Thats what i did, I am honestly so pleased with it. It smells the same and it was a fiver! Even the body sprays in boots are getting on for that.

Sainsburys have their 25% off wine when you buy 6 or more bottles. I’ve just stocked up (supposedly for Christmas, but let’s face it it will probably be gone by then!)

it wont let me go to checkout at DrB... not sure what I am doing wrong.

I think John Lewis my be price matching some playmobil as well? Got a nice water pedalo set for just over a tenner.

Thank you for the tip!

They also have a women's 50% off clothing sale, good stock if you know someone's taste very well.

Nickdrake, it was a bit erratic for me too but it did eventually check out, keep trying

I was debating the £100 peppa pig play house for my DS this year but just noticed this new one to Argos down to £25 from £50 for any peppa fans out there...

I’ve ordered cleansing bars for me. I don’t need them, nor had I ever heard of the brand before. Baa!

Wilko had tubs of celebrations for £3 and choc oranges for 75p, milk and dark.

I have ordered a Lego advent calendar as a new customer through top cash back as I was getting one anyway so thanks for that.

Well, let's hope my family want vegan soap for Christmas

Thanks Noodle, yes finally let me. What a great bargain.
I have a few family members who only use vegan products and are very eco aware so I am doing them a hemp gift bag with some resuable "cotton pads" these and a couple of the soaps. I have been using the pads for a while now and wont go back to cotton wool.

This made me laugh so much, I think this should be the next thread title!!!

Did anyone who ordered the finger puppets way back in the threads receive theirs yet? Just noticed my Amazon tracking is now showing package is likely lost and to contact seller

just a heads up for people giving gift vouchers as presents, cardyard has the brand gift vouchers for discounts (eg: a £15 itunes giftcard for £13.50) as you can trade in ones you aren't going to use for ones you are, and the ones you give in are sold on x

My Aldi had Toy Story and Little Mermaid fat quarters in today in the middle aisle. Bit niche maybe, and no idea if of any use to anyone, but thought I'd mention it in case anyone is up to anything crafty and can use them.

Does anyone know as it’s the first time I’ve used topcashback should anything appear in my account straight away for this Lego offer? I’m worried I’ve done it wrong and won’t get anything back. Nothing pending or otherwise is showing in my account yet from ordering earlier.

Molton Brown have 10% off and free delivery for everything until the end of this week. No code, it’s automatically applied at checkout

Does anybody have a code for My 1st Years? Or another place to get cute baby backpacks

Thanks

Thanks so much for the DrB heads up. £14.50 bars of soap must be really amazing, right? even more so when they cost £1.50

@Fueledwithfairydustandgin a bag of coffee seems to last a long time for dh. No waste either. Much more eco friendly than pods!

@Elphaba17 haha and I'm not even joking I bought so many 🙈

@PaddingtonBearHardStare I haven't received mine either. Have emailed the seller. Usually that triggers a refund.

Got marzipan flavoured after eights in B&M today...didn't know such a thing existed! They also had mango and pineapple but didn't fancy those. £1.99 for a normal sized box.

@margaritasbythesea they emailed back apologising and asking for photos which I’ll have to do tonight as I’ve had poorly dds here today who won’t leave me alone (it’s for one of them) I’m so worried though about my delivery driver as he’s so lovely and been delivering to us for years I don’t want anything to come back on him, somethings obviously happened to it at some point though it’s blatantly obvious someone has gone in and stolen the items. Disappointing to say the least.

@tentative3 do you remember how much the fat quarters were please? Myself and dd sew stuff for her dolls with them so would be fab for us, thank you.

Aldi fat quarters were £ 4.99 and they had Disney princesses as well.

I think they were £4.99 @Jammiebammie but you know how it is with the Aldi aisle of crap, it's not always totally obvious. There looked to be a good quantity in each bundle.

Ooooh thank you @LazyDaisey and @tentative3 they look amazing I neeeeeeed!! Wonder how on earth I can convince dh to go to aldi for them 🤔
