Thank you for the Clearance Shed link.

I've seen a few things on there I want to get but it's not letting me checkout - I'm getting a message under Shipping saying "Sorry, no quotes are available for this order at this time"

Anyone else having problems?

Does anyone know if the argos offer starts at midnight tonight?

If anyone is shopping at the body shop anyway (£20 spend) and wants a free 50ml body shop vitamin e moisture cream (worth £13) use code 19809

I've caved and bought the Spode! Decided to split into a 2 plate plus mug set for children's presents which worked out at £8.50 per child which seems like a really nice gift at a very good price. Added a serving tray for my sister who already has a complete set of Spode (in part thanks to you lot ) and I'm sure will like something matching for canapés!

@EternallyGrapefruit I've just been looking at Perfume Parlour - do the scents last long? DMIL really likes Marc Jacobs Daisy and we have a secret santa between us rather than present buying and I know I have her this year so thought that might be a nice option but not sure on how well the scent will last.

Can’t stop looking at the sophie allport Christmas ranges just don’t need anything else to fill kitchen cupboards - sooo tempting

Just bought some gorgeous wrapping paper from Cox & Cox, used a code from the referral thread to get £20 off. Thanks for whoever suggested that (and I've added my cox&cox code to the bottom of the referral thread for anyone else wanting it).

Money saving expert had a thing in their weekly email about an offer for Naked wines - 3 x white, 3 x red and a Prosecco plus 2 x glasses for £35! www.moneysavingexpert.com/deals/naked-wines/?utm_source=MSE_Newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=24-Sep-19-50579601-166&utm_campaign=nt-blaggedformse&utm_content=5#51927

I’m placing my order tomorrow when I get paid!

Can someone link the thread code please so I can find it.

@OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny if you create an account before going to checkout the shopping options then come up (£2.99 48hr tracked)

@Stolenidentity do you mean the referral thread...?
Christmas bargains referral thread 1 www.mumsnet.com/Talk/Christmas/3678600-Christmas-bargains-referral-thread-1

imsorryiasked - I've just tried creating an account but I'm still not getting any postage options.

Bugger. Maybe it's not meant to be.

@tooner could it be cut price Barry’s ?

Does Anyone know if you can get a Lego ice cream van or similar that isn't Lego friends?

I want to get dd2 a small Lego set to build but just the one piece rather than lots of little bits, Toy Story would have been great but it's lots of small figures to make.

Wow there are some lovely Christmas bits on Cox and Cox and also the Sophie Allport stuff is gorgeous too. If I was feeling flush I could spend hundreds!! Instead I’ll keep trying to save some pennies and buy DS something from the Smyths/Argos sale.

Could I be cheeky and ask if someone could give me a unidays code for asos?

@Someaddedsugar pm me

Amazon appear to be matching Smyths with lots of toys including Lego with around 20% off.

I'm not sure if this is a bargain or not as mine are not into them but I thought I'd seen a message about funko pops if so the works have some online for £7

Yes I did. Oops and thanks.

DD (12) has just asked for one of these £26 for a handheld mirror??

@ReindeerPoop but you get some free straws!! apparently worth £19

@NNat I had an eBay code but just checked and it’s only for certain sellers. You could try it, it’s ‘PLENTIFUL’. What Lego set are you after?

I’m having a bad week. Haven’t reserved anything at Argos for tomorrow I’ve hit a bit of a slump I think. Hope everyone gets some good bargains, I’ve not got a clue anymore.
