Thought I’d do a ‘how to’ for a couple of things people often post about not being sure of

To do click links you do this put link in here then a space then the name or phrase you want to go with the link . Don’t put a space between the start of the link and the and then last word and the like I have or it won’t work but I had to to demonstrate.

To follow the thread without using up a post to mark place you can click on ‘watch this thread’ at the top of the first post.

Second message has a few links and info which I’ll slowly build up, let me k ow if there’s anything you’d like me to add to it Thanks

Christmas bracelet

1p plus £1 delivery would be good to put in the little linen bags shared earlier

thaegumathteth · 13/09/2018 08:50

Thanks @Singingitoverandoverandover just ordered the barbie car clinic for dd

TheGirlWhoLived · 13/09/2018 09:29

Theres 25% off at the book people today, that brings the roald Dahl set down to about £16 which is a total bargain.
Got these galaxy squishie poo things from amazon too - only £1.20 and look fun!

Wilhemenawonka · 13/09/2018 09:47

The little linen bags are coming up as expensive post and packaging despite saying free. Any ideas why?

Singingitoverandoverandover · 13/09/2018 09:47

Studio has these 18metre rolls of xmas paper with dispenser box (think tinfoil box etc.. handy!) and free paper cutter for £2.99!
Pack of 10 matching gift tags £0.89p here

These are Just examples, studio have various )2.99 and upwards 18metre rolls paper with dispensers in different styles. Seems cheap and useful! Free delivery new customers with code 048 at checkout.

They also have the snaffling pig pork cracking advent Calander for £14.99 if that’s your thing! Envy

Rockhopper81 · 13/09/2018 10:56

imsorryiasked - thanks for the headphones link. I may or may not have just ordered a pair for me...Smile

Also just a quick word about the Studio paper, for those who’ve never used it before - it’s brilliant value, but bear in mind it’s only 50cm tall (i.e. much smaller than the rolls you buy in a shop). It doesn’t bother me, and I’ll happily patch it if needed, for the money it saves when buying it, but just to be aware of it in case it would be an issue for you (my Mum hated it at first, and will still only use it now for presets it fits completely - she’s a gift snob though and likes them to look pretty, bless her - she’s lovely!)

thaegumathteth · 13/09/2018 12:04

@Wilhemenawonka they come as free postage for me

user1492621884 · 13/09/2018 12:06

ALERT!!

Lol surprise house is back for pre order in smyths toys.

BanoffeePieIsMyFave · 13/09/2018 12:44

@Wilhemenawonka sometimes if you add more than 1 to your basket amazon add ridiculous p&p. Could that be the problem?

FilthyforFirth · 13/09/2018 12:50

Just got back from Tescos and they have tubs of Roses, Celebrations etc 2 for £7. Pretty decent bearing in mind they are usually a fiver each!

My Christmas choc cupboard is looking full already thanks to these, very cheap festive matchsticks and half price milk tray!

Alanamackree · 13/09/2018 13:19

@Catanddogmake6 thanks.

Wilhemenawonka · 13/09/2018 13:35

Banoffee thanks for that. You were right. I pack was free, 2 packs was £4.99 for postage!
I've done two separate orders instead.
