Thread 6 - the one with Terry’s chocolate organs

[Reastie]

Welcome one and all, see post two for links.

My Good Houskeeping magazine arrived the other day, I got the 6 issues for £6 deal for myself. Still no Emma Bridgewater mug yet though - has anyone else received theirs yet? Not sure when to chase.

Lego friends rollercoaster down to £53 on Amazon. Best price ever. Usually around £64. Both DC wanted this so I'm thrilled with the bargain. Or at least the GP will be as they are getting this for them.

Mummys I used your Pact referral code
Here is my [[http://www.pactcoffee.com/sign-up?voucher=SIAN-A33C65 code]] if anyone would like to use it, thanks

Link fail!!
Pact code
Thanks

beady I did get my mug pretty quickly after ordering- think it was the week before the magazine came?

Went to Smyths. Got £30 off (£157 spend). Dd birthday and Christmas sorted. Yay!

B&M have got their Xmas throws and cushions in. They also have jojo bow blind bags for £2.99 each. Dd got one the other day and they're actually decent wee bows. You get 2 in a pack.

Also managed to get dd a lockable diary for £2.99 because she wants to 'keep her secrets'.

mummys I'm an idiot, for some reason the referral code I used hasn't worked! So I've been billed the full amount. Think it's because I was deciding whether to get pods or packs & although it said it had been applied it must've wiped it off while I was chopping & changing have emailed them to see if there's anything i can do

I got my emma Bridgewater mug a week before the mag

£25 off on a £50 spend at the body shop. Good offer but sadly the sdvent calendars are excluded from offer

Sorry code for body shop is 19806

Does anyone know if netball hoops are invited in the 3 for 2 at Argos?

Beadyboo got my mug about two weeks ago and first mag two days ago.

Has anyone bought any of the Lego compatible tape stuff? There's loads at all different prices but don't know if any are any use?

I got some Ocado vouchers in a parcel, £20 off a £80 spent and free deliveries, for new customers. Ocado doesn't believe in Scotland so if anyone wants one PM me!

Not a bargain but does any of the other lol collectors want to swap a snow angel? We have 3 😱

Urgh was not quick enough for the Lego 😖

Does anyone know if Hawkins Bazaar offer any discount codes in the run up to Christmas?

@dumbledoresamy I bought 2 of the big torches last year (one standard Minifigure style and one Darth Vader), they're still working fine and they've stood up to a lot of bumps and throws come to think I haven't even changed the batteries. Another plus point is that you can swap the masks/heads between them to mix and match which is apparently funny :o

Haudyerwheesht Re Lego
My parents bought dd2 the Wilko Lego for her birthday in May. Yes its compatible but the quality is very noticeable. They are hard to fit together then a pain to get apart.
The sets are annoying too. I mean why build a wall in the proper way using interlocking bricks when you can build it with 1000 tiny 1 flat bricks! Anyway after spending ages helping her build them and coming away with very sore fingers i'll stick with proper Lego next time! The base boards work fine though :)

@bubblefrog the 2 for £15 still runs if you're just buying 2 items but if you were buying 3 the 2 dearest would be full price and the third would be free.

Remember to shop around and double check items everyone, niece had picked out some bits including a £19.99 ride on last week which is now priced at £29.99!

Has anyone ordered the LOL dolls from aliexpress? I know they're fake but was wondering what the quality was like. Do they unwrap like the proper ones? DD will only be just turned 5 so I really don't think she'll notice the difference and I just can't bring myself to pay a tenner for one tiny bloody doll

So I was a bit cheeky and once i ordered my Pact Coffee i used my own discount code the second time to open a new account with my other email. This then automatically discounted another £5 off my original account for the next bag. I've asked them to ship this 3rd bag tomorrow and i'll then cancel the plan. So all in all I have 3 bags of coffee beans delivered for less than £6! I already has a coffee bean hamper in my wish list for DSD so this has saved me about £25!

I'd stick with Lego rather than the cheaper bricks

Good thinking mummys I might set up another account in DHs name to order another pack- that will soften the blow of paying full price for the first pack lol!
I've kept a note of your referral code so if they let me apply this retrospectively then I'll use this but not holding out much hope for that!
