We've found the big packs of toys r us batteries last ages. We went through a fair few batteries during the trackmaster Thomas days Confused

Just got my dc their Xmas pj's from m&s using the 20% off code from itsnice thank you 🎅

I checked out as a guest and it let me use the code no problem, maybe try that if it's not working

NoWordForFluffy · 16/11/2017 08:19

I bought some underwear for DH with my 20% code. Thank you to Dubious! Flowers

It's very strange that some aren't working. How odd. I agree with the new account idea, might work.

NotMyMonkees · 16/11/2017 08:37

Thanks nigella for the design and drill heads up, just caught it before going to work!

luckiestgirl · 16/11/2017 08:39

OrangeCactus Careful- apparently you have to have used your nectar card in that particular Sainsburys store at some point in the last year. Something like that anyway?

AutoCat · 16/11/2017 08:48

Thanks for the heads up on the Design & Drill, SimplyNigella - that's been on my wish list for ages!

margaritasbythesea · 16/11/2017 08:50

Thanks Firefly.

CarrotVan · 16/11/2017 08:51

I think the use of your nectar card in the last 12 months at that store is to generate the vouchers rather than to use them. Or that's what I understood from the CS people at our local store

NoWordForFluffy · 16/11/2017 08:57

It is, Carrot. If you have the voucher you're fine to use it anywhere.

I couldn't get the rose wine I wanted in our little store. Not worth trekking 15 miles for though, so just got more white!

Wiifitmama · 16/11/2017 09:02

The M and S codes are not working for me which is hugely frustrating as I have a full basket waiting. I got one code on here from a kind mums netter. Then my Mum who is a sparks member gave me three vouchers she received in the post. None of the codes are working. Everything in my basket is eligible and the codes my mum gave me have never been used by anyone else and are meant for her family - me! There is obviously a glitch somewhere but I am so annoyed!

PunkAssMoFo · 16/11/2017 09:05

50% of 5 cards or more at Moonpig for those wanting personalised Christmas cards.

Thisoneorthatone · 16/11/2017 09:23

wiifitmama you could try starting up a live chat with M&S and see if they'll honour the discount and immediately reimburse you the 20% if you place the order? It's a bit different but they did that for me without question when a Sparks discount I had wasn't working.

Fuckingfuckssake · 16/11/2017 09:23

Good morning, this is very specific, does anyone have a promotional code for the Botanical Gardens in Edinburgh? We're visiting the week before Christmas and I'd love to take my DD to the Christmas lights but it's going to cost £44!!! Does anybody know if it's worth it? Thank you.

Jaffalong · 16/11/2017 09:44

Try wowcher, group on or early bird for Edinburgh botanical gardens discount codes.

Sorry I can't bring myself to type your name, I'd feel as if I'm swearing at you!

Aworldofmyown · 16/11/2017 09:47

Last year we got loads of Hype offers. I haven't had any yet this year - is this because they are being selective or just not doing them?

Anyone else had any?

I want to get DD another Backpack for school.

Thisoneorthatone · 16/11/2017 09:53

Does anyone have a Woollovers referral code I could use?! I tried the link earlier but it's not working.

Frostyleapingholly · 16/11/2017 09:56

Im know previously mentioned but can't remember places. Can anyone tell me where I can get reasonable priced family type Christmas pjs. Want a cheesy picture!

MarriedAroundChristmas · 16/11/2017 10:08

@Frostyleapingholly I got ours from Matalan, and wouldn't recommend.

I've washed them once, before wearing, and one has a hole. The material is really thin, and unusual. I got the family fair isle waffle ones. No holes in other clothing from the machine, pretty sure it's the crappy material.

They'll look great in a photo, but won't last long!

Scoleah · 16/11/2017 10:22

Just messaged you with code @Thisoneorthatone

Boredbeforeievenbegan · 16/11/2017 10:28

aworld there have been a couple of 70% off days and at least one lucky dip day at hype in the last few weeks so I should think they will do more if you keep your eyes peeled.

Youreadthebabybooks · 16/11/2017 10:29

Try character.com for pyjamas

Frostyleapingholly · 16/11/2017 10:32

@MarriedAroundChristmas thanks for the heads up. Was actually just looking at theirs. Like the ones in Asia but sizes I need bloody oos! Typical for me.

IToldYouIWasFreaky · 16/11/2017 10:39

Sleepwear (and cold weather gear) is 50% off at GAP today. They have some lovely Christmas pyjamas for kids.

Also, sorry if this has already been mentioned or I am misremembering (thread gets too long too quickly to look back through!) but if someone was looking for adult PJs with Peppa Pig on, Tesco have men's ones with Daddy Pig.

ReindeerPoop · 16/11/2017 10:39

Has anyone seen any good quality bike sacks? (The ones that you use instead of wrapping paper) the only ones I can find seem very transparent , so kind of defeats the object!

asuwere · 16/11/2017 10:47

Thanks TobleroneBoo doesn't seem to want to let me get the further discount, maybe it was a glitch they fixed. Nevermind, it's a great price anyway. Thanks :)
