Thread 14 - Jesus, I've pm'ed you

[RoastieToastieReastie]

Post two for links etc

Been to B&M and aldi today.
Think somebody asked about tin tea sets for children
B&M had lovely sets in for £5.99 but looked a lot more expensive.
Aldi has a beauty advent calendar and the lovely wooden advent calendars and photo fleece blankets.

Thanks for the lush suggestions I'll give them a look

Thanks for the code generator link Zeusette... sorry Reastie I didn't even think to look on the list of links in the op. My bad!

Playmobilpeacock - Home Bargains had BBQ stuff in

Hurrah for gin is £3.99 on Amazon with free delivery for prime.

Santa sacks co i mentioned on a previous thread have reduced them even further till tuesday now £7.50

Can anyone recommend a starter make up set for my niece? Or would I be better trailing around Superdrug?

Lidl are selling Disney stationary advent calendars for £5 as a special buy next Thursday. Obviously pick up 2 dozen boxes of mini stollen while you're there

Bought this funny book, 70s Dinner Party when RL shopping today...thought it might be a good idea for those with hard to buy people on their list. A heads up - it's much smaller, size wise (not length) than you would think!

30% off home and fashion at Laura Ashley at the moment plus extra 10% off if you sign up for their emails. Info is all on their homepage.

Just a reminder before I clock off that Argos have 3 for 2 on all toys until the 8th.

ItsNice I actually met the author of that book quite recently, she's lovely and I'm sure she'll be glad to hear it got an MNer's stamp of approval!

Oh good! I thought it was brilliant.

Oh wow. I looked at my playmobil account given that a poster above reminded me that I had received no confirmation about my order and guess what, my order doesn't exist! I am sure I made it as I had the final order page confirmation window open yesterday, but there is no trace of it now. Will have to ask the husband to check paypal later...

Okay so I've been a little silly and bought a toy for my friends son in the 3 for 2. Got home text her to see if she has it and low and behold someone's already got it for him. How do returns work with 3 for 2 cheapest items?

oncearedstar Tesco did a percentage discount last year over Black Friday weekend. I think it was 15% or 20%?

todayisabeautifulday mine is showing as dispatched but initially I couldn't even place an order... it just kept removing the codes.

Hope your's arrives.

Just bought the paw patrol air patroller for £32 on amazon which is the cheapest I can find it at the moment.

Also regarding the bubble bath you could buy a cheap bottle of character stuff and then rinse it out well and fill it with something that would be kinder to skin. I second the sanex recommendation as my kids can get irritated skin and they tolerate it very well.

Did someone say that the Minecraft Elementa books were in the 3 for £10 on Amazon? I can't get the offer to work on them

Isn't it strange?
Ordered a river island voucher yesterday afternoon
It arrived this morning
Ordered an m and s one last week and it's still not arrived!

Hum. I don't mind it too much as I bagged today for a much cheaper price one of the things I had ordered through the playmobil website and it looks like the other ones might also go down in price, but I wonder whether they realised there was a glitch and just literally erased some of the orders.

I find M&S delivery really sllllooooooooooow

My offer on Elementa books worked at checkout Tacobella, it didn't show up before then as I was buying them anyway and was a pleasant surprise when I paid.

If I want to get some gift vouchers is there a good website to go through or is it best just to go into the store?

M&S IS really slow, which I find totally baffling as when we lived in the States we had things delivered in 48hrs with free delivery too! Longest we ever had to wait for a delivery out there was 5 days! I cannot understand how they can get parcels to Texas quicker than anywhere in the U.K!

mammy often boots, Tesco and probably other places sell gift vouchers for 15 or 20% off at some point. Failing that lots of employers have an online staff portal which allows you to buy many vouchers at a small discount- usually between 5 and 10%. Government workers and lots of public sector and even large third sector seem to do this now, but loads of people don't realise.

We use Childs Farm products for sensitive skin and thrush prone children. Its reasonably priced and UK made.

I thought I'd give another recommendation for customer service to Claires. Yodel said they had delivered a parcel but I couldn't find it anywhere. I emailed Claires, they refunded my money and gave me a £5 within 24 hours. The next day, I found the parcel in the recycling bin (good old yodel). I asked claire's to take my payment again, and they wouldn't, again, replying within a day.
Hush make me very cross and I want to shake them and make them see how silly they have been!

And if you can get the felt christmas trees- do. My kids have already spent days playing with them.
