I want to say thank you to everyone who has posted here with a code......it's really appreciated! Have had great bargains from Clintons, The Book People, Body Shop, Letterbox, Amazon and am going to get some fairy doors (how cute are they?!) Guardian bulbs and I'm sure lots of other great things. Great big thank yous all around!!

PoppyWearer · 01/10/2013 18:49

Well, Black Friday in the States is usually the Friday after Thanksgiving, so this year would most logically be Friday 29th Nov, I think.

But I have no idea if the Amazon UK site follows that logic or simply picks a random Friday!

PoppyWearer · 01/10/2013 18:55

CoveredinWeetabix it was me looking for champagne offers on a previous thread and I went for an M&S offer, 6 bottles for around £100 IIRC and it got great reviews.

As I've squirrelled it away I can't remember which one it was, but they seem to have some other offers at the moment working out at about £20 a bottle.

Coveredinweetabix · 01/10/2013 19:04

Those PJs are gorgeous. And I'll pop into Tesco and get some champagne tomorrow...unless I wait until the weekend having taste tested M&S first.

When did you order moonlight? I'm becoming obsessed!!Grin

VeeAndTea · 01/10/2013 19:35

OOh, thank you Isaac, just got the Lorraine book!

I've just taken in a delivery from the book people, the play lego book and the minifig 2 pack. I was in the shower, so answered in a towel. DS apologised to the driver for the state of me. Blush

bymoonlight · 01/10/2013 19:41

I ordered Saturday afternoon SodsLaw, I hope you get a dispatch email soon

Has anyone seen any discounts on CD players? It's only for 6yo dd1 so doesn't need to be anything fancy. The basic the better tbh.

supermariossister · 01/10/2013 19:48

can anyone recommend some baking books for a preteen who has recently got into it, preferably ones with everyday ingredients not really extravagant things. cakes/biscuits/flapjacks type things.

IsaacCox · 01/10/2013 19:49

Coveredinweetabix · 01/10/2013 19:51

Quick question for those who ordered the free watch with magazine & free perfume...are they nicely packaged & in good enough condition to gift? I always try & donate some presents to the local women's refuge at Christmas and know that, whilst they are inundated with presents for under 5s, they don't get much for teenagers. It just occurred to me that I could give a couple of extra presents this year if I could give the perfume and watch and it only cost me a couple of quid.
I'd also like to get a couple of things aimed at 12 - 15 yr old boys. So if anyone sees a bargain costing no more than £10 per item (at the reduced price) for that age group, please flag it up. My DC are little so I don't have a clue.

Stillhopingstillhere · 01/10/2013 19:52

Any new codes for the book people? Previous ones no longer working! Thanks

IsaacCox · 01/10/2013 19:52

super- I don't have it so can't personally recommend it (also don't know if it's too young for them?) but I've just come across this on Amazon.

Trazzletoes · 01/10/2013 19:53

The East mid-season sale is on - they do good reductions on their accessories.

IsaacCox · 01/10/2013 19:53

Here's some new codes Still

Coveredinweetabix · 01/10/2013 19:53

super rather than a recipe book! what about some "fun" ingredients. I'm thinking different sprinkles for toppings, fudge chunks, mini marshmallows so she can experiment with different things.

supermariossister · 01/10/2013 19:54

watch and perfume are packaged as though a gift, watch comes in an oasis box with little cushion inside which the watch is round. perfume is in rhianna box with photo on then has cellophane on then a rhianna photo sleeve over that.

Oreocrumbs · 01/10/2013 19:55

I have the watch Covered and yes it came as if you had bought it, in a watch box, in a sleeve.

I think someone who got the perfume said it came in a box and cellophane as you would expect too.

What a lovely thought.

supermariossister · 01/10/2013 19:55

yep im thinking that, she was bought loads for her birthday but now we have run out of the staple ingredients and shes got a mountain of decorations but no flour so maybe a go to box for all things baking would be good

Stillhopingstillhere · 01/10/2013 19:57

Thank you that's great!
Got a lot of books to order so helps saving that bit of money. Smile
