I'll keep my fingers crossed its dry.

Btw I dropped a huuuuuuge hint to DH about the baileys - do you think I shoud just tell him to go get me a bottle or do you think he might have one stashed?

Hoping to send DH out for Bailey's tomorrow. It would be fab for the hampers I'm doing (and for me).

notso · 24/10/2013 23:40

If he's anything like my DH he will be impervious to hints HmmGrin
I just asked DH if we could go via Sainsbo's tomorrow to see about the Baileys, we are already taking a detour to get two missed parcels, he wasn't impressed!
Have placed an order with Amazon, tried to cancel it had a confirmation email, and the changed the delivery option. Do you think it will still cancel?

Sainsbury's price match is only against Tesco and Asda unfortunately.

notso · 24/10/2013 23:42

Bum, that saved me a load of earache though so thanks BumpKitty

Re Flavourly - I've been waiting a while for my box so I emailed them. Their reply was v friendly, but basically said they only have 2 staff and were entirely overwhelmed (groupon code alone generated 8,000 orders) they have now got extra staff but they were struggling. I'd guess the system errors are to do with that, I'd check again in a few days before panicking!

Of course, if my box doesn't turn up soon I know I'll be stressed again anyway :)

I'll add this now and hopefully remember to post onto new thread tomorrow:

Fairy tales mini library £1.72. Good for stocking fillers maybe?

Yes they do. You need to purchase t least 8 items though and if it's not 10 pent cheaper then you get a vpucher.

I think I'll just say to go to morrisons first of all though. I'm going to tell him, he is usually good at hints but he's a bit distracted just now.

BumpKitty · 24/10/2013 23:50

Hmmm, looks like Asda matches with Morrisons but its system is a bit complicated. No problem notso I would have been straight down to Sainsburys too :)

Fisherprice little people Superfriends 7 pack is currently £16.63 on Amazon have been tracking on Camel for a while. I was looking at these in Tesco and there it was £5 for one figure in a car.

Kinect · 25/10/2013 00:07

Jake and The Never Land Pirates Jake's Magical Tiki Hideout

A pound & 3 pence over Camel's lowest price. Smyths have it instore at £35.99.

notso · 25/10/2013 00:09

Might see if I can nip to Morries tomorrow morning while DH drops the little DC off at PILs. I saw three or four staff members buying regular Baileys earlier so they must have some somewhere!

JaquelineHyde · 25/10/2013 00:32

I'm off to Morrisons in the morning for a bottle or two of Baileys.

I tried my free sample of chocolate Baileys tonight and its bloody horrible, made me feel sick. Yuck!

Amazon have got the film Elf on for £3.96 (!). Not sure how bargainous that is but it's a great film!

Barbeasty · 25/10/2013 06:48

NeverQuiteSure I've actually got all 3 recommendations. I'd say the star one is nice, and DD enjoys putting the star in it's place on each page, but it is just the story of the wise men.

The little board book tells the story simply.

The advent calendar one would probably be nice for your older DC. It seems simple language and is the whole story split into 24 bits, in number order.

Pogosticks · 25/10/2013 06:48

Re. The supercar experience, things to check are:
Do you actually get to drive it - some of the experiences are only as a passenger
How long it is valid for
Can you use it at weekends
How long is the experience

I've never bought one because whenever I have considered it its never turned out to be what I'm after due to one of the above.

roslet · 25/10/2013 06:53

Oreo and Frazzled, for the Toysrus 15% cash back do you need to be Premium Quidco members to get that? I've just registered (thank you for encouraging me to get round to this!) can only get 3% somehow. Otherwise it would be a fab tip!

MooseyMoo · 25/10/2013 07:05

I've had an email from H&M that they are packing my order. Nearly fainted as they normally take ages. I didn't order any Xmas stuff though...

JustBecauseICan · 25/10/2013 07:10

Thanks Rhonda!

notso · 25/10/2013 07:13

I've had an email too Moosey, my aprons, tea towels, and cushions will arrive soon.
My duvets, plates and bowls will arrive at a later date. Hopefully this side of Christmas!
My Christmas dishcloths have disappeared! They are not on the order and not in the cancelled part with some out of stock pajamas!
I NEED CHRISTMAS DISHCLOTHS!!!
