angry Amazon have a mlp colouring book (adult colouring book style) in their 3 for £10 offer or £4 on its own.

veuve clicquot is reduced from £35 to £30 at Ocado at the mo. If you're buying a bit and can get a new customer £20 voucher it might be a good buy?

Hi have been directed to you lovely lot from my desperate search thread! I have a pre teen home full time so need to shop online but we are very short on money so I was wondering if there were any cheap onesies about? Fc Barcelona things or girls watch or girls pretty back pack are also on the lists. Thank you all so much in advance!

LibertineLola · 22/11/2016 00:33

AdmiralCLingus I agree regarding the busy book. I bought one for my daughter last year but she has requested a spike to go with her bigger ponies so I have purchased this set from Tesco for £12 (using my clubcard vouchers) and am hoping super spike is ok!

That's spike dressed as Humdrum. Thank you for putting this up; that episode is DD1's 2nd or 3rd favourite and she would be incredibly chuffed to receive power ponies for Christmas!

pumpkins try character.com for backpacks. I saw some Frozen ones for less than £1 in the clearance section. Home Bargains is generally pretty good in my experience, you might get a watch there, or B&M. They are both worth a look if you don't like any of the character.com backpacks, as is studio.co.uk

GruffaloPants · 22/11/2016 05:17

angry I got a make your own my little pony kit from Home Bargains for £3. You pop out the pieces to build the pony and accessories. They have a fair amount of MLP stuff.

SweetPeaPods · 22/11/2016 06:32

O2 priority have £10 off a £20 spend at body shop.

Casablanca78 · 22/11/2016 06:50

F6P8 gives 30% off and free delivery at Boden. They have some lovely mugs, candles etc. in the gift section. Don't forget quidco too!

BrollyXmas · 22/11/2016 06:50

Pumpkin - how old is your pre-teen? Hype do great backpacks and there are sometimes some good sales / offers on their main website.

FallenSky · 22/11/2016 07:42

Has anyone used the nectar double up this time around? I used it yesterday and I've somehow ended up with more points than I started with! Does anyone know whether the points just take a while to be taken off of my card or has something weird happened?

I used £25 worth of points but it's actually added £25 worth rather than take away. My statement online says BONUS. Logically I'm thinking that as I used £25 to make £50 maybe they add £25 and then take off £50 if that makes sense?

Carrie76 · 22/11/2016 07:54

Anyone know if Wilko ever do discounts?

Someone was looking for sharpies yesterday. There's a pack of 12 on amazon for £3.99 if that helps www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B001OXH0DW/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1479801192&sr=1-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&dpPl=1&dpID=618ABqgSVeL&ref=plSrch

AdmiralCLingus · 22/11/2016 07:55

libertine I love that set! Dd however is not convinced superspike will do because "how will the ponies know who he is with a mask on mommy?" Hmm

HungryHorace · 22/11/2016 07:58

My Nectar statement looks like this.

Last year they gave you 50% of the points you'd used back later as well, so instead of spending £20 worth of points it only ended up as £10. I hope they do that again this year!

Thank-you
scrappydappydoo and GruffaloPants
Much appreciated

OhRex · 22/11/2016 08:10

I got mlp pop kits (those ones where you make your own pony) in pound world and colouring books and sticker packs in pound land. They also had plush ponies on offer at £6.

FallenSky · 22/11/2016 08:16

Thanks Horace. This is what mine looks like. None redeemed. I'm guessing it'll happen at some point though.

Excuse dodgy pic, phone won't load the site for some reason.

Looks like you've scored there! I think they'd have gone by now if they were going!

confuugled1 · 22/11/2016 09:07

Looks like Not on the High Street have 30% off everything for 24 hours according to an ad at the top of my page - not sure when it starts/finishes - but think that's quite a good deal for them.

traviata · 22/11/2016 09:25

The NOTH offer is only on a small range of items.

Wait4nothing · 22/11/2016 09:26

I can only see 30% off Christmas homewards but I will keep an eye on noths- thanks

Thekidsthatpukedxmas · 22/11/2016 09:29

Book People code TRIPLE50 will get you £5 off a £30 spend, £8 off a £40 spend and £12 off a £50 spend

Casablanca78 · 22/11/2016 09:29

Got excited there about NOTHS but there's only 31 items included - pah!

confuugled1 · 22/11/2016 09:35

Sorry about NOTHS - very misleading ad Xmas Sad

FallenSky · 22/11/2016 09:38

Shall keep an eye on my nectar account. Will be a super bargain if the points end up staying!

I've been sent a 25% off plus free delivery code for The White Company. It says it is an exclusive offer for first purchases so I'm not sure if it will work for anyone else. I won't be using it so I'm happy to send it over to someone else if they want to give it a go?
