That quote tickled me after a poster asked for a bargainous parachute Xmas Grin

Look at posts 2 and 3 for links and quotes

Has the sports direct free delivery code finished please? If not does somebody have it? And also I wondered if anyone knows of a reasonable sized swimming bag for an 8 year old boy, ideally a character ? Nowhere near a home bargains. Thanks

woodwaj · 15/12/2015 20:51

cadence I'm so glad you go them.

Its the little things!! Haha.

RoastieToastieReastie · 15/12/2015 20:52

Toblerone you could put it in a big box and fill with balloon(s) with helium so when he opens the present the balloons fly out (and could attach the ticket to the string of a balloon). Just don't let him open it somewhere they might escape outside and fly away!

I have a £10 Boden voucher code if anyone wants it....

To be added on top of the 25% off and free delivery/returns. Valid until 17th.

Questionsquestionsquestions · 15/12/2015 21:23

Yes please bluesky if it's still going?

FilthyRascal · 15/12/2015 21:35

thanks so much Betty, Jason and Ilove - looking at all those things now.
I'm not sure whether she likes acrylic or watercolours, she used to be really into painting but hasnt done any in years and I cant remember!

The set youve linked to looks perfect but there are no reviews which always makes me nervous! Just going to check it out on CCC and see. Would be great to have it just done though as I've only just started shopping really!

my mum is so tricky to buy for, I never know when I'm going to get it right!

zipzap · 15/12/2015 21:38

I've just ordered my turkey from Waitrose - it's last orders for them today... Just in case anybody else hasn't remembered to do this either! Unfortunately not very bargainous Xmas Sad but at least we will have turkey

I've had them from there before and was planning to try M&S this year - had spotted that both of them had last order dates today, so have just sat down to do it (was planning on being really organised and ordering in early november but it's been a bad 6 weeks so quite amazed that I've managed to get it done tonight!) only to discover that whilst they had the date of the 15th Dec plastered all over their site - they didn't have the time next to it on the pages I was looking at... and their deadline was 5pm [grump]

so waitrose it is again... at least I have one reserved now if all else fails!

Has anybody tried the Aldi ones? We have a new aldi nearby, just wondering if they are nice or not? I've tried some of their meat (albeit not turkey or even chicken yet) and some has been very nice, some has been fairly tasteless, so don't want to risk it on that basis!

AdmiralCLingus · 15/12/2015 21:42

Smyths had lots of clangers toys reduced to half price today. My aunt bought dd a soup dragon and an iron chicken for 2.49 each instead of 5 (to go with the home planet, boat and figure set she's already bought her) and ahead bought herself a set of 5 figures for £5

two2 · 15/12/2015 21:49

I have a code for £10 off when you spend £50 on any fragrance from the white company if anyone can use

BuffyFairy · 15/12/2015 22:07

Does anyone have a discount code for Brewly please? earlybird no longer works.

houseHuntinginmanchester · 15/12/2015 22:07

Anyone know any working la redoute codes for the 50% off that worked on sale items too?

Have tried:
2614, 8565, 8571

iloveblue · 15/12/2015 22:22

Not sure if it has been posted already but Gap have 30% off full price items and Free delivery with code GIVEGAP. They are still delivering in time for Christmas up until the 18th December. They have some great sale stuff too. Just ordered some lovely socks and pumps for my two. Smile

woodwaj · 15/12/2015 22:27

Househunting try 2627

houseHuntinginmanchester · 15/12/2015 22:29

wood not working :( it's saying I need to log in to verify for eligibility.

woodwaj · 15/12/2015 22:35

I think it's for new customers. Do you have a second email or can you use OH details?

houseHuntinginmanchester · 15/12/2015 22:42

Yes certainly! Could I have the same house address though ?

y0rkier0se · 15/12/2015 23:24

Yes househunting I've done it but did click and collect instead Smile

houseHuntinginmanchester · 16/12/2015 01:12

I tried doing the same address but different email address on dhs name, but it wouldn't accept any of the codes or even yours wood.

Sigh.

ThenLaterWhenItGotDark · 16/12/2015 06:21

Check your Johnny B Boden emails, I just got another £10 voucher in an email! [santa]

ThenLaterWhenItGotDark · 16/12/2015 06:38

The code gives you also 25% off and free del. (the website code at the moment is just 10%) Am guessing as it expires tomorrow, the sale starts on Friday....Got dd a twin pack of pyjamas for £16 instead of £35.

Eva50 · 16/12/2015 06:46

I don't suppose anyone has any spare Boden vouchers. I didn't get one but am watching my e-mail! What's the 25% code thenlater?

iloveblue · 16/12/2015 07:13

An extra 30% off sale items at Landsend with code DECTREAT.
They have some really nice plaid shirts for boys reduced at the moment. Extra bargainous with the 30% off.

TobleroneBoo · 16/12/2015 07:59

Right, this should be my last plea!
DMIL wants a Draught excluder, it needs to be beige or cream or brown and plain I think ( ie i don't think she would want the dog or cockerel type)
Scared eBay won't deliver in time and think shops like home bargains are down the right track although they don't have any
Have tried Dunelm and the range etc

Any suggestions?

trixymalixy · 16/12/2015 08:11

Tkmaxx have fraught excluders. I also saw some in sainsburys.

ThenLaterWhenItGotDark · 16/12/2015 08:12

Eve- the 25% seems to be applied as you click through the email- I opened the Boden site first, and it just showed 10%. Went back to quidco and signed in (8% cashback) then back to the email link, and it showed 25% before I applied the gift voucher.

Fingers crossed you get one!
