Tellmeitsnottrue I hope things pick up for you soon.

Tabby cat no train in my primark last week. Think they will sellout quickly.

whitecandle Mrs Melvin was £30 in ASDA down from £50, she's an inflat-a-pal and has a beautiful soft plush covering, plus her head is just pure plush :D I had mine for £24 because my DH works in ASDA and we had 20% off, bargain squee!

To a pp, she isn't for Christmas. My husband bought her because he indulges my inner child :D Who needs diamonds when you have a 6 foot inflatable childrens toy eh?

MyFriendKimberley thanks so much for the MadLugs website, that is brilliant.

@GreatBritishbakeofffan I've messaged you the link. I didn't realise you had to log onto the website to read messages. I've got quiet a fee since 2017

I’d been trying quite hard to not buy a full set of Spode Christmas crockery as I knew DH wouldn’t approve even though he loved the two mugs I bought recently for the DDs to have Christmas hot chocolate in and then along come @Courtney555 with the cheap bowls... Amazing! Thank you, having our Xmas pudding in these will fulfil my Christmas crockery craving!!

@HolyShmoly we've used cornerstone for the past two years after getting the idea from this thread, he really likes it so I'd definitely recommend as he is fussy! I'd love to refer you, he wants some more face wash so that would save me paying out

@imsorryiasked great price for Harry Potter cards (I double checked elsewhere), that's 2 stocking fillers sorted, thankyou! 47p topcashback from it too every little helps!

@NoWordForFluffy did you notice if they had the mince pie Irish cream in yet? It's absolutely lush. Been dreaming of it all year 🤣

Just swiped the last 3 whip olay creams from my Superdrug and the free gift!!! Thank you so much to whoever posted!!! xx

Can’t remember who wanted a unidays code for paperchase but I could pm one?

My dd has unidays and been trying to generate an asos code but I’ve already used one today and it keeps coming up with the same one.

Ouch! I knew it wouldn't be cheap but that whittards of Chelsea hot chocolate advent calendar is a lot more than I expected. I think I'll keep an eye out to see if they reduce it or have any codes, unless anyone knows of an alternative?

I may be just imagining things but did someone on this thread, or a previous one, mention Where’s Wally baubles?

@Barbarara not sure if it's baubles, but where's wally Christmas decorations/items were mentioned as being in primark now hope that helps

Keep your eye on the reduced section in Tesco. I've just seen a few end of summer things like barbecue tools.

I've just bought a Landmann Steel Barbecue tool set in a flightcase style case for £12.50. Seems really good quality. I can't find the exact set online but Landmann ones seem to be £25+

Lego 60174 city mountain police close to best price ever on amazon

Some discount codes: Cult Beauty I have two codes (one for me which I won't use and one for a friend, single use), both 15% off and valid until end Oct, PM me, first come first served.

Lakeland: 5 off 30 and 10 off 50 - both single use, again, PM me.

And in case anyone doesn't already have an Asda account, new customers can get £20 off a £50 spend using code "20OFFASDA" (numerical twenty followed by alphabetic off, not two zeros!)
Useful for the toys?

⛄️

SPACE NK has £15 off a £60 spend right now. High end beauty goodies but may be useful. www.spacenk.com/uk/en_GB/home-uk?&cm_mmc=PPC%7cGoogle%7cUK--Brand%7cCore--SpaceNK-_-spacenk&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIu6TXgM3p5AIVFuDtCh0ExApPEAAYASAAEgLMofD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Gah ! The slide temptation I just can’t justify it . But I really want it! Family of four about to become 5 too so the set just won’t cut it .
Sorry no bargains .

Spode !!!

Toy Story drop down interactive Woody and Buzz £59.99 down from 79.99 on Amazon.

My DC want these but I’m not sure whether to hang on for a better deal or hope they change their mind between now and Christmas (and choose something cheaper!)

Mince pie irish cream, what sorcery is this?!

@BarkandCheese thanks for the clearance shed recommendation and link. I've just spent ages going through everything on there. Bought a few good Xmas pressies and a few things I didn't even know I wanted/needed but it's a great site for bargains.
Quite a few LOL dolls things for stocking fillers for people who are after them.

@TellMeItsNotTrue that’s what it was. Thank you!

Help me, oh Wise Ones...

I have a gift card for Argos to the princely sum of £1.01

Any bright ideas?

Finally found some cheap decorations for my class presents on Red London but they want £3 postage. Anyone seen any codes around? This thread has ruined me for just buying something.

@BarkandCheese another thank you for clearance shed, some great stuff on there.

A pp was looking for Ryan's World stuff (I think!) - there's a ludo game here
