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

I'm hanging on to my Tesco receipts, I'll have to see if my stuff's reduced any further!

Just bought a Fisher Price Little People Spin and Fly Helicoper Helicopter for £5, showing on Amazon at £14.32+. The Little People figures were 2 for £2.50 too.

Oh and those sledges are out of stock and I can't get free delivery on anything else - is it all supposed to be free Isaac ?

Thanks to those who advised about using ELC birthday club with the sale - it worked, and not only that, but it inspired DH to start his Christmas shopping for the nephews and nieces - it's a Christmas miracle!

Excellent new thread just in time for pay day. I had to avoid the last thread entirely because of lack of funds...any supey doopey bargains I should know about that are just too good to be missed?

Is the gift wrap from the book people not very good now? I got the packs about 6 yrs ago and the wrap was lovely quality, it was The Snowman, and you got gift bags/wrap and tags and I still have some left

I am so cross about missing the book people. I ordered yesterday, it could have waited till today Hmm

I am going to count up and log all the things I have bought, tomorrow. I think I might get a shock! Blush

Tremendous Thanks Reastie and to all bargain contributors

I'm sure this doesn't count but I need to share. I tried on a gorgeous cream & navy cashmere top in M&S on Saturday but couldn't justify the £85 price as it was soooo similar to plenty of navy stripey tops I already have.

I just checked online & it's been further reduced in their sale. With my dads staff discount I got it for just short of £30 Grin

I've had a count up today and have discovered I have plenty of presents still to get. Mum, Dad and another one for DD (nearly 2). Thank you for the threads Reastie!

Yeah the sledges sold fast! Apparently there was 167 pink left as of 2.10pm then in about 20 minutes they were all gone Shock

I'm not sure about the delivery Frisky. On hotukdeals they said it was free delivery until tomorrow so I just took it as all the site was.

Thanks Isaac for the Yumi bags link, just got my sister a really cute satchel for £12; only problem is I accidentally slipped on the Order Now button and a dress and wooly hat for myself landed in the basket. Damn Grin.
