What are speedy cups?

I nipped into Boots and got the Soap & Glory half price make-up for me. I got the one last year and I'm still using some of it.

Body shop have 40% off most stuff instore, I haven't checked online but I guess it's similar.

The Journal Shop has up to 70% off in its clearance section. Also lots of lovely kawaii stuff, etc. if you’re looking for stocking stuffers that aren’t smiggle.

iStore also has reductions on apple stuff

I will never ask for a cookie jar again I promise except the elephant one

Has anyone seen any wellies in the sale?

Don't have to be expensive ones it's just 10yo DD needs them for a school trip. Will probably only ever wear then that once so appreciate a discount on them!

Try mountain warehouse frequentfuss

I really have to know though, what was the conflict about? Someone thought they were tacky and argument ensued? Someone tried to flog their own product and was found out and argument ensued? Someone had a philosophical objection to cookie jars on the basis they encouraged unhealthy eating and argument ensued?

@PerfumeIsAMessage
Yeah thread baby was 2013 sounds about right

No, a poster wanted to buy a moo-ing cookie jar for a relative iirc, who had, incidentally, had a hard time, so she wanted to buy something special that would make him smile. Everyone set to to find an elusive moo-ing cookie jar, and the weirdo got all weird and started humphing about how this was a thread for bargains, not for people doing other people's shopping for them etc etc.

Same poster (hope I'm remembering this right) also got a chin on because people posted bargains they'd found on sites like HUKD. Er, kind of like we all do!

And came back the following year, still humphing, but even more humphy because we'd nominated our leader Reastie for a Christmas Secret Santa gift for organizing these fab threads for us year after year.

it was very surreal and a bit wtf.

Oh hello yellow! How the hell is thread young whippersnapper now then?

I wonder if tomorrow will be even more bargainous or much of the same?

does anyone have a sports direct discount code at all? i know they are doing a gift card deal but i'm not spending £50 x

My main problem with the cookie incident was that it highlighted the Mumsnet cliques that I hate.

I generally avoid all that even in RL

Some people thrive on it though ...

I'm not even entirely sure it was the same poster. MN never said it was.

Someone who was very involved with it all (why she wanted to be so involved In don't know) declared it was the same poster and thus MN fokelore was made

I likes the chat

Anyone know how to get free delivery at Clarins? DEL16 not working for me.

What do you want from clarins?

totallyLosingIt , really helpful re gin miniatures - thank you!

Oh yes, cookie-jar-gate . I remember it well.

@screamativemom sports direct seem to be offering £10 off a £50 spend BUT I think it's a retrospective gift voucher which is a bit rubbish

I would love a Lakeland code if a kind bargain hunter doesn't mind sharing one they won't be using!

Everything with sports direct is retrospective it seems, including the £5 click and collect refund.

For wellies check Aldi or Lido middle aisle.

just back as dont want to fall off the thread..

perfume has it exactly right. Was trying get one for my dp whose sister had just died.

Ensuing argument really was something else tho
