Just had a ccc alert for transformers the last night autobot sqweeks rc reduced to £49.99 from £69.99.

I think with Sparks the offer was account specific, from what I can see on hot deals it is people with 5000 sparks who get this deal Sad They had a fair few offers last Christmas so might be worth holding on? I had a 10% new sparks customer offer in my options but also went through cashback where it was 8% cashback - it seems to have tracked just under 8% but not too bad.

There's 20% off M&S in Ireland at the mo, maybe that means the UK one will be soon.

Chocolateunicorn · 14/09/2017 22:16

The friends and family 20% at m&s is held at different dates now for different regions (why I have no idea) my store was last weekend Staffordshire area.

Apparently my daughter NEEDS a playmobil treehouse
If anyone sees any offers please could you let me know!

Fancythat69 · 14/09/2017 22:21

It's not looking good for the smyths 20% off sale 😢

Coops37 · 14/09/2017 22:25

It's definitely on in Hampshire this weekend but wasn't sent a friends a family voucher to use.
Do any kind souls have some to share? I'd be eternally grateful! X

THanks for the toysforapound - got a handful of stocking bits and a captain America backpack I can fill with bits for my godson's birthday in January. Must think "bargain" not "cheapskate" 😆

Jennywallpaper · 14/09/2017 22:51

I've been lurking on here for a little while and I just want to say a massive thanks to the poster who mentioned the 20% off on VERY for your first order. I just ordered a bike each for DC which where already reduced and then got a further 20%, definitely a great saving so thank you!! Smile

Baker Ross parcel arrived. Ceramic tree decoration hearts and bells are great. Going to decorate them with the kids and that is grandparent and teacher gifts all sorted!

EnglishRose1320 · 14/09/2017 23:20

Does anyone know on the toysforapound website, if you order more than 1 of something and their are different characters/colours etc do they try and send you a mix or are you likely to get lots the same?

yumyumpoppycat · 14/09/2017 23:32

Toys r us £5 off a £30 spend, code 8086839990 online only I think, and free delivery over 29.99.

Also at toys r us 30% off some lego ninjago, nexo knights & lego batman sets. This nexo knight set seemed a particularly good reduction www.toysrus.co.uk/lego-nexo-knights-general-magmar-s-siege-machine-of-doom-70321-/ but you need to add an item to the basket up to benefit from free delivery and £5 off.

I think m&s are losing the plot! Can't imagine they have had to do this because they were having stampedes of angry bargain hunters.

VoldemortsNipple · 15/09/2017 05:54

@Tickyboovicki it was £59.99 for the rainforest one. Not a huge amount off but DGD constantly wants to be on her feet so it will be worth the money for that, although it certainly wouldn't be worth keeping until Christmas.

christmasunicorn · 15/09/2017 07:20

I'm really gutted about smyths not doing the 20% off. I have a basket with over £200 waiting to be discounted. Oh well, their loss I guess as I'll just get it all elsewhere

Freezingwinter · 15/09/2017 07:35

Wondering if they'll still do it but at a later date??

chicaguapa · 15/09/2017 07:50

Topcashback are offering an extra £3 cash back on any spend over £15 before midnight Sunday.

I used that with my £5 off a £25 spend at Matalan, and bought the Christmas nutcracker globe I've been coveting which finally came into stock today. Fantastic timing! Grin

SockEatingMonster · 15/09/2017 08:14

@EnglishRose1320 I emailed them before placing my order and they said that warehouse staff are always instructed to put in one of each/different designs when multiples are ordered. You can also add a note to your order which they'll read and try and help you with if they can. They were very helpful and when I received my order it had all different designs.

SheStoodInTheStorm · 15/09/2017 08:58

@FireflyGirl is that TCB offer for everyone? I can't see anything about it anywhere and missed the last one.

SheStoodInTheStorm · 15/09/2017 08:59

Also still looking for an offer on fingerlings if anyone sees any! Would rather not pay £15 for a small toy (but will probably end up doing so!)

SheStoodInTheStorm · 15/09/2017 09:03

£5 off £25 spend with free delivery at The Book People with code STRONG

They often have some great deals and prices.

SheStoodInTheStorm · 15/09/2017 09:03

STRONG25 is the code, sorry.
