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 didn't say you was the only one did I FairyJen?

I asked if we could keep specific requests to other threads as they are taking up room on the bargain thread.

If its a 'personalised stocking' its a bit different as many people will want that but a £38 mooing biscuit jar is frankly ridiculous.

No where did I say 'no chat', just maybe it would be nice if it was chat that is relevant to the majority of people reading these threads?

FairyJen · 11/10/2013 19:27

Well I'm sorry I've bothered you then. I shall "chat" accordingly from now on.

Thanks reastie and Thanks issac

Awkward...

Thomas 10" bike half price in tesco down to £25

bymoonlight · 11/10/2013 19:32

FairyJen, Issac does this when you ask her for a bargain:

This and this

I know that because its what everyone does who is looking for a bargain. If we all posted shopping lists there would be no room for chat or anything else.

Maybe you could try that?

TeaAndCakeOrDeath · 11/10/2013 19:34

Right, no conversation, just lists of links

No getting excited about what we are getting loved ones for xmas, no sharing ideas, no thanking other posters for saving you a bit of money

Anyone breaking these rules will be rounded up and shot by Santa himself

Better? Hmm

FairyJen · 11/10/2013 19:34

Why not use one of them to find some manners??

Funnily enough I have tried that. Issac seems to have gift for finding what others cannot perhaps that's why a few posters have asked for help? Who knows. Anyway your last post was not bargain specific was it

Iamsanta · 11/10/2013 19:35

Just ordered to of these for a friends DC, already bought one each for my DCs...they are lovely! They are smaller size than normal sack but perfect for the smaller gifts.

I don't know how to link but will copy and paste. Blush maybe someone could link?

I think most of the things she has found has been through Google FairyJen.

Try it .. its like magic.

TooWetToWoo · 11/10/2013 19:36

I like the camaraderie on here. Let's just keep it the way it is.

TooWetToWoo · 11/10/2013 19:37

bymoonlight what's with the hostility?? Hmm

FairyJen · 11/10/2013 19:38

bymoonlight I really do not have the energy for this. I have had the shittest few months of my life ever. So yes I'm trying to make this xmas special and bring some joy to my dc and dp. God knows we need it.

I have apologised. Get over yourself it

SpookyTeacakes · 11/10/2013 19:38

AHEM.....

Does anyone know when mamas and papas have their 20% off everything weekend? I need to get ds a sack to match the one dd has Smile they are lovely

Clementine80 · 11/10/2013 19:39

Wow. This took a turn. Thanks so much to all the bargains people have posted. I'm just a bit of a lurker but have done so well from this thread, this year and last year so thank a lot everyone. Smile

FairyJen · 11/10/2013 19:40

Nasty familiar sounding cough there spooky Grin

IsaacCox · 11/10/2013 19:40

Hmm I won't be bothering any more then.

TeaAndCakeOrDeath · 11/10/2013 19:40

Hope its mulled Fairy !

bymoonlight · 11/10/2013 19:41

No hostility.

But the threads are filling up faster than Reastie can cope with so it makes sense to return a bargain board.

Where people can chat about bargain they have found, if they were good value, if the glitches worked, if the presents were liked etc.

If you want to write a boring shopping list for Issac, start another thread . its that simple.

Mama1980 · 11/10/2013 19:41

I like the chat and the requests and the FUN of trying to help (even though I'm fairly crap at it! Blush)
Please continue as we were.

By the way has anyone else had a asda delivery? Please tell me I'm not the only one I'll feel bad especially as I haven't contributed many bargains though I do buy plenty......Grin

TeaAndCakeOrDeath · 11/10/2013 19:42

Isaac Please dont get upset or feel you should stop, you've really helped out a lot of people on here

FairyJen · 11/10/2013 19:42

Of course tea any other kind would not be acceptable.

I'm really sorry issac [extra large Wine ]

Iamsanta · 11/10/2013 19:42

fairy sorry to hear you've had a hard couple of months, please ignore and rise above it! Wine Cake Brew

Clementine80 · 11/10/2013 19:43

Please do Isaac - I just got one of the cambridge satchels because of your fab posting today!!!

angelabbie · 11/10/2013 19:43

I am sorry but no no no Isaac is not allowed to leave

BlackStiltonBoots · 11/10/2013 19:44

Just wanted to say that I got my Box of Awesome, it had the same stuff in it that the rest of you got. DD2 loves the horrible book and DD1 nabbed the stickers and footballer (DH angry as it's an arsenal player haha). I think if you fill in a survey that they send you, then you can get another box.

Does anyone know whether Argos have another 3 for 2 on toys soon? Need ninja turtle figures for DD2 and don't want to spend £10 on one!
