girlwiththeyellowhats do we have any news yet?

Fifth thread already, how did that happen?! I?ve booked our panto tickets now so am feeling very festive Grin . Tips I learnt from the last thread number 24837 - wrap a huge cardboard box in christmas gift wrap to put all the rubbish on christmas day in rather than a bin bag so you don?t get a black plastic sack in all of the photos

Please forgive the fact that so many sale and amazon products aren?t individually linked or are linked but price may since change by the time you click on it - so many of them are out of stock and amazon seem to change prices on an almost hourly basis (it feels like) on a number of items that were previously linked to. As usual please tell me if any of these links/codes don?t work or if there?s anything particularly you want to be in the next OP (assuming there is another Wink ) how would I do any shopping without you now

Thanks for all your help in helping my christmas shopping in 2013 be once again bargainous Grin

Ahhg!! Looks like H&M have got onto that little blimp. It won't let me pay. It's saying there's a minimum order of £6

kiwidreamer · 08/09/2013 21:08

That message comes up if you don't do the process n the right order, have a look at hotukdeals they will spell out exactly what to do, the message is talked about each time this glitch is publicised

FoxtrotOscarBackToEconomy · 08/09/2013 21:19

Another lurker here. I just want to add that I agree that Verbaudet sizing is on the small side. It's a French company and French babies clothes seem to be smaller than UK ones.

iloveholidays · 08/09/2013 21:35

not so much of a bargain but would be a good idea for any coffee hampers...

here

Mipe · 08/09/2013 21:49

Voldemort are you trying to order from H&M on a mobile? I had the same problem but if you change from the mobile to the full website it should work :).

TheEndTisHere · 08/09/2013 21:55

Thank you for the Vertbaudet code just bought my DD's new aprons I'd been eyeing up for a while.

Aslo thank you for the H&M 98p bargains not sure what to do with them but can't go wrong.

My DH must think I'm going mad Blush

BeaWheesht · 08/09/2013 22:05

What 98p H&M bargains???

BeaWheesht · 08/09/2013 22:07

Ignore me

Snowgirl1 · 08/09/2013 23:20

Thanks to whoever linked to the Meg & Mog 10 book collection on Amazon - despite saying I wouldn't buy any more books I couldn't resist them as I DD loves Meg & Mog...and thanks also so whoever linked to the Night Before Christmas book & CD - thought while I was feeling guilty for buying more books I might as well get that too!

toisa · 09/09/2013 00:06

Anyone know if ikea have their christmas wrap in yet?

500internalerror · 09/09/2013 06:50

There was nothing xbassy in ikea at the weekend.

AmandaLF · 09/09/2013 06:56

If I buy my ds an outfit from vertbaudet, and he'll be 18 months, do I buy the 18 months one as that does up till he's 2? Or the 2 year one? He's quite tall as well.

Great thread btw. I've got a few bargains off of it!

itsonlysubterfuge · 09/09/2013 07:04

Amanda I'm not sure about Verbaudet specifically, but 18months is from 12-18 months, so you would probably want to go with the next size up.

AmandaLF · 09/09/2013 07:06

Thanks itsonly. I've wandered this a few times but keep forgetting to check!

LaTrucha · 09/09/2013 07:14

If anyone is looking for coffee-ish presentst here is this. It is a bargain. I don't know how presenty it is.

lazzaroo · 09/09/2013 07:35

Just a word of warning on the debenhams cafatieres. I ordered 2 last year to give with coffee & mugs as part of a hamper, but they sent 2 replacement products of on the hob espresso makers. I returned them. Not sure if that's likely to happen again.
