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!

My Letterbox order has apparently been dispatched. According to the tracker it is at their 'sortation office'. Is that even a word? Am hoping it doesn't arrive today as DP is home Blush

Now this isn't particularly Christmassy but may be useful to someone - Clarks have 20% off all spends over £60 until midnight monday with the code BOOM. Useful if you have your eye on some boots or similar.

Reastie I had to stop a second one going in for me! DH is going to go mad at all the parcels arriving soon...

MissElodie · 28/09/2013 09:38

Thanks to those who posted re the slushy cups - DSD has a thing about cups and glasses etc so hoping she will like this!

Forgive the dumb question Blush but with the telegraph seeds if I order them now are they ok to give as a Christmas present or do they have to be sewn this year - do they have an expiry date?

MissElodie · 28/09/2013 09:41

*sown not sewn (I think) oh dear I have looked at this too much now and don't know the right word Blush Blush I mean planted!

JustBecauseICan · 28/09/2013 09:42

SpottyTeacakes Flowers for the Yves Rocher bargain. Just ordered my Mum some nice shampoo (one of the BOGOF ones) and opted for gift n 2 which would appear to be posh face cream worth £30.

Also ordered a dancing flower Flowers for the poster linking it. Dd will love it as a stocking filler. I had one years ago, my friend in Japan sent us one. The box was hilarious, badly translated into English. It said on it: "Oh my happiness. How many happiness. Tonight I stay home and finish my boyfriend's knitting" Grin I still chuckle to myself every time I think of it.

DeadMansBones · 28/09/2013 09:43

amazon has furby booms for £40 at the moment.

JustBecauseICan · 28/09/2013 09:45

PHOTOBOX BOGOF on mugs. Using TEATIME as code. Also the usual "up to 70% off" for other photo gifts.

I feel I have enough mugs coming (although am losing track and need to sit down and make a list!)

Wiifitmama · 28/09/2013 09:50

If anyone knows of any deals or codes for personalised tree decorations, I would be very grateful. We have a family tradition if giving the boys one each year, but 3 at full cost of £10 each might kill me this year!

CatAmongThePigeons · 28/09/2013 09:56

"Oh my happiness. How many happiness. Tonight I stay home and finish my boyfriend's knitting"
That is really funny! Grin

Achica haven't sent me a code, so annoying, but I have sent a link to DH so will sign up on his behalf and get the benefits that way

IsaacCox · 28/09/2013 09:58

I've just been to Morrisons and they had loads of toys for £10, all I can remember though was a toy kitchen and a train set (might have been a wooden one I can't remember) Worth a look anyway.

Lolly12 · 28/09/2013 10:03

Have just tried the Molton Brown Code and not working yet but guess it will become valid shortly as in the November issue of Good Housekeeping.

RhondaJean · 28/09/2013 10:04

Achica - if you are a referrer the code only comes when the person you refer places their first order and it is dispatched I think.
