Moody id probably ask them to point out where in the terms and conditions that you signed up to, it says that minimum period is 12 months or you return the gift as despatched. They can't just change their ts & cd just to suit themselves!

Sorry, wondering soul, maybe it could only be used once Sad Are you an existing customer? (I am) Maybe you could email them and say you've heard others are getting codes, why not you?!
The magazine people seem to be making stuff up as they go along don't they.
I've got the colouring book of the Santa comes to series, I was a bit disappointed as I imagined the pictures to colour would all be of (in my case) Scottish places but they aren't, there's a general story and only a couple of recognisably Scottish bits. Re the Ulster problem, why not start between now and Christmas saying "let's watch xx on Ulster television, isn't UTV great etc - then by Xmas they'll know what you mean!

B&M have Spider-Man (original cartoon series) DVDs for 99p, I think there are 6 episodes per DVD. Also saw some character umbrellas (Hello Kitty/Disney Princess/Buzz Lightyear etc) for younger children at £2.49.

Finally got the PJs from Korea (off ebay). To report, the white/brown bear and the light peach/pink squirrel themed ones are very nice, quality comparable to gap. The xmas nordic theme and the blue elephants look lovely, but the quality looks a bit more primark. I suspect these will not hold as well wash after wash. I followed the size guide, and they look spot on.

V cheap ring here: on ebay

I ordered a different 60p ring from that seller and it seems fine for costume jewellery. If you look at their other items they seem to have a lot going very cheaply.

Re the magazine subscriptions has anyone just cancelled the DD and not emailed to say they are cancelling? That's what i've done and i'm now wondering if I should email, although it's the Conutry Living sub which everyone seems to be having a problem with so tempted to just not do anything and see what happens! I have had at least 2 mags already plus the wellies. I could email and say i'm cancelling and haven't received the wellies Blush

As I trawled yesterday's paper for a debenham's offer, I saw Tesco offering £15 iTunes gift cards 3 for £35. Til 10th Nov.

Also ran across a pamphlet with beeeautiful cashmere things at pure collection. 25% off and free delivery & returns with code YXC126

I have just received the 2 emails from Hearst (was it Cosmo and Company?). I replied that as I had neither received the gifts nor the magazines I had nothing to return and was cancelling due to the trial offer being misleading and the generally poor responses from customer services.

I didn't receive a gift from Glamour either so am just going to cut my losses on this one I think (and never buy from them again).

But then Cosmo popped through the door but I've paid for it so shall keep it. No gifts though so I have the feeling it's all been a big cock up and they are trying to claw back what they can.

Marking my place & saying thanks Thanks as ever to everyone on here.

I don't really need many more presents - just hard to buy for males for whom I'll probably resort to single malt.

I can't seem to leave the thread though!

I'm expecting my H&M aprons to be waiting for me at home later. I nipped out for 20 minutes on Friday & missed the delivery driver.

Oh, for anyone looking for PJ's, Tesco had some gorgeous kids ones in when I went over the weekend - about £6 per pair but nice cotton & lots of different characters.

Another vote here for murad customer service. Ordered with the original book and zestduo code then saw the glamour discount. Ordered a second lot with stackable codes, emailed them to cancel first lot and they've replied today saying its been sorted Smile

Just hope I still get all the goodies now Blush

I'm now trying not to buy anything else! I'm pretty much finished.

Big thanks and Flowers to whoever mentioned checking out wooden kitchens in Costco, I've just had a huge one delivered for my toddler and it looks amazing, was over £40 cheaper than the High Street RRPs!

Although I am after extra sets of bargainous wooden play food, should anyone spot any Grin
