Thread 14 - the one where we sell our souls to the devil for the illusive unicorn fingerling

[Reastie]

Welcome one and all, see post two for links.

Any referral links to go on this separate thread please

Literally ordered a fingerling at 04:43am.

I am mad.

Thanks to whoever said that Toys R Us have some each morning! Much appreciated.

Where’s the cineworldgift voucher from please?

Does anyone know whether the fake fingerlings a) are safe and b) work the same as the real ones?

I bought one on wowchers for DD which turned out to be fake. But actually, she's shown no interest even after seeing her cousin's one, so I'm thinking of giving it for her school xmas fair raffle. But don't want to do that if it's going to be a disappointment to whichever child wins it!

For whoever was looking for sprouts gifts, Steamer trading cookshop no, autocorrect, I did not mean to write cock shop! have a peel the sprout advent calendar for £10.99, although it's not in stock at the moment. Might be one for next year's list?

My five year old has just said she really wants a Fingerling - a unicorn or purple monkey. I don’t live near a ToysRUs and even though it says the purple monkey is available for delivery when you go into the actual page it’s not.

I’m on a tight budget so would rather get one locally or from a site with free postage to save costs but can’t find one. Has anyone seen one?

Warning with the Cineworld gift boxes.

A normal Cineworld gift voucher lasts 24 months (I think) but the gift boxes only last six months. We were given one plus a voucher last year, happened to use the voucher first and then were nearly caught out with the box as with two little children baby sitting, nights out and films we actually want to watch are not that common. They wouldn’t extend the date or swap it for a normal gift voucher even though there was a film coming out in July we wanted to see (vouchers expired mid-June).

I've got a purple glittery one from The Entertainer. Keep an eye on Tesco too as they'll deliver to your local store. Might be worth popping in to Asda / Tesco if you're passing also.

Jed thank you. Nowhere near Scotland unfortunately. Have you tried the Islabikes Facebook page? Bikes literally racing off the page!

Hi Katrina - yes I've sold two previous Islas on the fb page but as I very rarely my fb account I've forgotten the login details and I can't be arsed setting it all up again just for the sake of selling a bike

(Supremely lazy - that's me )

Salty I got a purple one from ToysRUs at about 7am this morning. Might be worth checking a bit earlier tomorrow and you might get one! I got two white ones last week which I think might have been attempted delivery yesterday but I was out. (narrowing down the options on what the parcel could be because I've ordered so much stuff but can't be off Amazon because it always comes via courier so will need to wait until I get up to the post office to confirm what it is) The purple one I ordered today is due for delivery by Thursday. I also have a purple one and a turquoise one on pre-order from Smyths - they aren't due in until end of month so I'm still trying to buy now in the hope that I get them in my hands sooner rather than later and then I can delete the pre-ordered ones and someone else can have them

Hello

£20 off your first shop with Abel and Cole you have to order a "box" as part of order strangely it doesn't show the £20 coming off when you pay but shows in your orders as the total minus the £20 if that makes sense.

Currently 20% off chickens great for Xmas dinner if small family

I will also get £20 off my next shop if you use my link

@SaltySeaBird My parents (near Cambridge) went to Tesco, ASDA, Toys R Us etc, and all were out of stock.

Yesterday I added a fingerling to my basket on toys r us, and got all payment details in, before it crashed saying there weren't any left. That's why I was up so early today. Managed to get a purple one, but did have to pay delivery.

Could you call any local stores and ask when they are due?

@weebarra Thanks for the Gap code

Weirdly this is now what I see when I search for fingerlings on ToysRus - have never seen this before! It's always just listed them all and then said they weren't available. Maybe they are updating with new stock??? 🤞

Toys r us has 20% off all wheels- scooters, bikes etc until Tuesday discount is automatically applied at checkout so no code needed.

Has anyone who has had an Abel and cole referral used by someone actually had the credit yet? My first free box is coming tomorrow, I've had 3 people used my referral but no credit or anything showing. Says you get an email with the credit details but nothing and its been a few days.
Ive only got left...
Advent calendar treats
Italian food stuff for a hamper to go with a buy a gift voucher for a meal
Books about trains
Something for a 5 and 1 yr old
Grid it
Stocking fillers for DH
Still need to think about ways of telling our kids we are off to lapland and got more cold weather gear to buy...so everything is going to have to be ultra cheap this year!

Finally started my Xmas shopping. Yay.
Used the bookpeople and very and have done most of the stockings. Forgot to use the discount codes though. Oops.

Very have good % discount on clothes at the moment if anyone has teens.

Primark fairy lights good for stockings too.

All I have left to buy is a book club subscription, a baby wheel of cheese, a (hopefully cheap) travel mug, a gift for a mid 40s couple I don't really know, something for my DB's GF and 2 mini selection boxes!

If anyone has a referral for willoughby book club, could you pm me? 10% off for me and £5 for you

Can anyone confirm 25% off xmas stock in matalan?

Thank you to the PP who linked to the OS map- that’s right up my DH street so ordered one. On the off chance afterwards I looked at top cash back for OS (force of habit) and it’s tracking at 15% 😭

Also seeing the no results instead of the out of stock message for Fingerlings. I've been searching, they seem impossible to get hold of. I think the purple monkey is her first choice although she would be happy with a pink one or unicorn too.
