Me too @cookiefiend I'd love a tegu set but just can't justify it

Squigget · 16/10/2017 21:47

Does anyone know if there is likely to be a 20% off everything again at M&S please? Just found on their website the most perfect pyjamas for my bus obsessed DD but they'd been even more perfect with 20% off!

Polkadot1974 · 16/10/2017 21:48

Thanks for the Clarins. Paid delivery and felt cheated and went back for another with the code!
Does anyone want a 1m high unicorn? JTF have them in Christmas brochure

I am just a buying machine today, this thread is bad for my financial health. Blush moves present list around to accommodate many, many, many new purchases

Argh the hotel chocolate still won’t work for me, really annoying!!

Do Mahabis ever come down? DM would love some but 80 blowing my budget

Tickyboovicki · 16/10/2017 22:07

Just jumping on the tread, struggling to keep up! Apologies if already posted but my Tesco has marvel & DC comic figures on a good offer?!

WhyamIBoredathome · 16/10/2017 22:24

spiders I've been looking at mahabis too but baulked at the price so hoping someone has a nice code or something.

babypossum · 16/10/2017 22:32

Be aware that the Swarovski crystal earrings mentioned up thread may not be real. I had a look at the website as they sounded too good to be true and there is no company address on their site. The returns address is a 2 bed semi in Fife...

cookiefiend · 16/10/2017 22:44

@ReindeerPoop I got DD2 a small tegu set (14 bricks) in tk maxx for £14.99 instead of £30 the other day. Still extortionate really, but I'm going to put them in a pouch to travel around with us. Worth keeping your eyes peeled. I've also seen loads of b toys and some le toy van in tk maxx so worth a look.

(Feel awful really to cheat on baba me, but it is nice to get a bargain).

MammaGnomes · 16/10/2017 23:03

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, had a quick look but couldn't see that it had ... 3 for2 on kids clothes at joules. Works on clearance as far as I can see.

ReindeerPoop · 16/10/2017 23:14

I'm jealous @cookiefiend ! I'll have to go for a mooch around at the weekend!

SurvivalOfTheUnfittest · 16/10/2017 23:34

Bigarse sorry I haven't quite read all your previous responses but have you tried classical music? My foster brother used to completely chill out with some Bach. My sons, on the other hand, like the Piano Guys (although from a sensory point of view it is not calming, more invigorating.) I am guessing you have tried playdoh? Black play tent and a torch? Glow in the dark stars for the ceiling (we look at ours in the night when the gastro issues keep mine awake!). A sensory mobile? If you have some ideas about which senses he is seeking/overwhelmed by, I could make more suggestions. (And does he have ear defenders if noise is ever an issue? They can be life changing.)

PocoyoandEllie · 16/10/2017 23:50

Yes there will be another 20% off at M&S, there will be a home event this weekend to. Just panic ordered a fingerling from very as had a 20% code. The kinetic sand ice cream truck and ice cream treats also fell in Confused ds will be 3 just before Christmas and definately doesn't need all these things but I can't stop! Meeting my dad at sainsburys at 7am on Wednesday for the toy sale aswell!

Regressionconfession · 17/10/2017 00:40

I’ve just ordered the Clarins!!! Samples will go in my stocking and the mascara/lip stuff will make a good gift!! Thank you to whoever posted!! DEL16 worked for free delivery.

feebeemee · 17/10/2017 04:26

Up feeding my newborn and twitched on the Clarins. Thanks to whoever posted the free delivery code. I'm thinking it might be an early Christmas gift to me!

Cupoteap · 17/10/2017 06:00

Just been having a look at the wonderbly site and they have 30% off when you buy 2 books until tonight - BOOKS30

Thread 10 Shock

bigarse1 · 17/10/2017 07:46

@SurvivalOfTheUnfittest - tbh honest all his senses just seem overloaded and he cant 'come down'. picked him up from school at lunchtime where it took 6 adults to get him under control and he was still 'up' at bedtime. he has a thing which plays classical music in his room (think he screams too much to hear it), it shines stars and moons and things on the ceiling. I put some essential oils on a pillow case and we sat in the dark in the living room cuddling and once id been beaten for a few hours he calmed. nothing helps at the moment. we have ear defenders and they help in shops etc if we catch him early enough but once he has 'gone' everything is just used as a weapon

luckiestgirl · 17/10/2017 07:57

I twitched on the Clarins deal

Mascara and lip balm

Or

Make up primer and lip oil

I used DEL16 in the promo code box for free delivery (it didn't show up as having worked until the last minute, but it had worked by the final page)

I hadn't realised you got to pick your own 9 free samples - there's loads. That's what swung it for me

So £10 in total for the two gifts plus the 9 samples

luckiestgirl · 17/10/2017 08:15

Do Argos ever do free delivery?

NotPennysBoat · 17/10/2017 08:23

@PocoyoandEllie when is the M&S 20% off do you know (or can you guess?)? Is it 20% off everything (in store & online)?

NoWordForFluffy · 17/10/2017 08:26

Try Argos on eBay. Sometimes it's free from there where it isn't direct.

OhHolyFuck · 17/10/2017 08:28

@bigarse1 no advice, just wanted to say hello
Ds2 is under assessment for 'something' and it's just bloody hard sometimes isn't it?
