If you spot any of these links or codes not working please post on the thread in bold so I can’t miss it or pm me Thanks

Sorry, couldn’t resist that quote for the thread title!

Well I have ordered a dominoes (thanks for the heads up on the bogof!) and I am settling in to do some shopping while they get hyped up waiting for the delivery. Clearly I am having a very exciting Friday night and you are all overcome with jealousy.

(Also, bonus, I just got paid £50 in cash back from Quidco! So technically my next £50 of Christmas shopping is free. Right?)

LucyTheValiant · 22/11/2013 19:17

(By they I meant DC. I doubt Dominoes find my order that exciting tbh.)

letsgotostonehenge · 22/11/2013 19:22

ahhhh, thread title was good, but then you click on it and it's a bit of a let down Sad

Just marking place also..
I think I've finished ds2's (7) things just need to sort ds1 (15) it's so much harder for a teenager than a child who still believes in all the magic :(

TheOneWithTheHair · 22/11/2013 19:27

Yeah. May I be the first to congratulate waitmonkey on finishing a thread at last! Grin

Can't believe I forgot about Dr Who. Blush

I'm pretty Jealous Lucy! But I'm still iffy and sickly so don't think pizza is they way forward. Had one the other night and didn't even manage a slice Sad.

vic1981 · 22/11/2013 19:28

Thanks for the M and S code , Oreocrumbs!

WaitMonkey · 22/11/2013 19:29

Cat, I did for now. But who is going to take the thread up to 1002 posts ? [eye's up fellow bargain thread members suspiciously]

SpottyTeacakes · 22/11/2013 19:31

So jealous of dominos our nearest is forty minutes away Envy

wishing I'd ordered a snitch nowEnvy jealous

WaitMonkey · 22/11/2013 19:32

Hair, I've finished the thread several times before, then someone turns up and adds two more posts. Every time. [sob]. Sad Thanks for the congratulations though. Maybe this time. [unlikely emotion].

If anyone could make use of a voucher for a Nails Inc nail varnish please let me know by pm. It's the one that came with the Glamour subscription and is needs to be collected from House of Fraser - Bluewater, Bristol, Cardiff, Glasgow, Nottingham or Harvey Nics, Edinburgh or Debenhams Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester or Fenwicks in Newcastle. Needs to be used by December 5th.

Will pop it in the post if anyone can make use of it.

TheOneWithTheHair · 22/11/2013 19:32

But it says no more messages this time?

LucyTheValiant · 22/11/2013 19:33

By the way, has everybody heard of Give as You Live? It's free, you add the toolbar, and when you shop a % of what you spend goes to charity at no extra cost to you. Usually it is 1 or 2% but it all adds up - I've raised about £20 over the last few months which isn't loads but it's better than nothing, isn't it? It's really no hassle at all, you just download Smile

FriskyHenderson · 22/11/2013 19:35

How very dare everyone now be selling Furbies cheaper than the previously bargain price I got them for Sad

Nix01 · 22/11/2013 19:46

Does anyone know where I can star shaped bowls like these but cheaper ? I need a few sets. poundland type scenario would be perfect as I probably won't use them again

KateShmate · 22/11/2013 19:52

Are there any similar recent codes for Vertbaudet?

missmakesstuff · 22/11/2013 19:55

I am so nearly sorted thanks to this thread! I am still waiting on mag freebies and actual mags, although Hearst have taken my 3 quid...
I am still looking for cheap baskets or alternatives for hampers, we have 6 to make, also need to find something for an 11 yr old who only likes Xbox apparently, getting a new 360 controller so wonder if I can get something to go with that!

Did anyone get a beer 52 box, ours arrived today, but all the beers are the same as the last one, and on the box, only 5 different beers in 8 bottles! It's a bit rubbish if dh doesn't like some, as there are two bottles of them..not sure if its a mistake or not...

ThisIsMeNow · 22/11/2013 19:56

Helloooo! Grin

Thanks reastie Thanks grand job you're doing.

My friend keeps telling me about all these bargains here sister keeps finding 'on this website' and they're all from this thread!
Can only assume she's one of us! Smile can't wait to meet her!
Wonder if she'll have the bird scarf, bag and blazer on?!

Pogosticks · 22/11/2013 19:59

My chocolate tasting club things arrived today, yippee, along with a request for items for school chocolate tombola...

TooWetToWoo · 22/11/2013 20:02

Hurray WaitMonkey Wine Cake

Sukebind · 22/11/2013 20:03

Pogosticks - that's handy! I have had 2x letters home about the school secrets room which says they are not accepting books - I was planning to give my bargainous Snail and Whale and Night Before Christmas books from this thread as part of the stuff I sent in. Now I have to go and buy more stuff... Sad

SilveryMoon · 22/11/2013 20:05

Marking place. I'm going to start shopping over the weekend. I'll be list drafting tonight with giftees, ideas, budgets etc and then the price comparison/bargain hunt starts properly.

lucysmam · 22/11/2013 20:08
