Rubbish title but I'm off to bed in a min (it's been one of those days).

As usual links are on post two.

If I've missed anything good (which could be very likely as I'm getting back to work mode atm) let me know.

Still waiting for my drone, mine says expected by 16th (tomorrow) but no sign as yet.

woodwaj · 15/09/2016 13:23

Iwoot code didnt work for me :(

squeezed · 15/09/2016 13:31

Woodwaj I just went back through the small print, it had to be clicked through the email and excluded most of the items on the site. I couldn't use it for what I wanted. Sorry about that.

RoastieToastieReastie · 15/09/2016 13:38

Thanks wood but I really don't want to have to buy another Barbie, I just want the costume!

Monkeyface Shock . Hope he doesn't change his mind on Friday when he realises it might not be just a fun day off school!

Bebeside I'm not sure on sizing of parcel box as dh ordered it but it is taller than the bottom of our downstairs window apparently.

Nice to see mnhq getting in on the thread too.

Someone was asking a few threads ago about Christmas Boden clothes. I went on their site earlier this week and they now had some Christmas tshirts etc (but I think there's still more of their range to come).

My drone hasn't arrived either. I sent a message to the seller a couple of days ago but had nothing back yet. Has anyone's arrived?

Unfortunatly looks like drones are like shark beds.

George has its christmas jumpers out now

leesmum · 15/09/2016 13:45

itmystbenyage and reastie I also contacted the seller but haven't heard back, obviously I'll let you know if I hear anything or when it eventually turns up!!

KitKatCHA · 15/09/2016 13:46

Monster High, high school playset half price at Amazon here reduced from £149.99 to £74.99. It looks really cool I almost want one for myself GrinWink

GerudoValley · 15/09/2016 13:59

Just out of curiosity which sellers resulted in actual shark beds being delivered? I'm sure lots of people posted photos... Is it still worth ordering one?

Awoof · 15/09/2016 14:00

Very welcome amymumsnet can see it being a hit with tipsy aunties and uncle's once the kids are in bed Grin

Flufflepuff · 15/09/2016 14:02

If you're a "VIP" member of Lego (free to join), you can pre-order their Winter Christmas Train at £69.99 (officially release October 1st), and use the discount mentioned above to get £10 off too Smile

That's annoying chips and lees, I thought bils present was done .

Not Christmas but I've just re-signed up to hello fresh having been with them previously. I may have originally found out about it from this thread a couple of years ago. They deliver ingredients and recipes to make meals here's the link . From my experience the portion size is very good (too much for even a greedy dh) and ingredients are good quality. Everything is measured etc for you. I originally did it because I was stuck in a cooking rut and this gave me some days where I didn't have to think what I was going to cook as it was all chosen for me. I've got a referral code which is 5DCPFG which gets £25 off first box and £12 to me as well which would make the box £14 rather than £39 which seems bargainous to me Wink. It's easy to cancel so you don't have to order more and it comes in special packaging to keep it cool in the box if you're not around when it's delivered. I'm quite looking forward to mine coming on Sunday and what I'll get to be cooking.

Emma Bridgewater emails feature an offer on personalised mugs until 22nd Sept. Ten letters free. Not sure if that's particularly good because I don't know how much they usually cost!

FestiveFran · 15/09/2016 14:39

No code required, btw

glenthebattleostrich · 15/09/2016 14:52

Thanks for the Lego code . It also gave me a free mini Dragon set :)

CocoaBum · 15/09/2016 14:53

My shark bed hasn't come yet - was due 6th I think, so I'll give it a few more days then raise with Amazon.

I haven't bought anything in ages! Need to get back in the swing...

GerudoValley · 15/09/2016 14:57
