Aw Vickles I guess the pregnancy hormones have got to you and blown everything out if proportion.

As others have said, Reastie has put a lot of effort into collating all the info for the first post on each thread. It's really helpful and we all appreciate it.

No-one is out to humiliate or bully you.

Now have a cry, get it out your system and come and join us again for some bargain hunting Smile

SminkoPinko · 14/11/2012 21:13

I think the zulilly stuff sometimes takes a while to dispatch, runforthesun. I ordered 2 things a little while back and one was dispatched quite fast but the other only arrived today.

runforthesun · 14/11/2012 21:13

Thanks Oreo, I think I've been in such a shopping frenzy the last few weeks and everything else I have ordered has come pretty much straight away. I will hang on.

oreocrumbs · 14/11/2012 21:16

milkymocha I bought DD's mini micro scooter from Jojo maman bebe. I used a 15% discount code that brought it down to £45. The 15% code has expired now, but there is a 10% code active MM21. That will bring them down to £47.70.

Or you could hang out for another 15% (or the more elusive 20%) code to turn up. This was the cheapest way I found to buy them. I missed the 20% code but was happy enough with 15%.

BuffyFairy · 14/11/2012 21:19

Thanks hokey

zipzap · 14/11/2012 21:21

Posted this at the end of the previous thread but in case BWS missed it - and just spotted that buffyfairy is also interested in handbag organisers, here's the post again:

BeeWheeSht it was me that posted about the handbag organisers.

I've ordered a couple from ebay so hopefully they will come soon - I was going to do eeny meeny miney mo on the cheap ones and keep my fingers crossed, but a MNetter said that she had ordered hers from 'onestoreonline2009' and the quality had been absolutely fine so I went with that one, especially as they were one of the cheapest!

I've ordered these two:
smaller £2.09
bit bigger £2.57

They have sold thousands of items and still have 98.9% positive feedback, so figured they were worth a punt, some of the others only had sold a few hundred things, if that.

There were others that were more expensive from people based in the UK if you need them more quickly - these are supposed to take up to 3 weeks as they are free postage from Hong Kong.

I wanted to give several as christmas presents, which is why I wanted to check they were ok, fingers crossed the timing is such that I will get the ones I ordered soon so will be able to order the others in time! (thank goodness that schools are breaking up so late this year so there's extra time for the second lot to arrive!)

legalalien · 14/11/2012 21:22

Back up - what is this business with uniqlo having an ocado code? I am loving having figleaves stuff available on ocado - surely not uniqlo too this could be very bad for my budget

oreocrumbs · 14/11/2012 21:23

Wowcher A2 canvass deal expires at midnight.

I've completely lost track of what I'm expecting in the post! Was saying to DP this morning I can't remember if/where from I ordered my brother some aftershave Confused. I thought I did, but nothing has come, and I have so many bloomin' emails coming every 5 minutes it will take me an age to trawl through looking for order confirmations! Or I might not have. It's all getting a bit much Grin.

My poor DP, just looks a bit forlorn when the postman knocks at the door several times a day.

zipzap · 14/11/2012 21:26

Argh. just realised I copied post and it didn't copy the links over.

They were:

smaller organiser

bigger organiser

but if you do an ebay search on handbag organiser, you'll find lots of different ones at all sorts of different prices. I found ones pretty much identical to these on Amazon at significantly more. There are also some that you can bid on, starting bid 1p with free postage but you typically have to wait a day or two for the auction to finish and I didn't have time to wait, plus I wanted to reorder several afterwards so wanted somewhere I could easily go back to.

jumblequeen · 14/11/2012 21:27

Marking place AGAIN! How will I ever keep up? Thanks reastie

Aspiemum2 · 14/11/2012 21:28

Marking place even though I have completely finished my shopping and can't afford to buy anything else Sad

Aspiemum2 · 14/11/2012 21:30

Oh, I got a £5 voucher from wowcher Wink does anyone know if these are transferable? Happy to give it away if someone wants it - sent in an email so could just forward the email on to someone??

zipzap · 14/11/2012 21:34

And then I added this...

BeaWheeSht - and depending on whether or not getting an organised handbag is for you as opposed to a) anyone else and b) wanting something to shift between different bags, I've bought myself a really nice handbag that is all organised on the inside...

It's this one: the Grace from MiaTui

I like it because whilst it's first and foremost a nice handbag, they've also thought about the inside of the bag as much as the outside... So, the lining is waterproof, there are lots of pockets on the inside of assorted sizes (to hold pens, phone, key clip, mini organiser bags) plus a bottle holder that's made of neoprene so it will keep a drink for me or kids (or baby bottle if you're at that stage) cool or warm for longer. Plus it came with a cute little matching clutch bag that you can stick your important bits in, say, if you want to switch them to another bag or use as a make up bag. I also bought from them a set of clear inset bags to use in the pockets in the main bag - planning on using one for make up and the other for instant play kit for 2 dc (2x cars, mini colouring book, mini colouring pens, box of raisins)

And all for the bargain sum of £45 (or a bit cheaper for a couple of colours)

BuffyFairy · 14/11/2012 21:36

Ooh even cheaper Thanks zipzap.

legalalien I think it's just a random code name for Uniqlo. I've used ocado10 twice on the Uniqlo website.

You can buy figleaves stuff from ocado?

spookysal · 14/11/2012 21:37

Reastie has been great with these threads Thanks and I don't understand why someone else would try to start another thread (pg or not) but I do know these are lovely threads and most importantly they are FOCUSSED on helping each other, lets not get distracted by daft unimportant nonsense.

Back to the topic .. It might have been mentioned but anyway, Redhouse is free delivery with YULE.

I'm after two(!!!) wooden dolls cribs so if anyone sees any on a site with a decent discount code I'd be ever so grateful Smile

TequilaMockinBird · 14/11/2012 21:38

Ooh where is the 3 issues of Glamour deal please? DD would love that!

gregssausageroll · 14/11/2012 21:42

Who was asking for candy canes? Aldi have them. 12 for 99p. Just saw it advertised.

cazza2878 · 14/11/2012 21:46

25% off and free delivery at Boden. Codes A564 or A563.

legalalien · 14/11/2012 21:47

You can. Which is great in terms of saving postage. It's a new development. I googled and the two companies have the same ad agency - BD Network - if you are out there monitoring your coverage on the Internet, you guys are brilliant (and if you could get uniqlo to market through ocado that would be great :). )

legalalien · 14/11/2012 21:48

Two companies - uniqlo and ocado I mean

leavesarefalling · 14/11/2012 21:54

Marking place. Some good codes. Thank you.
