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.

Another vote for the John Lewis Waitrose trolley. Well used here and still going strong.

My g&b choc boxes from amazon looked pretty worn also and the seals were broken Angry I felt I needed to check the chocolates so ate 4 Blush to confirm they normal choc. Was thinking of using individual chocolates instead as don’t feel I can give those boxes as gifts really.

totallyLosingit I set a strict budget every year, and yet still in November and December have to remind myself not have more month than money Blush

SimplyPut · 16/11/2018 23:16

I tried avoid most of the last one as payday is still another week away 😳

Wrapped all DDs presents tonight 🎄

Still need to buy for my DH though. He's requested a new wallet and an iPhone docking station speaker that is also a radio. I am slightly overwhelmed with the number of options out there and have no idea what I'm doing.

A good gift choice for any guitar player who would appreciate an 'alternative' gift that is enjoyable to learn and play...plus they have the fun of building it too:

Blues Box Guitar

and it is at a great price just now.

If some kind soul has a spare 20% Marks code it would be great if they could PM it to me, thanks.

I was kindly sent an M&S code a little while ago, but would really like another one if anyone has a spare?

Monkeymonstermum · 17/11/2018 02:00

Any idea about free delivery for the magformers Dillie? Some great prices! Hate paying delivery though...

bluestripedtopthanks for the M&S code!

I have been skipping threads to save money!

But: if you have an nfl fan in your life, sainsburys tu are selling team t-shirts and London games tie on shirts, all nfl branded for £16 each. I saw patriots, raiders, jaguars and more. DH was very happy with his birthday gift one.

I also ordered a cheap Photobox picture mug earlier on. It has a couple of dot flaws, I'm happy with it for the price but wouldn't be if I'd paid full whack so wanted to warm others.

Just in case anyone else has a child obsessed with the bizarre Bush Babies Amazon have quite a few reduced (along with some Mr Tumble, Sooty and in the night garden toys) as a deal of the day here

Andanotherhehe · 17/11/2018 07:39

My DD loves those bush babies so I've ordered her the royal carriage in the Amazon deals.

My G&B chocs from Amazon were perfect and also well wrapped in bubble wrap so its clearly luck of the draw.

I ordered myself a Karcher window vac yesterday for £42.99 too which has been on my want list for ages!

lifelongfrugaleer · 17/11/2018 07:47

Thanks
G&B got. Need to do a consolation for RL shopping.
Both DC have asked for TV. So that's my main look out

imsorryiasked · 17/11/2018 07:52

Amazon has two for £10 on calendars and diaries (as well as two for £7 on lots of books).
