Thread 5: don't forget your Christmas goat

[Reastie]

As usual, info on the next post. Apologies for anything I didn't pick up on, please do let me know and I'll add it for next time.

Festive sprinkles for everyone

Delores t shirt

I got all excited comfortzone as I love the birds one in that link, but it's pvc. Do they have different ones in store? I have one near me, I may have to venture out into the real world...

I seem to remember last year there was a deal on a bit like spicery but for beers...anyone have a clue?

Thread 5 - wow!

I may be late with this news but rumour has it club card double up starts on 2nd November

Probably beer 52 noman

If you sign up to Tesco Christmas Savers they hold back all your vouchers and then send them to you in November. Also you can "top-up" with your own money and they will give you bonus vouchers.

Your top-up vouchers last for 2 years, so you don't have to spend them all at Christmas time. You can't use your top-up vouchers in the Boost, but you can use your bonus vouchers. So for example DH and I are putting £200 top-up in to the Christmas Savers and they will send us £12 in bonus vouchers. We can then exchange the £12 for a £24 Boost Voucher.

Hope that makes sense. The deadline for topping up this year is 22nd of October!

Thank you Reastie for the new thread!

Delores it's well worth the trip outdoors to Dunelm :-) They have rolls and rolls of tablecloths on rolls and other fabric options various prices per metre. Great designs. It's my favourite shop

If you are going to buy from Dunelm, do click and collect via Topcashback. You pay in store as normal, and can even reserve sale stuff in your local store, but you get a percentage back. They are pretty quick paying out too.

I have a Matalan code for 20% off new collections, ends tomorrow. It's a single use code I think would anyone like it?

Checking in. Thanks Reastie. Think I'm done with toys, just have the adults present and food/booze to buy now.

Oooh, new thread!

pobspits that's brilliant, thank you so much!!!

NoManJan I got some last year from flavourly. Might be worth checking them out - last year I paid £4 for 4 bottles of craft beer delivered. I topped it up from Aldi (who have Hobgoblin and a Halloween themed one called Dunkel Fester for £1.25 a bottle at the moment).

Doc Mcstuffins set of 3 small cuddlies half price at toys r us £7.46.

Checking into the new thread :)

Just as a heads up if you're thinking of ordering from teefury

Their sizes are HUGE...I ordered 2xl for db who is a 2xl here and there's not a chance in hell that they'd fit unless his girlfriend climbed in to

I contacted them about returning and you have to send them international signed for which for two tshirts is £17.65 and reorder them rather then exchange but they won't honour the discount code I used on the original order again (for first time customers) and I obviously have to pay postage again.

I'm really disappointed in their customer service tbh...and gutted because he'd LOVE the tshirts but I just cant be essentially another £25 (by the time I've paid for postage) out of pocket

There's 30% off everything at photobox.co.uk until Monday. Particularly love the 'retro prints' - polaroids, in other words. Nothing from my lifetime should yet be called retro!

And now I'm stuck with two very large Dr who tshirts that I paid £35 for

Ooh, that 30% off ends today. Bet there'll be other offers before Christmas.

Pamela thank you sooo much for the Cbeebies panto heads up. My DS loved watching it on tv last year, so I was hoping to apply for tickets this year. I had checked the website over the summer, but no info - just check back in the autumn. And all of a sudden the deadline is tomorrow and I would have missed it, so I'm v grateful!

Now just to hope that we're lucky enough to get tickets

There are some t-shirts on Matalan with an Initial on the front, reduced to £1.50!

100% cotton, lots of mediums have gone though. Would be great with some nice pyjama bottoms for Christmas.

Reastie has a Matalan code at the top of the thread

Ihope that sucks.

Another plea for a Disney code? I've looked through the last thread, and I can find people talking about it, but not the code.

Any ideas?

Just bought a playmobil school bus for £15 in tesco, and they had the corsair pirate ship for £12.50, a nice carousel wooden train table for £30, and teenage mutant ninja turtle figures that fire stuff (Michelangelo fires little pizzas!) for £7.50

The little pirate ship from Tesco is lovely - birthday present for DS and a hit with his sisters too.

Has anyone bought the cath kidston style bits from Aliexpress? They look fab and the prices are super.
