18th 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).

Apologies that the long code list isn't fully updated from the last thread - I've been ill and haven't been able to keep up. If there's anything good which I can add to the next OP please will you fill me in and I'll add it? Thanks

Thanks MooseyMoo, That DKNY perfume is my favourite. Just told my husband it was on offer and he told me just to get it, his treat. Awww, so then I bought an aftershave for his Christmas using the extra £5 off discount. Result all around. I'm feeling festive this morning, think I may go and have my first play of the year of he Pogues - Fairytale of New York. Is it too early?

Reastie · 25/10/2013 10:45

dosey do you have any toddlers to buy for? I bought one for DD (realising before I bought it it was pretend Wink ) and she will love pretending to tell the time. Could put it inside a make your own cracker with a little chocolate or something as a present to make it more exciting.

Thank you very much Oreo, I've upgraded my new account to Premium. Apparently it takes a day for the Premium offers to work so I'll try to be patient. Quidco's customer service is excellent and they are trying to speed up my upgrade. Wish I'd joined ages ago. Thank you again.

The postman has just laughed at DH. He was bringing in yesterday's parcels from the sorting office when today's arrived.

I feel bad.

But I am finished.

Titsalinabumsquash · 25/10/2013 11:49

Accessorize 3 for 2 on all jewellery.

Chockywockydoodah · 25/10/2013 12:02

Re wooden watches, I agree that they are great for toddlers. I got one for my DD and she loved wearing a 'watch' like me and the fact that its like a bit of jewellry. She got it in her stocking last Christmas and still wears it now.

countingdown · 25/10/2013 12:05

craftynclothy thank you very much for that - I guess they might still arrive then!

TheIggorcist · 25/10/2013 12:14

DM has asked for Olay products for Christmas. Didn't realise it comes in about 57 varieties now! None very "gifty" though.
If anyone hasn't looked at the Works 25% off offer (code is on site) then I would recommend it - got a few hard-to-buy-for people sorted last night, for a quarter off and free delivery, AND got a good whack of cash back with TCB!

Theonlyoneiknow · 25/10/2013 12:16

Could someone please link to the wooden watches? Thank you! Xx

BeaWheesht · 25/10/2013 12:18
