I’m doing things a little differently this time - if lost then see message 2 on the first page for the codes/info collated from previous threads (to save slow loading for those using phones).

Hope this works a bit better and please give me feedback Grin Thanks

we’ll need to start renting storage facilities to hide all this stuff the rate we’re going

Notso do you know her shoe size? The Iron Fist sale has some v extravagant shoes. Which I can't justify buying for anyone so I would really like them to sell out and I can stop longing.

Made a special trip to tesco and was bitterly disappointed!!

JustBecauseICan · 10/10/2013 13:01

Ziggy- I have everything delivered to my poor old mum's in the UK, we come home for Christmas. Italians are crap at Christmas. Only start preparing about the 20th December!!!! Shock

Kryptonite I don't have a phone number, but the email address that confirmed my Company magazine subscription was [email protected] if that's any help

babyseal · 10/10/2013 13:01

notso they are here

I also got my Yumi order at 7.30 am this morning after ordering them about 3pm yesterday Shock. I am really pleased with the camera satchel for my little sister and also my lovely bargainous dress and bobble hat I can ill afford Blush.

Kyrptonite · 10/10/2013 13:03

Thank you! Have emailed them now.

What was the Yumi bargain? I just purchased a blazer and bag so that's me and my mum sorted!

babyseal · 10/10/2013 13:12

Lovely bags from £7 for a tote and between £12-£30 for satchels Kyrptonite. They also have some lovely wooly hats for £6.

Ziggyzoom I have been buying the pottery you linked to for gifts for a few years as I live locally to him, it is all lovely in the flesh and I think very bargainous for what you get, and of course it is great to give hard earned cash to a small business. Smile

Rubybrazilianwax · 10/10/2013 13:12

janx i got my snitch today too! Bet they came over in the same shipment

notso · 10/10/2013 13:17

It was the Widnes Tesco where I got the Lightsabers for £1.50, down from £9.99 it said on the shelf, got 3 Darth Vader red ones.

IsaacCox · 10/10/2013 13:18

I've just done 4 asda shops just paying delivery check this out and change the last 2 numbers to 15 Just hope they honour it now!

VeeVandTeaDrinkYourBlood · 10/10/2013 13:21

I love latest in beauty. Their luxury stuff is a good size and the freebie are all really good quality.

IsaacCox · 10/10/2013 13:23

My heart is racing! Trying to get the Asda order to work (it seems to have worked- have had confirmation emails!) I just ordered a loads of booze and tins of chocolates. Eeep what do I do if the driver comes and it's all full price?! I'm too shy to speak to people really Blush I wouldn't know what to say and would probably just accept it Blush I' actually shaking a bit I've that much adrenaline!

iloveholidays · 10/10/2013 13:29

SpottyTeacakes · 10/10/2013 13:31

Oh Isaac! I don't know what it will be... When the driver comes act surprised and say 'oh I didn't rode this must have been dh' have a look at the paperwork and accept/refuse accordingly Grin

IsaacCox · 10/10/2013 13:36

Eeep!

gazzalw · 10/10/2013 13:37

I seem to recall that something similar happened a few years ago with ASDA...don't want to rain on your parade but I'm sure it was a glitch and most people ended up paying the full amount!

IsaacCox · 10/10/2013 13:40

I'll just have to wait and see :( I hope they'll send an email cancelling rather than having to sort it out with the driver!

Mama1980 · 10/10/2013 13:42

Well I tried the asda thing. Various toys and beauty stuff only paid 2.50 delivery. Have a receipt so....? Was worth a try Grin

Bloodsocks · 10/10/2013 13:43

Well done Isaac!

My CK e-reader cover just turned up so that's my mum sorted, my cheap chocs from superdrug as well and my Christmas brown paper wrap and Christmas stamps to decorate.

Just waiting for my m&s sale clothes, my studio24 order and my cheap amazon necklaces to be delivered, I'm ordering my dads pressie from Ocado as I cheated and signed up in dh's name so I can use the money off voucher then one more order from superdrug when I get paid next week and I'm nearly done!

Flowers to everyone, especially you Isaac, you've saved me loads!

IsaacCox · 10/10/2013 13:44

This is apparently a £50 code for asda RN-10-1M-05

Bloodsocks · 10/10/2013 13:50

AUTUMN1 will get you £5 off a £25 spend at Matalan or AUTUMN2 will get you £10 off a £40 spend. Not sure if they're just one use though.

IsaacCox · 10/10/2013 13:50

Just did the £50 one at Asda- 2 wines and fifa 14 for £5.82. Everything crossed!

Oreocrumbs · 10/10/2013 13:52

Eeek I fear the Asda thing might not work - I'm fairly sure that the price they give you online (for all supermarkets) is an approximate figure and is subject to change to the price at the time of checkout - or something along those lines. It's usually in the small print!

Just had a weird encounter with my Yodel man. Was stood outside talking to neighbour and a really flash BMW pulled up, out gets a man wanting number X, so I say that's for me. It's 5 x 15kg sacks of dog food (I have a lot of dogs).

Then he starts asking why I order this online - it's not good for his suspension and he was here with the last order not long ago! He took great lengths to tell me how it would be much easier for me to go to the pet shop and buy it Confused.

Yes much easier for you Mr, not for me - do I look like I want to lug 5 sacks of dog food around with a toddler in tow? That is why I pay for it to be delivered! Perhaps trade in the BMW for a van if you are going to be a delivery driver and don't want to wreck your suspension.

VeeVandTea, very coincidentally my new niece is Amelie. Not a 9lb though thankfully Grin.

Oh and I missed the snitch the first time around so thanks for the re link, just ordered 2.
