HimandHer yes I used Asda last year, no subs, here on time - I just didn't get the slot I actually could have done with but am much more organised this year Smile

FriskyHenderson · 23/11/2013 08:24

Tesco priority slots are coming out on Wednesday.

has anyone had their pumpkin patch order despatched yet? mine seems to say its coming from Auckland New Zealand Confused ...how long am I likely to be waiting??!

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 23/11/2013 08:34

Tiredoftrains-I used thrm last year and the order came in about 10 days from ordering

tiredoftrains · 23/11/2013 08:36

JustasmallGless · 23/11/2013 08:37

Ihopeyousteponalegopiece, thanks for replying re iPad mini.
Apple are pretty good with warranty etc so wold be happy to buy from elsewhere if cheaper.
I do have a JL credit card for the points so I could justify it that way if I do buy from JL.
Hate it not being a bargain!

Cheers waitmonkey

imnotweirdimlimitededition I also asked about Lindt chocolates so thanks too from me!

SilveryMoon · 23/11/2013 09:06

Anyone here have recommendations for either the innotab 3 or leappad 2 power? Which one is best to get for a 5yo?

CadenceRoastingByAnOpenFire · 23/11/2013 09:06

Has everyone who ordered from Pumpkin Patch had their orders dispatched? I haven't heard a peep from them :(

Photobox up to 50% off personalised Christmas gifts. I think mobile phone cases are included in that, I remember someone was after them in previous thread. Offer ends Monday.

Dorothy Perkins 24% off party wear for 24 hours.

Someone in the previous thread asked for recommendations for donations for women's aid, sorry can't remember who it was. How about the hide n squeak eggs linked to upthread? Good price on amazon. I'm going to get some of these to donate. I'm also going to get some squinkies packs from Poundland, they seem popular here. If I think of anything else I'll post again.

For anyone looking for a tablet for their DC, QVC have one coming up by archos. It is a tablet but set up for kids. £90 but on 3 easy payments. They are showing it in the next hour. £90 is may be not a bargain but 3 easy payments might help.

Crutchlow35 · 23/11/2013 09:08

Oh and I just got a good asda slot! Basket it full of booze as I couldn't think what else to order just yet!

MissBeehiving · 23/11/2013 09:08

Oh, thank god for that, I will now longer have that knot of anticipation is my stomach when WaitMonkey is trying to finish a thread Grin

I have mostly finished now but am waiting for ready made hampers to come down in price and seeing what other bargains are available really close to Christmas.

Hawkmoth · 23/11/2013 09:14

My pumpkin patch order is also coming from Auckland. Very exciting! Well, as long as it comes in time for DD's birthday so the baby isn't wearing her brother's cast off filthy babygrows. Sadly one of the dresses I ordered was out of stock, but with free p&p it's still v bargainous.

Sending DD to a party today with the hamster bundle as the present. Glad I'm not dropping off because it looks just a little bit twatty to give such a massive box!!!

Chocolateteabag · 23/11/2013 09:28

Morning all

My family are starting to get their requests in finally Hmm

BIL would like some "non old man" sheepskin slippers - budget is 20-30 and can only find them for £40+ at the moment?

Wineandchoccy · 23/11/2013 09:28

What age are the zhu zhu hamsters for? I have a 4 year old and a 7 year old birthday to buy for?

I'm almost done just need 90 year old Grandad who is housebound but loves sweets and my Dad who likes wine and rubbish music!

busyprocrastinating · 23/11/2013 09:51

I haven't heard a peep from Pumpkin Patch either. I really, really want that stuff too

riskit4abiskit · 23/11/2013 09:59

Hi I ordered from pumpkin patch I think on Tuesday, got a dispatch email fri (smug). I think tho that I got in there just before I saw it mentioned here so perhaps its just volume of sales. Email said they aim to get you clothes within 7 days of Ordering. Hth.

4 fingerlights on amazon for 79p if anyone's interested still

niffynoo · 23/11/2013 10:03

chocolateteabag tkmaxx had some of real sheepskin non old man style slippers when I went in on Thursday.

Not heard anything from Pumpkin Patch about dispatch either and I really love the stuff I ordered Sad

CadenceRoastingByAnOpenFire · 23/11/2013 10:03

busy, me too, I want it more than anything else I've ordered here, be just my luck for it to not materialise. I picked up some gorgeous bits and what great prices! Fingers crossed for both of us.

riskit I ordered mine around 5pm Tuesday so maybe they're working their way slowly through all their orders and I'll hopefully get an email soon!

SpottyTeacakes · 23/11/2013 10:03

Magazine boutique are so shit. I bought a years sub for my sister for Christmas and they haven't sent me anything I can actually give her (even though the ts&cs state they do) so I emailed them asking for something. They sent an automated reply about the free gift being oos (?!) so I said that wasn't what I asked! Now they're saying e cards are only available at time of ordering ffs Angry

CadenceRoastingByAnOpenFire · 23/11/2013 10:04

Sorry niffy, x post, fingers crossed for you too!
