‘The wise men had their star, the secret service have their codes, swingers apparently have pampas grass in their front gardens and MN bargain hunters have the Ikea goat’ Thread 20

[Reastie]

20th 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).

I used the Isme/Very New Customer codes for £30 off a £60 order. It worked on Sale items, bagging me a £89 bike for £39 :-)

I have one at last ! The £1 coffee trial mentioned last thread - I've got a code to get £6.95 of coffee for free . Go to pact coffee and use code 'trysome' to get first bag worth £6.95 free. They said code only lasted 24hours and that was about 20 hours ago so might not work for long. You just need to cancel subscription once they post first bag (I've just done it and it's easy). I got it as I started signing up for the £1 coffee and then decided I didn't need it so didn't carry it through but they had my email (and are obviously desperate for my custom!).

Any dinosaur themed presents for a 3yo and a 4yo? As cheap as possible!

How about a hatching dinosaur egg Henrietta ?

My DS was given one for his 5th birthday and I was a bit about it, but it was one of his favourite presents. I think he's still secretly convinced that it's going to come to life at some point.

*i should add that my 3 year old DD also loved it, so suitable for a 3/4 year old.

Bloody Hell!!

Marking my place. I saw a woman in Home Bargains today getting the 99p lego books I mentioned on the last thread, we had a mini discussion about "present boxes", I did think about directing her here or asking if you was a mner

Oh, and while I think on it, I use Flubit you sign up, c&p the link to the thing you want and it comes back to you with a better offer. I got the lego advent calender for £11ish, after putting in the Amazon link (amazon were selling for £13.50) If you do that with loads of stuff, then you end up saving a fair bit.

I have been real life shopping
I saw a Small e reader in WHSmith (I wanted to say Nook but it could be a Kobi ) Anyway it was down to £29.99 :)
And while not actually bargainous in the true sense of the thread, I have bought cards, paper, ribbon etc in M&S on their 3for2, craft bits in Wilkinsons for very little and Christmas socks in Sainsburys for £2.25 a pair (25% off)
I feel extremely festive :)

CrotchStitch (great name btw) DH has the Kobo mini and it's bloody brilliant. Books are same price as kindle (often cheaper because of regular codes) and the internet is easier to access. It's honestly the best present I've ever bought him!

Ilove, Argos is doing the my little pony crystal empire playset half price when you buy the wedding castle set if thats cheaper than Amazon? My dd is desperate for the mlp equestrian girls dolls but I am struggling to find the ones she wants, never mind a good price for them too

Peppa Pig Palace Value set seems to be back in stock at Argos for half price at 29.99.

oreo you win a baby pampas grass plant!!

awww just had an email from murad about my cancelled order due to being over subscribed

Just called Hearst Magazines about the Oasis watch (company magazine) and asked where it had got to as I ordered at the end of September.

He checked and said it went out the same day as the Rhianna perfume!

So I explained I received the perfume weeks ago but still no watch. He checked stock details and said it was all definitely in stock and said he would re-send it asap. If it hasn't been received in 14 days I need to ring up and check what has happened.

Anyone still to receive their watch I would suggest making a quick phone call to Hearst and checking if it has been sent or not.

Aw Keli - when did you order? Hope we're all not going to get orders cancelled

Reminds me, Jacqueline, I called CL to ask about my wellies, they ran out, but had a list of people to send to. I wasn't on it, so have been added. The two chaps I spoke to were really excellent, and it's worth ringing up to chase them. FWIW, I got my watch a month ago.

keli, when did you order? And what does it say in your order history on their site? I ordered just after 2pm yesterday and haven't had an email (but then I didn't get the order confirmation email either) and my order is still showing as "Payment Received".

Murad cancelled my order. I ordered yesterday morning. Expected but I'm gutted!

Damn it, I ordered after that so I'll await the cancellation email. I do hate it when companies don't stand by their offers (even though this probably overwhelmed them!)

Mine was order 143476 and I haven't had it cancelled yet. Wonder if i was lucky enough to beat the cut off point.

Hmm. I ordered the Murad late yesterday afternoon, and still have no cancellation....I checked my trash folder as well.

Of course, I have no way of knowing what has been delivered as I don't get to my parcel mountain until 20th December or thereabouts. So I might be that madwoman hurtling round B and M and Home Bargains on Christmas Eve because nothing arrived! I think I shall presume my Oasis watch and Body Shop gift set never arrived and make contingency plans.

Mine was cancelled too - ordered yesterday morning

Ring Murad and enquire.

I made my order yesterday at about 1pm and even though I haven't had any email from them she confirmed everything was ok and my order status is now showing as processing! This changed from payment received about half an hour after I called them.

143479 was my order. (me and theimpossible girl were obviously frantically checking out at the same time!)

My order number was 143469
