Thank you for all the congrats and messages on the last thread. I didn’t reply to all of them as I thought it might be dull reading for everyone but I really appreciate the advice, understanding and general congratulatory comments. Bad news is I’m still stuck on the sofa feeling sick, but at least it won’t last forever (thank goodness!).

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.

I didn't think we were allowed to promote our own business neddle, but yours keeps popping up.

Went to town with DC this afternoon and it was so busy that I couldn't really have a proper look at the things I wanted to see. Card Factory had 50% off Christmas stock so I picked up some lovely big gift bags and a few cards for parents, sister etc. Boots was also 50% off but I'm not sure if that still included 3 for 2 or not. It was better than their online sale anyway where everything was out of stock.

Evening! Anyone spotted any cheap playmobil or Lego advent calendars in the sales? x

Vicious2018 · 27/12/2018 20:45

Some tescos have Lego calendars at £11.50. I bought extra friends one.

Yeknom · 27/12/2018 20:57

Oh thanks vicious! I'll go take a looksie x

PamelaEwing · 27/12/2018 23:36

Cards and gift wrap half price in M&S today. Also lots of nice baby toys and books as well as clothing all half price. Clothing rails were like a jumble sale with stuff all over the floor so I gave it a miss. Picked up some nice jewellery for myself though Grin. Body Shop had 50% off too.

NoWordForFluffy · 28/12/2018 10:11

Sainsbury's £2.50 cards down to 50p. Didn't look at wrapping paper but imagine it's similar.

WoahBodyforrrm · 28/12/2018 11:17

Does anyone know if Hush still do a referral scheme?

imsorryiasked · 28/12/2018 13:23

Ecookshop have an extra 10% off with code SALE10 - various Christmas ranges inc Spode, portmerion, villeroy & bosch etc.
Most items are half price. (Disclaimer- I don't know whether the rrp is genuinely what these are normally on sale for).
I particularly liked the Wrendale 12 days of Christmas baubles

purpleelk · 28/12/2018 13:25

Boden taking extra 20% including sale items once in your shopping cart. Some lovely bargains 70-80% off.

purpleelk · 28/12/2018 13:29

Sorry, use E5F2 for the extra 20% off

Rockhopper81 · 28/12/2018 15:00

Have ordered the 12 Days of Christmas bauble imsorryiasked - they’re lovely! Thanks for the link. Xmas Smile

PinkDaydreams · 28/12/2018 15:16

Lots of Harry Potter bits in the Boots sale online

RagamuffinCat · 28/12/2018 15:38

I have wanted those Wrendale tree decorations for months now but just couldn't justify buying them! I have now ordered myself a set and look forward to them arriving - thank you :)

Jessica78 · 28/12/2018 15:49

Thanks for the Boden code @purpleelk - I'd been dithering over my basket!

PinkDaydreams · 28/12/2018 16:05

Has anyone seen any bargainous sand and water tables please? Honestly thought I’d find one at a good price (being it winter) but they’re all still full price!

QOD · 28/12/2018 19:23

There don’t seem to be any decent PROPER Xmas decs and trees yet

fleshmarketclose · 29/12/2018 10:43

Thank you for the Wrendale decorations link, was tempted to buy them before Christmas but managed not to. Delighted to have bought them for less than half price.

PinkDaydreams · 29/12/2018 13:01

Sainsburys have lots of Harry Potter things reduced.

PurpleTigerLove · 29/12/2018 13:59

Amazon have a Legoa unikitty set reduced to 10.50 form £30 . I thought I’d taken a screenshot. Probably easy enough to find

PurpleTigerLove · 29/12/2018 13:59

*lego

PurpleTigerLove · 29/12/2018 14:01

It’s this one

Hello all! Hope Christmas went well.

I'm avoiding the sales as we have to buy a new boiler, sigh.

However - just wanted to say thank you to the person who recommended the usborne write and draw your own comic book books months ago.

They've been a huge hit!

Gentlygently · 29/12/2018 17:02

Can I add my thanks? The bits I bought with the monsoon code were great. So was the Lego I bought when HP Lego was reduced. And the Lego huge 3 boxes in one set when that was reduced in Tesco. So thanks all!

DaisyChops · 29/12/2018 20:25

Saw this sand and water table in Argos clearance, quite a few good offers there, unfortunately most of the toys I'd already got for Christmas but got a few other bits. Off to order uni-kitty now, thanks for the tip, been looking for some cheap Lego!

Also wanted to say a big thanks to all the bargains and advice shared here.

And if anyone wants a really silly game egged on was hilarious. The girls asked for pie face but due to allergies I bought this instead. Basically you take it in turns to splat an egg on your head, if it's the one filled with water you are out 😂 currently £4 in Argos well worth the money!
