And that thread title's an order!

Thread 13 now, unlucky for some but hopefully lucky for us.

Keeping things same as last thread - 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).

Second message hasn't been updated with new offers from last thread as you are too chatty for me, will do better next time.

mrswishy - Amazon have excellent customer service so it might be worth emailing them to see what is going on?

neddle · 14/10/2013 14:13

Does anyone know a good place to get Hexbugs?

I'm looking for ds (8) and we don't have any at all, so a starter set maybe?

Just out of interest, has anybody that ordered the photography mag subscription received their gorilla pod yet? Or their magazine? Dd has been taken but nothing received yet. I'm probably just being impatient!

Wanted to get the christmas throw from matalan but it seems to have disappeared from their website. Bizarre. Any ideas? Or should I venture out to the shop tomorrow?

iloveholidays · 14/10/2013 14:20

98, I can't see a few things on their website which I thought was on there and saw in Eastleigh branch yesterday.

I was looking for the duvets and Santa plate for Christmas Eve.

iloveholidays · 14/10/2013 14:22

DreamlessSleep there are lots of cellophane bags on amazon for around £2. Also think hobbycraft have lots of rolls.

I've seen them somewhere else but trying to think where.....

snappybadger · 14/10/2013 14:24

Thanks for the Peepo link and discount code - just ordered two for the new babies due in the family in January.

Also thanks for the 20% off heads up for Matalan. I have just re-ordered everything I ordered yesterday and will return the others.

Insomniastrikesagain · 14/10/2013 14:31

Wahey, have got something to contribute after shamelessly snapping up some serious bargains... Sophie Allport has 50% off some of her ranges (gingerbread and cupcakes, strawberries and cream, sailing boats) lovely table linen/oven gloves and that kind of thing. Could be a good present for any females you're trying to buy for...

BlackStiltonBoots · 14/10/2013 14:32

I printed out the 20% off voucher for Matalan and they let me use it in store. I ummed and aahed over the fleece blankets but left them in the end. They were nice and fairly big, and were on a 3 for 2 offer- wish I'd got them now!

Didn't see any amazing bargains really, will stick to online shopping for a while I think!

Has anyone seen cheap top trumps cards anywhere? Went to b&m and home bargains but they didn't have any in.

jamtoast12 · 14/10/2013 14:34

Frosty

I tried to find them online too last night but not there for some reason?. In store today they had them both plus paper Santa beard 'bibs' and pin the red nose on Rudolph games! All with all the xmas 3 for2. I got both and they're good (got them last year too).

The lady in m&s said they're having offers on each week for toys (something different) and that the crackers all go half price 2 weeks before Xmas! Lots of good offers on tins of shortbread etc in the food isle.

iloveholidays · 14/10/2013 14:34

Black tesco had some disney planes ones last week half price down to £1.75

TooWetToWoo · 14/10/2013 14:35

korma led helicopter 2 for £2.61

CrotchStitch · 14/10/2013 14:35

Ooh ooh, I finally have a bargain of sorts to share :)
I have just ordered myself a North Face gilet (after years of longing :o) from Blacks.
RRP £130, down to £99 on the website plus code vc10 got me an extra 10% off and free next day delivery. May also get 10.01% cashback but the code on Top Cashback didn't work so I used another- time will tell :o
Not an impulse present but if you are looking for one then nows the time

BlackStiltonBoots · 14/10/2013 14:37

Thanks ilove will have a look for those.

Reastie · 14/10/2013 14:38
