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.

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

@BobDobbs thanks. I don’t have a co op near me but managed to get what I needed from Aldi.

Bought the kids Xmas PJs but they are too big for my superskinny DC! Urgh, can anyone recommend a high street/supermarket that is best for slim fit PJS please? Many Thanks!

fairiesandelves · 21/12/2018 12:22

All my lands end stuff just arrived. Two orders both complete. Tracking on one still says at national sorting so anyone still waiting don't despair. And they are all fab. Fleeces great quality and roll necks too. Thank you so much to the poster for this.

AlbusPercival · 21/12/2018 12:24

Thanks again @iggi999 DS will flip

@thunderbolt my 2 blankets came in separate parcels one dispatch email at 1am yesterday a d one at midnight last night bith just came together now. They are with myhermes and my experience is they are more likely to arrive before xmas with them than royal mail.

fleshmarketclose · 21/12/2018 13:01

My Land's End orders are out for delivery, I'm really impressed as it was a last minute thing so wasn't expecting them before Christmas.

Iggi999 · 21/12/2018 13:15

I’m making one in the garden as I figure reindeers don’t come into the house!

Jfw82 · 21/12/2018 13:32

Good job I didn't need my lands end blanket for Christmas.... not sure it would've gone down well with the wrong name on! Only one letter different but completely different name - oh well will save the hassle of sending it back for a replacement until the new year

Justyou · 21/12/2018 13:42

I have a hotel chocolate code if any use? It’s £5 off £25 or £10 off £50 and I think can order today for Christmas still

broughts · 21/12/2018 14:14

All the Christmas clothing was being massively reduced in my Sainsbury’s at lunchtime. Children’s jumpers £3-4 and T-shirts about £2. Adults stuff reduced too. They had loads left in mine.

HashTagLil · 21/12/2018 14:17

My 3x monogrammed fleece throws for just £6.xx each from Lands End arrived today, so thank you to whoever posted about them.

I’ve got to collect my Argos order from sainsburys later on.....I do not need a Christmas jumper I do not need a Christmas jumper!!

CookieSwirlC · 21/12/2018 14:55

I’ve just got my calendar from bonus print and one of the bloody photos is sideways! I’m so bloody annoyed at them, it was the right way up when I did the order. Going to have to give my nan a duff calendar now and hope they sort a replacement out ASAP. I’ve emailed them but when I emailed over a week ago about when I could expect my delivery and they didn’t reply I’m not holding out much hope that I’ll get a response any time soon.

duriandurian · 21/12/2018 14:55

Did anyone subscribe to Real Homes and already receive their Emma Bridgeater cup? I am still waiting... Have had emails about the mag but that is less of interest tbf!

Theonlyoneiknow · 21/12/2018 15:06

Another Lands End fail here. Ordered 6 blankets and only 5 will arrive. Why do they think that will be ok? I can't really give everyone except my dad and then he will leave before it is even dispatched! Sorry moan moan!

FuriousFifties · 21/12/2018 15:34

I think most companies really do try their best. They must be swamped at the moment.

Thanks for the bargains this year, don't tend to contribute much these days except my Boden vouchers 😊

ChristmasDaydreams · 21/12/2018 15:42

Hardly any Christmas clothes left in my sainsburys Xmas Confused

fairiesandelves · 21/12/2018 15:59

Theonlyone don't give up yet on LE. My email notification said only 1 blanket would arrive but all 4 did. Placed two orders and received 4 parcels

OldBrownShoe · 21/12/2018 17:07

I can’t remember if it was on this thread that someone asked, but I have a 20% off just eat code if anyone wants it!

My Lands End order has (finally) arrived. The one dispatched on Monday and the one dispatched on Thursday arrived together today

Graffitiqueen · 21/12/2018 18:07

My magpie order has just arrived and the little tins with a credit card tool in are fab. Can’t believe they were selling them for £1!!

My landsend herringbone blankets have also arrived and they are fab.

Just one personalised water bottle and some whisks for my baking hampers to arrive now.

Alanamackree · 21/12/2018 18:11

Not on the high street sale

nocutsnobuttsnococonuts · 21/12/2018 19:27

I don't know if it's a local store or nationwide one but toy barnhaus price match any high street store or refund if you find it cheaper within 7 days. I wanted the catching stars game that's £5 in Argos but was out of stock in a store i could get to. they price matched as it was in stock at a shop 30+ miles away! I'm so happy and will likely go back for birthday presents 😁
