2012 09:32

Yes DC have used them when camping and fly around n them! Once child gets used to having to push harder on grass they are fine

Prizepudding · 10/11/2012 09:32

WIGGY have sent you my elc code, should be in your inbox, I hope it works.

AudrinaAdare · 10/11/2012 09:52

Have Pmed you Jumblequeen Smile

milkymocha · 10/11/2012 10:01

Free delivery on the balance bikes too! bargain, DS1 will be thrilled Grin thank you cece for posting

SheilaWheeler · 10/11/2012 10:04

I've got an ELC code, pm me if you want it

oreocrumbs · 10/11/2012 10:08

Elc kitchen £22.50.

Is reduced to £30 and then you can use the 25% off voucher for this.

For those who want an/other elc code did you see my link yesterday morning about an automatic generator of the codes. Apparently it works - so you can generate your own code as many times as you like. They have a time limit so you need to do it when you are about to shop and no good for passing on, but everyone can do it!

oreocrumbs · 10/11/2012 10:10

Apparently (she says tentatively) the vetch25 is working on ASDA now.

Enter vetch25 for the discount. Free delivery to store.

Just wanted to say massive thanks for starting this thread. I have been waiting to buy some le creuset from John Lewis but managed to get 20% off at Amazon thanks to someone on first page. Thank you!

Bargains from me: I have a GAP VIP voucher if you want to PM me. 30% off until tomorrow.

I also saw the game Shopping List on Amazon for less than £5. It's a great game for 3-5 year olds.

twirlyagogo · 10/11/2012 14:30

Just got my l'occitane order - really disappointing. The enchanted winter set looks like something from Poundland. Awful - no way I can give that to someone, just looks like a randon collection of free samples in a cheap, nasty tiny little make up bag.

The'free samples' themselves are so tiny, they're a waste of time, and the perfume I ordered has leaked. The 'wrapping service' is two bags, nothing like what is shown on the website.

Will never order from them again - none o fit can be used as gifts so wasted my money!

MooseyMoo · 10/11/2012 14:40

twirly I would complain about the perfume leaking and see if you can return all of the products for full refund.

MistressIggi · 10/11/2012 14:43

Twirly hope you can just send the lot back for a refund. How disappointing.
All my bodyshop stuff has come - do love the reindeer wash balls, have bought 4!
M&S have some kind of food order/wine reduction until the end of tomorrow.
And I can actegorically state the Primark near me does not have Xmas duvets! Said they might be getting them in - no chance I'll be back unfortunately.

twirlyagogo · 10/11/2012 14:44

Have emailed a complaint, so will see what they say - wish I'd stuck to Body Shop!
