Right, try to remember the names of everyone I need to thank - this thread moves too fast for me! Thanks to Voldemort, brilliant codes, I don't know who I am buying for, but thinking pamper kits for all my female friends so something small from those gifts will be nice to add.

I am going for the zest and company subscriptions, I think as far as I can tell that 3 months is the offer, they just hope that you forget to cancel after that, so therefore end up paying full price - if you just cancel the subscription, it isn't going to be worth their while to hassle you over it.

Thanks SweetPea - I will be trying that code for Beer52. I can't spend too much on DH, he has been out of work since June and so some little treats and a day out for the both of us is enough.

Thanks to Mouse and Mellow for the heads up over preschool gifts - you are right, will just get one of those bags of chocolate buttons from poundland for them all - 20 small bags, which is perfect.

Right, off to do my magazine subscriptions. I have most things now, apart from the men in the family, and this Chelsea and skipper photo funfor my DD - she has been going on about it for weeks, we found one on ebay, bidding at the moment, but everywhere else they are £25 - which really annoys me having to think about paying that for a horrible piece of tat - when a lovely Playmobile set is about that much...

She really wants it though - anyone seen it cheaper, or have a code for anywhere? Think I might find it in John Lewis, Tesco, etc.

Albelli photos still have a code - GIFT for £15 off an order - I am making £15.95 photobooks for granparents, for just 95p and postage.

For the magazine subscriptions for the dove hair stuff, here are the T and C -

Ts and Cs: Offer valid for UK subscriptions only. Subscriptions may not include promotional items packed with the magazine. All orders will be acknowledged and you will be advised of start issue within 14 days. This offer cannot be used in conjunction with any other subscription offer and closes 11th December 2013. This offer is for £3 for your first 3 issues of Company followed by £10 every 6 (saving 33%) (this pricing is for Direct Debit only) Free gift available while stocks last. Should we run out of gifts you will be offered an alternative. Subscriptions may be cancelled at any time during your trial period - after your trial period your subscription will run a six month minimum subscription term. Please allow 28 days for gift delivery.

So fine to cancel I think! Annoyingly it is showing the start date as January - so that will mean not arriving in time for xmas I guess?

MissBeehiving · 03/11/2013 11:17

Just ordered the Murad set - thank you VN, Rhonda and Moosey

Oreocrumbs · 03/11/2013 11:19

Great work on the Murad deal ladies! Many Flowers.

Did you all remember to use quidco for murad? 15%cb.

Reastie · 03/11/2013 11:30

Gah, I'm hovering over the 'buy' button for Murad. I don't really need it though....... I've thrown my zest away already - does anyone know what the free zest gift thing is?

Homebase has 50% off all artificial Christmas trees this weekend.

On the way to work last night, I passed my first house with the decorations up!! The whole front of the house was covered in lights Shock Grin.

They might have their decs up, but do you think they will have done as much shopping as us? I doubt it.

Ihopeyoudance · 03/11/2013 11:33

Someone was asking about Jellycat soft toys. 15% off at World of Bears I bought one recently from them and it was really quick delivery even though I only paid for 2nd class. They were cheaper than anywhere else a few weeks ago even when having to pay for delivery.
Hth.

SpottyTeacakes · 03/11/2013 11:45

Reastie it was the sanctuary set

AliceinSlumberland · 03/11/2013 11:48

girlsyearapart · 03/11/2013 12:03

I tried argos today henrietta and it said they were having a website refurb

ValiumQueen · 03/11/2013 12:16

Murad bought. For me. Thank you xxx I would feel a bit uncomfortable buying anti ageing stuff for someone else. Although looking in the mirror this morning it may be too late for me.

Re:Glamour. I got the Murad kit when I thought I was gonna get Dove. Did I make a mistake?

AliceinSlumberland · 03/11/2013 12:40

anyone for a £6 Xmas jumper?

JaquelineHyde · 03/11/2013 12:55

Popped into Mothercare yesterday for a highchair and found load of Crayola colouring stuff and sketch pads at half price. I picked up 3 packs that should have been £12.99 reduced to £6.50 and then at the till they applied a further 20% discount so that reduced them down to £5.20!

Worth a look if you are near by.

FrantasticO · 03/11/2013 13:00
Flowers Murad purchased!

Elemis shower cream £3.90 + £2.99 p&p

OneUp · 03/11/2013 13:08

How do the flavourly codes work? I've put the codes in but it still seems to want to charge me £15 for a box.

SurvivalOfTheUnfittest · 03/11/2013 13:14

Frazzled, i'm afraid i'd say a bit young for an 8 year old, especially as it is made by playskool, which is on the box in sizeable letters.

QueenofClean · 03/11/2013 13:18

I can't find The Hut sweatshirt & jeans deal or any of the other deals. Can someone point me in the right direction please.

Sukebind · 03/11/2013 13:19

Sylvanian piglet triplets just over half-price - I can't believe they were £20 to begin with!

BabyDubsEverywhere · 03/11/2013 13:20

I am desperately trying to catch up - can you tell me what this Beer52 is - I have googled to no avail - I need it, whatever it is!

bluesky · 03/11/2013 13:34

20% discount from Karen Millen autumn/winter range, store or online with code YOU3 (3-9 Nov)

LaTrucha · 03/11/2013 13:35

Imaginext IS fab shuffle. We bought this boat for DS last Christmas and he's played with it loads. It is very sturdy. He even rides it across the fornt room.

zipzap · 03/11/2013 13:36

For those people that have already had the flavourly boxes, how big are the things in it? The bacon jam for example - is it the size of a full ordinary jam jar or smaller like one of those little individual pots that you would would have in a hotel for breakfast? And the olives - would there be say 10 olives or 50? Etc etc...

Trying to work out sizes but from the pix but failing miserably!

Also not clear if I buy now if I'll get this box or a different one, it's not very clear!

Theimpossiblegirl · 03/11/2013 13:40

Just ordered the Murad set with the stacked codes. I think it will be for me.
:)
Thanks

LaTrucha · 03/11/2013 13:40

some are full size (a dressing and a pasta sauce) but the bacon jam and the olives were small

SpottyTeacakes · 03/11/2013 13:44

The bacon jam was the size of, say, a mint sauce you'd get from tesco. Popcorn the size of an individual packet of crisps
