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

Wenchelda: we got Lego train couple of years ago for ds. He was really happy and played a lot with it. We paid full price because it was the only thing he wanted for his birthday.

Jellycat the Melissa and Doug set is under £20 on Amazon. here

The Elemis handwash is very nicely packaged

Can anyone help with a code please? I would love to get DH the "keep it brave" Diesel t shirt but it's £45 which is too much. If I could find a good code that would be amazing

Thanks for the Celtic & Co code. Just got some sheepskin insoles which I’ve been looking out for.

fairydustandgin is there a particular type of the diesel brave t shirt you want? They have so many styles with ‘only the brave on’.
asos have this one, and exta 10% off with a student code. Or usc have this one, again 10% off with student code. Lots of places do them, only the brave and now keep it brave are the newer ones I think? If there’s a particular one, I can help you look? Tkmaxx always do diesel stuff too, I get dh’s jeans there so much cheaper than anywhere else as they’re one of only few brands that do the length for his long legs.

Or is it this one with the writing on back you want to find cheaper? I’m not with it today

I’ve got tickets to see Les Mis for my dm, and I want to get her the soundtrack. She uses her iPad a lot (and I’m not certain that she even has a CD player) so I was going to buy it on iTunes. Is there a way of doing this that doesn’t involved me physically taking the tablet out of her hands? She’s one of those people who are hell bent on stopping you spending a penny on them, but delighted to get a treat iykwim. If I handed her a physical cd, the money would already be spent, and that would be ok. I could give her an iTunes card but then it would be rude to dictate how to spend it, and she’d probably let my dc squander it on minecoins or other rubbish.

Sorry, it’s not really a bargain question unless you consider that I’m trying to save money by not having to buy her a CD player too

If she has an amazon account, quite a lot if you buy the cd you get the download free too.

jammie yes it's that one. The best I could find was 10% off if I use my sisters student ID.

@Alanamackree There is definitely a way, as I have had albums on iTunes as presents before - I just got an email on my birthday telling me the download had been bought for me and was available. Not sure how to do it though - will ask DH tonight.

@Alanamackree Just found this link which seems to tell you how to do it:

Everything five pounds have a few Diesel t shirts. They’re actually £17 as they’re in the designer section, but still a bit of a bargain.

Thank you but it was that particular t shirt I was looking for

Wenchelda- The Lego website had the Christmas train for £75 . It doesn’t have a motor but you can buy this separately and make some adjustments. We have it and it’s lovely .
If you spend £85 ( you’ll need some more track ) there’s a free carousel which you could probably sell for £20/25 so would help to make the train a bit more affordable .
Also 7% with quidco atm .

Can anyone recommend a story book as a small gift for friends boys. Aged 5 and 8mths ( so mainly the 5yr old!)
Something fun..maybe Christmas related?

wencheleda would the lego harry potter hogwarts express set suffice? Very have it for 74.99 and if you are a new customer opening a credit account you get £30 off making it £44.99. You can pay that off straight away as well if you wish.

Just received my Elemis orders..... 3 different emails= 3 handwashes! Thank you so much!
I got a £20 off an £80 spend if anyone wants it just pm, also a code for two travel surprises

@JellycatElfie I bought this Janod one last year, it's lovely quality
www.bigbearstoybox.co.uk/baby-and-toddler-toys/wooden-toys-for-toddler/janod-nativity-scene/

Also 12% cashback through Quidco for Elemis

@recklessgran I've bought this a few times as presents

Really accessible and listed by supermarket so really handy to take to the shops with you.

Anyone else having issues with the lottie website delivery? I ordered on the 20/11, still no sign of my goods. No response to my email, phoned them today the lady said she would ring me back in an hour.....5 hours ago. Starting to get pretty annoyed. Their products aren't exactly cheap so I expect better customer service really.

Glad some of you were able to benefit from the holland & barratts deal.

@IJustWantToWearDungarees

Thank you! That’s absolutely brilliant, I had no idea that was possible.
