One next code left.

yumyumpoppycat · 19/11/2016 16:28

Aspider thanks I have ordered some elf bits too, fingers crossed they fit, this code takes off £1.50 CE150 anth that covers most of the P&P

perditalost · 19/11/2016 16:39

For those of you disappointed, the three hair care products retail in boots for £35.The kabuki brush is £15 and the bronzer £18 in Debenhams. They're going to my god daughter.

Just because something is expensive doesn't mean it is a good goody. Only a good thing is someone wants them. Loads unsold on ebay- so looks like no-one does want them- not bene getting £7 for all 3.

Check that she is the right skin tone for the bronzer.

I offered to send them mine back. They declined. So it so crap that even RED dont want them back.

Ouch.
I'd like to thank the OP for the Red Mag & gift. Christmas sparkles all round Smile

ASpiderInTheBath · 19/11/2016 16:55

Does anyone have any voucher codes for bhs by any chance?

alseb · 19/11/2016 16:59

Does anyone know of a discount code for Superdry? Thanks

gaggiagirl · 19/11/2016 17:05

Both next codes gone sorry x

longtimelurker2008 · 19/11/2016 17:11

alseb super dry have an eBay outlet and they sometimes do a 3 for 2 but it's generally great value anyway.

I wasn't knocking the OP in anyway. I also got the lovely serving board and a Jan Constantine stocking from hearst.

It isn't the OP who sent a dubious goody bag- it is Hearst.

The bronzer would not suit all skin colours - because not everyone is white and it is light/medium. I didn't want to try it out but pretty sure it wouldnt bronze my skin.

Whatdoesaturkeydo · 19/11/2016 17:23

I used my red goody bag shampoo and conditioner this morning - no scalp issues but I no shampoo in the house - it's really good my hair is really soft sleek and shiney today.

GirlWithTheYellowHat · 19/11/2016 17:28

OMG the Walking bread?! That's a secret santa present sorted! Never knew of such a thing.

MammaGnomes · 19/11/2016 17:33

Just remembered I have a next code if any would like it send me a pm

RoastieToastieReastie · 19/11/2016 17:34

Aspider I've looked on the page thanks, I'm only not going to add it to the op because they sell some stuff I've seen elsewhere cheaper, but glad you're pleased with what you got there 🎄

Smiggle has a bunch of special offers online at the moment (some end on Monday) - using those plus their 20% sign-up code I managed to get around a third off an order that has ticked assorted tweets off my to-buy-for list.

RJnomore1 · 19/11/2016 17:38

Perdita that's a bit of a shit attitude given you paid £6 for 6 magazines and the goody bag was free. If you didn't like it then I'd donate to a women's refuge or a raffle prize. It seems to me entirely unreasonable to pay below shop price for something, have an unnamed free gift thrown in, receive something worth £68 that OK maybe isn't that useful to you but still could be a nice donation to someone else, and then bitch about it over the Internet where the person who originally went to the trouble of posting the offer (wasn't me) can no doubt see it.

I don't see anything dubious about it at all apart from you don't fancy what you got which is fair enough but there's something really unpleasant about the way you've communicated that on this thread.

Next have little cards by the tills that gives you £10 off your first online shop over £15 or more. They have individual codes on.

I think the things with the goody bags is whether you would have bought the subscription without the free gift? I will enjoy Red regardless of the gift. £6 was a bargain. I've never read GH, I ordered for the bowls but if I don't get them then fair enough - they wouldn't have an endless stock!

insan1tyscartching · 19/11/2016 17:51

I've bought dd1 a Kate Spade necklace I'm looking for a trinket box either Mermaid or sea themed to put it in. Would really love your help, doesn't need to be particularly bargainous just nice really.

Thread 17- it's all about the advent calendars
YoureAllABunchOfBastards · 19/11/2016 18:21

I have just made up my advent calendars - one fabric one from Lidl which now has a joke in every pocket: I'm going to add little messages each day too. The other is a find - realised today I had kept the packaging of last year's M&S calendar so have filled each little box with mini Pokemon figures and a few chocs in some. Should keep them happy.

Off to IKEA again tomorrow.

Marshmallow kit arrived and looks great, and also got the TsumTsum erasers to split between DS1 and 2 and my friend's kids.

ValiumQueen · 19/11/2016 18:21

I spent £130 online at Sportsdirect. As I live on a remote Island I am very limited in where I can shop. Everything was in the Clearance bit though, and I got loads and loads of stuff.
Just need to buy for my Parents, my DB and DSIL and I am done Grin
