Urgh 😔 can you just stop the thread temporarily please 🙏 unexpected big expenses mean I need to halt my Christmas preparation

I'm really glad I've been able to get some good bits put aside so far, and hopefully you will have some good deals for me when I allow myself to look again 😂 if I see any good deals, I'll pop in with my eyes shut to share them 🤣

I'm thinking about getting DH a coffee machine. I know nothing about them so any bargains and advice would be welcomed

@Bluewavescrashing the same trains are on ebay for much much less. Im desperate for a christmas train but the only decent one I have seen is expensive.

@Vebrithien - TAKE10 for QVC?

Would anyone like a £10 off £10+ spend at Celtic & Co - I got a card through the door but I won't use it. Postage is still £5 - there are sheepskin insoles for £12 - but not sure I really need them even for £7 delivered?
The referral is £20 off a £70 spend - I've put a link on the referral thread (which is on the Christmas area too for the PP who was asking where it was) But if someone else has a referral link there - use theirs as I'm not sure I want the temptation to spend more there myself!

@buckeejit my postage from clearance shed was only 2.99. Are you not in the UK?

@Verbrithien code FIVE4U should take £5 off, no minimum spend for new customers. I had one of their beauty boxes in the summer for £20, it was excellent.

Not sure how long this offer is on for but for £10.90 you get three editions of Great British Food and a free full sized bottle of Marmalade gin. Obviously remember to cancel the direct debit once you have the gin!

Hobbycraft have 20% off with code EMAIL20

Neal’s yard have 20% off until Friday

@mogtheexcellent thanks, I have decided to be sensible and not buy the Christmas tree train. I bought some lovely ribbon instead. My Cox and Cox referral is on the Christmas referral thread [santa]

Accessorize sale started online. In store from tomorrow. Code FREEDEL will give free delivery on any order no matter how small.

@Fueledwithfairydustandgin what type? Filtered/pods?

Couldn't resist the Cox and Cox paper so thank you @Bluewavescrashing for the code. Mine is now on refferals x

Oohh thanks @MyIncapableOne for the Neal's Yard code.

Apologies if already posted and I've missed it! A couple of Costco things, not sure how they compare to prices elsewhere. They also had 2x£20 Nando's cards for £33.

And these:

Bridget jones thank you so much for the magazine/marmalade gin offer. What an absolute bargain!

I am so so annoyed, my ASOS advent calendar arrived today but someone’s gone through it and stolen everything!! There was a stack of paper at the bottom and some of the empty boxes on top, I’m actually raging. Tried their live chat but it wasn’t working so sent them an email. Has this happened to anyone before??! There was randomly a little packet of smooshed chocolate cereal things too.

Thanks @NotPennysBoat for the topcashback Lego advent tip. I’ve just become a new customer so eligible for the offer, do you know if it will work if I back order the Harry Potter one? And how long does it take for you to get the Cashback? No idea why I’ve never used a cash back site before.

@bagginses you're welcome. Thanks for using it too, I've got £20 credit now ⭐

I don't be know I literally know nothing about them

Sorry that was in reply to @Whitecandle

Can someone please post the referral link - I can't seem to find it 🙈

Big Hatchimals mystery egg reduced to £19.99 at the entertainer here

Bridget Jones - thank you from me too. The gin, assuming it is full size as they say, is £30 to buy. Makes a nice little present for someone

Hoping the Hatchimals can hold that price until Monday 😬I've also got into a pickle this week but can resume shopping next week. Had a huge row (with myself) about the spode plates too. I resisted as I'm the only person in the house that doesn't smash crockery so nobody else would be allowed to use them

Ok here's an odd one. Years ago I was given an ornament of yellow and black Labrador's dressed as if they were on a hunt complete with caps and guns. I didn't really like it and accidentally broke it - honestly!! Now that I've got two labs I'd really like to buy it as a gift for my DH but I can't find anything like it! Can anyone help please?
