Sorry, can't resist a bit of McCartney Christmas magic (that sounds a bit naughty Blush not meant to I assure you). Might balance it out with some good old Sir John of Lennon next time. Oh, just the thought of getting my Christmas CDs out of the loft is getting me excited (again, no naughty double meaning) Grin

Eighth thread already

As usual I’ve been a bit sporadic with this OP once again bla di bla (won’t repeat the rest of it as you’re probably bored of all the small print by now!

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

Thanks to the various posters here. Have just ordered Minecraft annual for £3.99 with free delivery (CHEERS code) from the Book People. 11 year old son will be pleased and cheaper than Amazon.

losersaywhat · 27/09/2013 10:17

I've not had my letterbox order yet. :-( I ordered on Sunday and got a confirmation email and the money taken out my account but nothing since. In fact I've only had one parcel out of ten that I ordered at the weekend so it's not just Letterbox that are sloooow.
Thanks Reastie and everyone else on this thread, I've pretty much finished my Christmas shopping, now I need to stop buying bargains [embarrassed] oops

avalu · 27/09/2013 10:17

What I can't understand is why some are receiving there orders from Letterbox so quickly and others are waiting weeks! There Facebook page is rather worrying as well. I've been reading a lot of negative reviews...

Bea Weesht My dd has this post office. it really is great and she has played with it a lot.

It doesn't help you with your 342 but thought I should mention it as it is the cheapest I have ever seen it. Sorry!

IsaacCox · 27/09/2013 10:26

crafty yes, if you go on to estimate delivery it'll tell you as it's different for different areas I believe as I've not bought one myself.

IsaacCox · 27/09/2013 10:27

Sorry, you need to add something to our cart first then scroll down and it says estimate shipping and tax.

WithConfidence · 27/09/2013 10:28

playmobil fire engine with lights 21.99. Camel says highest price was 41.77 so it's good price.

caffeinated · 27/09/2013 10:29

AFDELIVERY gives free delivery at book people I used it yesterday and my books just arrived.

JustBecauseICan · 27/09/2013 10:31

I have just hacked dp's account for another Albelli photo book. The £15 offer for new customers (ie dp) ends Monday if anyone else is still wanting to do one.

Also did a wee Body Shop order. Seemed churlish not to, given the offers. I went for 40%, 18% cashback and the free gift in the end rather than the 50% across the board, but no cashback or free gift. I have no idea mathematically if I did the right thing.

mootime · 27/09/2013 10:32

Hmm, I hope we have just delayed them, rather than make them sink...
I've emailed as I actually need some of the bits for visitors next weekend. Dolls house and shopping trolley are here.
Has anyone had a space station yet?

MooseyMoo · 27/09/2013 10:36

More books Smile DD loved listening to me read The Wishing Chair last night so was looking for more chapter books and found a few more books

I Am Reading Collection £8.79
Magical Children Collection £4.40

Disney Princess Chapter Book 8 Book Pack £5.28

And a couple of books for DH

Paul Hollywood's Bread £4.40

Le Tour 100 £5.28

Those prices are using the AFAUTUMN and as it was £28 I got free deliver included.

I was just in Tesco. They have a toy clearance :)

I got a small Charlie bear plastic car for 64p and a small soft toy Waybaloo for 80p.

However, over ¾ of the people in Tesco were coughing and sneezing Shock So wear your masks!

Damnautocorrect · 27/09/2013 10:43

I've used letterbox before and they are brilliant. I'd say its just volume causing the problem.

Rubybrazilianwax · 27/09/2013 10:43

Just reminding everyone to delete their history on amazon etc especially if using the app. My dc go on all the time to browse so I just realised how much I have bought on there recently!

IcedCoffeeQueen · 27/09/2013 10:57

That ps vita is a bargain out of stock just now though. Struggling for a 'big' present for ds7 he hasn't asked for anything im debating between a tablet, a ps vita or a 3ds (he has a ds lite though) hmm

IsaacCox · 27/09/2013 10:58

You can get a free sample of the new Baileys drink here. Good to go in a hamper or for yourself after all of this shopping! Grin

bymoonlight · 27/09/2013 10:58

I've had a look on the M&M website but they haven't got the bits I want. Has anyone ordered from Sports direct and had problems? Or was it all ok?

Pumpkintopf · 27/09/2013 10:58

Issac thanks so much for the Crayola link, got three reserved to collect tomorrow. Absolute bargain at that price ie a fiver each! Flowers

Pumpkintopf · 27/09/2013 11:01

bymoonlight used Sports Direct last year and was fine, pretty quick delivery iirc
