Thread 16 - fancy having a mulled fanny

[RoastieToastieReastie]

See post two for links etc

Thank you JDster, that's good to know

The poster who wrote about Victoria's secret smellies, can you link them, I cant find it online?

Im also looking to do a photo canvas for the in laws, anyone seen any codes?

Apparently this year's Jojo event (10% off for all this weekend, you get a scratch card if you have an invite for further discount) includes Micro Scooters!

Do you think it's worth getting the Mumsnet Kindle Fire deal or should I hold out for Black Friday?

Ihatethecold if you look on the money saving expert site, they have a page rounding up all current photo deals.

Sorry I'm on my phone and it doesn't show links but it comes up easil on Google!

My red magazine goody bag just arrived- I am alos disappointed. I got a self tanning set and the anti dundruff stuff. I don't do self tanning so won't use that. Will use the shampoo and contitioner but not exactly luxurious! I was hoping for some stuff like the poster got who posted many threads back- lovely candle, bagsy lipbalm, bagsy hairbrush etc. Still I guess the value is way more than £6 and thats what you get for going for a 'goody bag' when you have no idea what its going to include.

Good plan wheatchief

Thanks confugled

ihatethecold if you go on Victoria's secrets it's the Pink section then look in beauty and click on the two pink bottles , they should be all there

great idea re choc stirrers! are they in store now

Vintage how the hell did you get Amazon to do that? I've been on for an hour and a half and they are point blank refusing. I screenshotted your post and this was their response

Another disappointing Red goody bag here. Dandruff stuff plus a bronzer and make up brush. Very annoying as I don't wear makeup or have anyone to give the stuff to, plus can hardly regift dandruff shampoo!

rogl Argos have some offers on their Xmas trees so you may get a 6ft in your budget. Lots of different styles.

Thanks Starry, i cant believe the price of them full price!

Does anyone know anywhere except pound land that does own brand versions of duplo. DD is obsessed but duplo is so expensive!

Use code WINTER40 at Book People for £5 off a £30 spend or £8 off a £40 spend

Dotcom gift shop have some good reductions in their sale here

I bought the kneeling pad for MiL last year, and it is really nice quality. Some nice vintage style decorations too.

Why is the fire 6 more expensive than the 8? Makes no sense to me unless it's an inflated price to make the discount seem good

Also received my Red goody bag this morning - same as everyone else... anti-dandruff hair stuff (I will use) and tanning stuff (won't use). Am guessing the Neom stuff went to the earliest subscribers (of which I thought I was one!!!) then Red saw a surge in their subscriptions and had to scramble for freebies from other cosmetics companies..

Vintage and Nurse. I've tried with Amazon re Barbie glam getaway house. I ended up speaking to customer services. The guy was really helpful and went off and asked a supervisor if they could price match and the answer was no unfortunately. He was very apologetic but still no house
I'd love to know how you managed it Vintage!

Synths have £10 off a £50 spend on Lego with code LEGO online and free delivery on Lego orders too.

I've finally received my kids bargain world stuff, and it is awful. The sizes are ridiculously small, I bought age 3 (supposedly 110cm) for 2 yr old nephew and there is absolutely no way the jumper will go near him. Looks more like it would fit 15 month old nephew, but they would never put it on him. It is very 'nylon' feeling, not the sweatshirt style hoody that it looks like.
I also bought a hat supposed to be up to age 4, but won't fit 2 year old.
I am so disappointed with all bar one item. I would not recommend anyone buying from them. Items take 4 - 6 weeks, returns will be a nightmare and no chance of changing an item in time if you were happy with quality and just wanted to change the size. They also only publish positive reviews...

I've missed a bit Nursenat, have you already bought an item that you want amazon to price match?

Feeling a bit . Just gave my octonaut obsessed niece a satisfyingly priced Gup I only to find it's a very cheap version of what is advertised on the website. There's no sound effects, no extendable legs, no snowball launcher or extra small vehicle and it comes with a penguin instead of a seal. At first as she was cheerfully unpacking it and telling me all this I thought that she was describing what she had seen it do on the program. She wasn't even complaining, just telling me that the other one she had seen was different. But then I looked at the Smyths website and realised that the one they advertise is exactly what she described and what I bought was complete rubbish. Rang them and they were very nice and they said there would be no problem exchanging it, but lovely niece doesn't want to give back "Bertha" and declared that penguins are much nicer than seals.

To be fair it is very clear on the box what is inside and the packaging looks perfectly genuine. but I would never have suspected that there would be more than one version of the toy, or that I might need to pay more attention. now I'm worrying what else might be in my stash that doesn't match the kids expectations. And realising with a sinking heart that I should pay more attention to those boring unboxing videos that DS keeps nagging me to watch

Mortifying because my DB knows Im a cheapskate I live a bargain, and I did get it for a good price. but if I were buying on aliexpress or even eBay I'd have been checking it very carefully to make sure it wasn't a knockoff, I didn't think I needed to shop like that in Smyths.

Apologies if I'm lowering the tone of the thread but on the off chance anyone else has bought a gup i they could be in for a potential disappointment, so no harm to check.
