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

Also, saw the paper jam microphones in The Entertainer today for £5.99. (RRP £35) Not as good as Home Bargains but not bad if you don't have one near you.

sunshine thank you!

Poop monkeys, how very festive!

Dogmatix the SANTA code only works on the things with the weird looking pink Santa in the corner!

Cadence I ordered 3 different things individually on the 20th. One has arrived (ballerina shoes) £4,they came royal mail tracked but (as of now) are still showing on tracking as in NZ The other 2 are bigger orders so I assume bigger parcels and therefore cheaper being couriered. One is showing as released from UK customs and the other is winging its way to me. Have you checked your tracking? What have you ordered?

Stripes1 I ordered from debenhams today and found a 10% off code which works - it's NR42. Not a free p and p code I'm afraid, but it does work with their discounted items. The things I bought were already 30% off, so great to get an extra 10% on top! Also click and collect is free if you live near a store?

drank love the theory

cuddly Oh yes! I have to attempt to keep my log of the OP updated codes every day or it becomes too much to cope with, and when I see a good quote I stick it in ready for the next thread title hope that doesn't make me sound too nuts

tea sounds like they are just trying to cover over their mistake?

clr2014 to december being the only time you don't buy christmas pressies.

Got our christmas wrapping paper out of the loft earlier (we get them in january sales every year highly discounted and stash in loft) and noticed one paper roll has pictures of father christmas with 'christmas 2011' written on the paper. opps! Think DD will have to have that paper for her pressies (she's too young to realise the date)!

toowet 9???!!!!! That sounds like a pb, can't beat that one I'm afraid. Think my tops is about 4 or 5. Must do better!

Thanks for your post carmon. How do I track the items? I have a confirmation email with an order number. do i enter that somewhere on their website? I did order quite a few bits, maybe they're trying to get it all together. I had a pair of boots, a pair of joggers and a matching jacket, 2 tops, 2 jeans, tights, a cardigan and a bag. For a 3 year old so not too big a package though I don't think.

Cadence I also ordered on the 19th from pumpkin patch and quite a few items too. I was beginning to give up hope but got my dispatch email this afternoon so maybe don't give up hope yet. My dispatch had the tracking link so I am not sure you can track before then.

Duplo green small brick box is £7.46 on Amazon again be quick!
Theo Klein Police playset is £3.31 from £17.99 also Amazon, contains a gun though if you are bothered about that sort of thing.

Thanks busy, will keep my fingers crossed for an email tomorrow then :)

Finally got round to chasing my Telegraph seeds from 100 threads ago... Received some nonsense about 'an error with payment so cancelled your order'. When I replied expressing disappointment that no one had bothered to tell me, had a very nice reply apologising and saying they would send some free of charge. Hope they do, I'll be very pleased!

notso posted this upthread about Debenhams

'For free delivery add a cheap beauty item and use code SHA5 apparently or free delivery to store'

I added a L'Occitane soap for £4.05 and got free delivery which usually costs £3.99. There are little Burt's Bees things for not much more aswell.

I wasn't interested in them all those threads ago when everyone was talking about them but now my sister has asked me if I know of any deals on slush cups?

She needs 3.

If you buy the mirror this Thursday, there's a £5 I off a £40 shop voucher for Aldi :)

So, my DTSs have now decided they'd like sonic screwdrivers for Christmas.
Where's the best place to get them, oh wise bargain hunters?

It occurs to me that I haven't finished my shopping

I want to buy more for my DM and for my boss... she was so wonderful when I had a rough time recently and was really supportive. She has only just been promoted and has been through the mill a bit through professional procedures etc so just want to show my appreciation with something little... any ideas?

OH!!!

Thorntons deal of the day is half price on the £100 hamper!!

Got an email of Sandersons to say that my bird scarf has been dispatched and should arrive very soon! :)

Boots do the slushy cups as part of the 3 for 2 so £26 in total other wise amazon sometime price drop them to £8 each

Thanks notso, i'll have another look on the site

mipe no way?! I'm going to check mine now.....

Nope, nothing :(

Thanks Shiny will take a look at the xbox magazine, also have ordered him a ninja bunny bag and about to order some skins for his new controller, hopefully that will please a 12 yr old!

I have still got to phone Beer52 about their rubbish box of brew - with only 5 different beers out of 8...and most of them look rubbish!

Need to get the rest of my stuff done over the next week or so as we are seeing various family at different times, however don't feel ready yet!
