HATETHECOLD, wilkos have some nice wrapping paper. Two rolls for £3. Some are 8 metre rolls.
I remember seeing a few different kids designs, tartan, plain red or gold, red with white snowflakes and a silvery one.

littlesaintnickdrakes and flatmouse thanks for the info, just what I wanted to hear😃 It's a good time for me to trial Amazon prime again- then, I made two big orders last week and still managed to leave something out!

PridePrejudice that's a bit off of flavourly, was the charge on cancellation of the beer box or something else?

FireflyGirl · 23/11/2015 10:54

I'll check my bank statement, but I didn't see anything about a cancellation charge when I cancelled my Flavourly subscription, Pride - how did it notify you?

CelticPromise · 23/11/2015 10:56

Thankyou for the tip off about half price Playmobil- mustn't buy any more for DS now...

WhatYouTalkinBout · 23/11/2015 11:00

I don't think I was charged for cancelling mine either. I must go and check..

NewShoesTwoShoes · 23/11/2015 11:29

Thanks for the Kindle £25 off tip - JL are price matching also.

SundayBea · 23/11/2015 11:30

How do you get the flavourly beer for £4 please? I have tried using various codes but can only get £10 off?
In other news.. already excited to get my tree and decs up at the weekend! Not long now Xmas Grin

I am looking for a cozy onesie for my 7 year old boy, but don't want to spend a fortune - any ideas?

Scruffybear · 23/11/2015 11:41

ShebaQueen · 23/11/2015 11:49

countingdown · 23/11/2015 12:00

Thanks Sheba, some of those look great - he'd definitely approve!

notenoughbottle · 23/11/2015 12:06

I posted a few pages back, on this thread I think..., about the Flavourly t's and c's. Something to do with if you 'contract' yourself into it... Eg it works out cheaper for the first box £12 if you choose the three month subscription and £14 for the one month recurring one but not liable to a cancellation charge with the one month...

ExasperatedAlmostAlways · 23/11/2015 12:07

Some amazing deals at ELC for their black Friday offers
www.playpennies.com/black-friday/early-black-friday-deals-early-learning-centre-up-to-60-off-toys I also bought some craft stuff to do Xmas craft pictures with the kids, they had Xmas stickers, gold, green and silver sparkly paint and other stuff.

Confused, I pm'd you the Asos code.

BornToFolk · 23/11/2015 12:16

Thanks AFingerofFudge! Unfortunately nowhere near Gloucestershire but I'll check out my local Sainsbury's in hope.

wigglylines · 23/11/2015 12:23

outputgap thanks for the suggestion, Tiger are ace!

Sadly we don't have one in our town, but maybe I can try to get there before Christmas ...

CelticPromise · 23/11/2015 12:48

Groupon has 20% off local deals until 4pm with FLASH20.

ilovetosleep · 23/11/2015 12:59

I'm so gutted, I just had an email from M&S to say they can't fulfil my advent calendar order and they are refunding me :( But they are still delivering the bloody perfume that I only ordered to enable me to get the calendar! Has anyone else had this? I was so excited about it!

Mama1980 · 23/11/2015 13:15

Yankee candle have their advent calendars half price, you have to pay postage which is £3.99 or if you spend over £30 use the code BABY5 to get £5 off or free delivery over £30 until tomorrow, code and free delivery doesn't stack though. They say limited time only so not sure when the offer will expire.
Just got the carousel for my mama, she'll love it :)

trixymalixy · 23/11/2015 13:20

Oh no, ilovetosleep!

I was really worried I wasn't getting mine as they spent about half an hour trying to find my parcel in m&s, i would have been gutted if they hadn't eventually found it Sad.

I would email them and ask them to cancel the whole order or refuse to pick it up/accept delivery.

zipzap · 23/11/2015 13:28

I've just been in Sainsburys spending my double up nectar points (could they make that any more difficult if they tried?) and got a minecraft lego set for £19.99 normal price that was £34 on offer on Amazon.

I also managed to get a nice globe for dh that's a blackboard one - it's got the countries on there in a thin outline, but comes with chalk so you can draw on journeys, label countries yourself and generally have fun with it. I'm going to get him a box of coloured chalk to go with it too and hopefully he will have lots of fun with it with the dc as they enjoy maps too. And whilst it wasn't particularly a bargain at £15 I was able to get it for free with the bonus points as it counts as 'seasonal' (and is in line with what they've cost when I've seen them - albeit out of stock - in other places!)

PridePrejudice · 23/11/2015 13:29

I got a message on the website as I did it. I think I might have signed up for 6 or 12 months so maybe that's why.

M&S in Kingston had masses of beauty advent calendars just now

FabFlo · 23/11/2015 13:40

Does anyone know Basingstoke? I'm there for an afternoin soon and wondered what bargains I could get.

I know there is a Tiger which I am exicited about! Is the market any good? Cheapest place to park? Which other shops should I be lookong out for?

LexLoofah · 23/11/2015 13:41

ilove oh no, where are you? loads at Bristol Cribs Causeway last Friday but none in Bath when I called them. Worth calling your few local stores before you go. I would return perfume.

NotSoDesperateHousewife · 23/11/2015 13:44

The park and ride in Basingstoke is great, near the milestones museum and drive thru Costa

ExasperatedAlmostAlways · 23/11/2015 14:11

This will be my first time with the sainsburys double up nectar points. Do I just go up to the customer service desk with my card to get the vouchers?
