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.

No affiliate links please.

Referral thread here

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

Reastie Many congratulations, what wonderful news thank you for sharing SmileFlowers There’s a seven year age gap between my two because of the dreaded HG and no.2 wasn’t planned.Blush

Only blessing about going through HG and all the hospitalisation etc the second time was I was much more empowered to get it dealt with and be listened to.

Oh no no no. My gifts didn't arrive at my sisters. They were play doh. Think words. And exploding kittens. All Mumsnet bargain specials. Posted weeks ago. My fault I didn't track them or put return address. I know need to do amazon direct to hers. Any suggestions for bargains? Her girls are age 6 and 2.

Whenisitover · 16/12/2018 22:53

@PhannyMcNee - If in doubt, I'd go for Lego.
Tesco and Asda have some sets on sale in store I've seen in the last couple of days?

PurpleTigerLove · 16/12/2018 23:08

And also huge congratulations Reastie !

CarrotVan · 17/12/2018 00:00

Congrats Reastie - I’m guessing a baby bargains thread will be started at some point

MyArris · 17/12/2018 00:25

Hype have 2 for 1 sale on. Great for backpacks. Just ordered my twins one each.

bettythebuilder · 17/12/2018 00:33

Congrats, Reastie!.

I'm another with a Christmas born sprog (although she'll be 16 this Christmas Day!) so any ideas for presents appreciated, I usually think I have enough Christmas/Birthday presents, then get the twitch around the 20th December!

Been RL shopping today and saw the Ordnance Survey Puzzle Book in the Works for £6... I think someone was looking for it (I'd planned to get it for DH but rather miserly didn't want to pay postage from various websites and missed out on the cheap price, so was very pleased with this!)
Also The Works have a 15% off a £10 spend voucher on the back of the leaflets they have instore , so if you need anything else, make use of this!

Thanks very much for the Elemis code, would never have looked at this site, normally buy DH some Molton Brown shower gels but bought the Mens set for £20 and it looks lovely, I'm so pleased with it! Also bought dh a glasses case from Yoshi, another lovely website I would never have found without you lot Xmas Smile

AlbusPercival · 17/12/2018 02:03

I’ve just had a refund from lands end?

Anyone else?

No email or communication but bank account shows a partial refund

I ordered 6 blankets as have had the money back for 5

Will be annoyed if I only receive 1nas they were meant to be a family set.

Lack of email very poor

thaegumathteth · 17/12/2018 02:12

The Harry Potter pop up book is back down to £22

MutedUser · 17/12/2018 03:26

Oh no hope landsend aren’t cancelling orders

CarrotVan · 17/12/2018 05:37

When did you order @AlbusPercival ?

I ordered on the 14th and was hoping for dispatch today or tomorrow

AlbusPercival · 17/12/2018 06:50

14th as well. Wondering if one colour was less popular, but would rather have full refund and no blanket

Notlongnow1 · 17/12/2018 06:54

@AlbusPercival very odd, particularly as they are still showing as in stock and code still advertised on their page and working. Watching my account with interest now!

AlbusPercival · 17/12/2018 07:00

Will see what happens. They certainly have my email address as I have order comfirmation

Iggi999 · 17/12/2018 08:38

At the nail biting stage of waiting for a load of eBay orders to arrive, including a football strip ds is desperate for which dh has ordered from some no doubt dodgy site. Hmm
Very happy to read Reastie’s news and hoping things are bearable for you at least! Xmas Smile

CarrotVan · 17/12/2018 08:54

My Lands End orders also aren’t showing so I rang them and both my orders from the 14th are fine. First one (towels) being sent today and the monogrammed fleece blankets tomorrow

TalkingOrmer · 17/12/2018 09:06

That’s good to hear CarrotVan

NewDayBlankPage · 17/12/2018 09:49

Huge congrats reastie Flowers. Our dds are the same age, i joined these threads when she was around 2 and I can remember us talking when they were about to start reception (can’t believe they’re actually in juniors now, time flies!). I bet she’s really excited for a little brother or sister. Really hope your sickness subsides soon. (You won’t rember me btw, I’ve had about a million name changes!)
IHope, is there any chance you could contact the companies you bought your vouchers from and explain that they’ve been stolen, ask them to cancel those vouchers so the thief can’t spend them and send new ones to you? Might be worth a shot?
SheepWith Claire’s used to do nail sets like that, going back a few years ago now though but maybe worth a look to see if they still do?

SweetPeaPods · 17/12/2018 10:17

Congratulations Reastie!
Just a reminder for anyone with O2 priority, just saved £10 on FiLs present on a virgin experience voucher.
