@ReindeerPoop no wonder Jeffrey Starr is minted! He makes £25 from a single mirror

To defend your daughter, I probably would have asked for one of them as a teen

CamdenTownie. I don’t know how to highlight your name sorry.....

We have a Lego pizza delivery van and I think there’s a hot dog van which are not in the Lego friends series

@louise5754 could you PM me a link to that perfume site please ? Thank you.

@Snooky17 I don't know it was @tentative3 who was asking thanks.

To add to the Birchbox offer of 2 boxes for £10 plus £2.95 delivery - go via topcashback for £1.01 cashback, making it even more of a bargain. Mine will be going into stockings and DD’s advent calendar.

Ginxed do you have a referral code for Birchbox you could add to the referral thread? I'm going to order the 2 boxes for £10 and figured someone may as well get something from it as well.

Another one who's just used the last Cox and Cox referral on the referrals thread to get us both £20 off a £25 spend!!! Wrapping paper looks fab and it's 20m rolls. 40m of wrap for £5! Postage adds £5.95, but still seriously bargainous, thank you so much @Chocolateteabag I bloody love this thread!

If anyone wants to do the same and get £20 off £25 Cox and Cox, I've put my referral link at the end of the referrals thread x

@tentative3 could it be Rogers Wholesale? I don't know whether they sell online though, I think it's just open to the public warehouses.

Does anyone know if there is going to be a hatchimals advent calendar this year? I don’t think I’ve seen one... my daughter is obsessed with the flippin things tho so hoping one appears?

@IBelieveInPink BargainMax have them for £14.99 at the moment. I think you get a discount signing up to their newsletter. Free delivery over £15.

Not sure what is going on with the Argos toy sale I left the lol bubbly surprise in my basket yesterday as it was advertised as being half price in the media. Open the page and try to check out at half price - not in stock anywhere, not in stock for home delivery
I refresh the whole thing and it goes back to original price!

The bubbly set shows full price on main page but it does show £15 in basket, but yes literally stock is terrible!! Think alot of people reserved them early ready to collect cheaper. Closest collection day for me is next mon
Argos price changes etc don’t normally kick ok on the main page until around 6/7am. I’ve just reserved the lego friends set and a doll both full price on main page sale price in basket x

The two items I had in my Argos trolley are now showing at half price, unfortunately DH and I can't remember if DS1 has already got that Lego set

It lets me get to the reserve and pick up next Monday but no further no stock anywhere and none for delivery.
Absolutely rubbish that they’ve advertised a big sale and then no stock at all. Going to smyths instead.

I can’t reserve anything at Argos, says reserve and collect tomorrow, add it to my basket then when you go to basket it says it’s not in stock can’t continue with collection. It’s so frustrating. Was like that all yesterday as well at all the different stores I chose.

I'm having the same problem with Argos. I have been able to check out and pay for a Lego friends set. It will be ready to collect after 4pm today apparently but for the other items I want I can't check out, even though it says available to reserve to collect Friday/Monday!!

Artists and craft-ists, you can get 20% off almost all full-price items at Hobbycraft* until 11.59pm on Fri 27 Sep. Enter the code OFFER20 at the online checkout or mention at the till before paying in store (find your nearest). Delivery's £4.50, or free for orders of £20 and above. Free click and collect is available for orders of £10 or more. Only sewing machines and sale items are excluded.

On mse email as pp was looking for ribbon etc

Typical Argos sale then! The thing I reserved isn't half price so it's better getting it from Smyths.

I'm keep looking at all these lovely things being linked too and could easily spend so much!

Has anyone seen any nice hot drink cups with screw on lids rather than the rubber push on ones?

@ReindeerPoop oh dear 😂

@Allmyarseandpeggymartin @Betsy86 I’m having the same problem. It says there is stock in my local store for the LOL bubbly surprise but then when I get to checkout it says there is no stock in local or any nearby stores. And not available for home delivery.

Really terrible from Argos. No wonder the Smyths sale is so popular. Won’t bother with Argos for future.

I am a bit suspicious of the Argos sale prices, at least three things I have been tracking on Amazon for a few months are similar prices to the Argos sale!

Apologies if this is a repeat but I’ve just noticed an Amazon deal where if you use Amazon ‘Top up’ for the first time and add £80 they give you a free £6. 7.5% seems a good bonus when I’m bound to spend that over the next few months...

@MyIncapableOne thank you so much, but that is last years one. Was hoping there may be a new one this year, but it seems not.

Lol surprise house down to £135 on Argos. Cheaper than smyths. Pretty pleased with that result!
