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.

No affiliate links please.

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

Argh, I’m missing all the post Christmas bargains in shops as I’m still stuck at home feeling sick :(

I found a good jelly bean bath crystals set reduced to £2 in B&M today.

QOD · 09/01/2019 17:39

@Reastie you’re not missing much - worst year ever for post Xmas bargains. I went round every super store on the 2/3 Jan and just scraps of crap
Not a bargain in site

Reastie · 09/01/2019 17:56

QOD that’s a shame, but at least I’m not missing much

Thanks for the Shoppix code. I have a referral code if anyone still needs one BQVMNDRU

buckeejit · 09/01/2019 19:55

I bought a smelly variety pack of candles & diffusers from the white company for £40 down from £80 but think it was just about ok for half price. Intending to split it out for gifts.

Nothing else much found at this end either

mycatislickingherpaw · 09/01/2019 20:55

Damn! All these annuals on sale and none near me!! 😡😡

imsorryiasked · 10/01/2019 06:52

I don't suppose anyone has a £10 boden voucher going spare? Would really appreciate a pm if you do. Many thanks.

Betsy86 · 10/01/2019 07:25

If anyone lives nearba cardfactory they have 75% off all xmas stock! Mine didn’t have any single cards left but lots of boxed cards, wrapping paper and gift bags etc.
Also fabric santa sacks, nice gift boxes soft toys etc. Prices were so good!
They also had packs of bows and matching ribbons for 25p. There was lots of xmas colours but firther into the box i found loads of pink, blue and copper colours that will be great for any occasion! I grabbed loads of those to put away. The jumbo xmas bags were 25p x

@unfortunateevents the wrendale baubles are back in stock here

gaggiagirl · 10/01/2019 14:05

The pound shop has Xmas socks reduced to 50p a pair. They aren't all that Christmassy either.

RagamuffinCat · 10/01/2019 15:36

Thank you for the update on the Wrendale baubles! I showed my Mum the ones I had bought for myself and she loved them. She will have her own set for next Christmas now!

imsorryiasked · 10/01/2019 16:22

Not trying to tempt you all (Wink) but there is also a different set of 6 wrendale baubles here
Not quite such a good deal per bauble but still half price (+ 10% code)

Bornlazy · 10/01/2019 17:39

Primark had Santa gel eye masks reduced from £2 to 50p, thought they'd be good for stocking fillers for next year. They also had lip balms reduced from £1 to 50p but that's not quite so much of a bargain.

NoWordForFluffy · 10/01/2019 18:04

My local Dobbies had quite a few gifty-things quite heavily reduced, and there's discounts on both Yankee and Woodwick candies.

Rockhopper81 · 10/01/2019 18:08

I ordered the other set of Wrendale decorations imsorryiasked, because I am weak. I also want pretty decorations on my tree next year, to go with the eclectic range I have at the moment. But mostly because I am weak.

imsorryiasked · 10/01/2019 18:28

Me too rockhopper Blush

RagamuffinCat · 10/01/2019 18:31

I may have bought those Wrendale decorations too. In my defence, I do love Wrendale and they will match my mugs beautifully!

unfortunateevents · 10/01/2019 18:52

Imsorry thank you for the heads up about the Wrendale decorations coming back into stock! I have bought two sets for gifts next year for two SILs (different sides of the family), I know they will love them!

woodwaj · 10/01/2019 23:11

2 of my shoppix codes weren't used so if anyone still needs one here's mine! 47RGJ3I5 . I'm not far off my first fiver! Grin

Rockhopper81 · 11/01/2019 00:54

I got my beauty advent calendar finally. I have been looking for l'occitane calendar for some time. I got it from John Lewis for £24.50.

mycatislickingherpaw · 11/01/2019 13:14

Managed to get 11 out of 22 paw patrol annuals for £1 each. If you live in central/north London and you see discounted ones would you pm please?

Same thing with Star Wars or Lego Star Wars ones.

Thank you!

Bornlazy · 11/01/2019 16:45

I am really shocked that shops are still selling annuals at almost full price. I thought they would all have been getting rid of them for cheap. I’m sure that’s what used to happen.
