In other news, just spotted the Amazon Reading thingy at Topcashback is now payable, so run off everyone and have it paid! That will cover some of the fivers gone to Barclays!

Me, dp and dd all used TCB accounts to get that, but share a bank account, so will wait until mine has gone into the a/c before collecting theirs.

Thanks joymaker and no still no voucher. People on HUKD are reporting money going out but others are saying it won't go through. I'm giving up for today anyway apart from the 1D album on Black Friday.

I'm sort of done may have to deep freeze my card.

carmon and dandelions, do you mind me asking when you ordered your Pumpkin Patch stuff? I ordered mine 5om Tues and nothing came today :(

drank Grin what an image!

mootime, what about keeping some gifts aside for birthdays?

TeaAndCakeOrDeath · 25/11/2013 16:47

snowgirl its a one-off jumper so its not even like they've got confused and sent the wrong size from a batch they had, they've said on the post 'medium' and on the label it says 'large'... and a pretty generous large too!

My DP is teetering on the line between tolerance and losing the plot. We had three Blush parcels delivered today containing deals from this thread.

I, through manically nervous laughter, explained they are for DS' Christmas Eve Hamper.

"His what?"

"His Christmas Eve hamper...you know. "

He was Hmm and I was Blush while trying to desperately convince him of the magic of Christmas...

just being a single parent has it perks.. not having to to get an oh on side Grin

CadenceRoastingByAnOpenFire · 25/11/2013 17:09

Tea, definitely contact the seller and if they won't give you a full refund (and pay for return postage because it was their error) contact eBay, they'd definitely be on your side if the seller listed the wrong size!

I'll do a lot for a Xmas bargain but I won't put fairy lights on my nipples . . .

Asda and Matalan have Xmas jumpers that are much cheaper than Primark - nicer too (even the horrible ones are nicer if that makes sense). Matalan always seem to have codes and if you ask staff in store, they're usually OK about telling you about any that are around.

For anyone else looking for Harry Potter things, the lego figures are all 99p and free postage on ebay which is great as you can't get the little packs any more, and you can choose what you need this way.

Still looking for a 'Freeing Dobby' set that is cheap though - should have bought when it was £12.99 Sad.

CarmonEileen · 25/11/2013 17:23

Cadence I ordered coats first around 2pm on the 20th. That is showing as released from UK customs on the email I got from info@pumkinpatch. Boots and shoes in separate orders early evening same day. Both still showing as in AucklandGrin but shoes turned up via r.m this aft. Couldn't believe how quickly they got here but need the coats more than the shoes Wink . I had email to confirm order then tracking email later, check your spam folder.

santandhishappybandofelves · 25/11/2013 17:27

Ive had an email today to say they are dispatching one (of my 3) orders, I think they are just working through them

cuddlymoomoo · 25/11/2013 17:28

Ignore the Harry Potter figure thing Sad - they're not 99p, that's just to lure you in . . . Angry.

TeaAndCakeOrDeath · 25/11/2013 17:39

I have sent a message to the seller, I feel a bit mean but I really can't use it without spending more money having it taken in...

Just been going through my list to see what has still not been delivered and from this thread I'm waiting on the Dove set, the Body shop set and the Sainsburys scarf, has anybody received any of those?!

DangerousMouse · 25/11/2013 18:15

I have emailed the Sainsbury scarf people and have had a response. They said that they had run out of stock, but have just received more stock in, so will be working through the orders. Hopefully they will arrive soon.

Funkybutnot · 25/11/2013 18:15

Oh drank you made me laugh! So funny!

hermioneweasley · 25/11/2013 18:19

Dangerous, thanks for the scarf update, was wondering what had happened to mine

Pumpkin patch clothes not arrived yet either

hallowisitmeyourelookingfor · 25/11/2013 18:20

Dangerous, sounds a bit like fobbing off to me! I'm not holding out any hope, but my one was just for me so no problem really.

LucyTheValiant · 25/11/2013 18:23

Colour changing pyramid alarm clock £2.75 on Amazon - might make a good stocking filler.

Burts Bees Tips and Toes set 8.66 instead of 12.99, also Amazon.

LongStripedScarfWearer · 25/11/2013 18:23

I have just managed to order Monopoly 2013 for £6.33. Fab! Thanks

CadenceRoastingByAnOpenFire · 25/11/2013 18:25

tea, don't feel mean. I sell a fair bit on eBay and I'd be mortified if I listed a size incorrectly and would want the buyer to let me know so I could sort it.
