Mountain Warehouse have free delivery all weekend, 20% off with code ACORN (inc sale items) and 6.3% TCB.

They're usually good for coats and thermals.

Someone asked about the giraffe, but I think it was bought previously not recently? Asda have this 6 foot one for £30

They were in H&M and were Inthink £8 for adults £6 for children’s. They are pretty thin and poor quality tbh though but for us only need to last for this and next December (I got big enough for dd to wear next year too and baby Reastie has next size for next year). They had pjs in home bargains too (I think they were elf ones) in matching sizes but not the right sizes I needed. I got dh the size 20 women’s ones because they didn’t have the men’s ones out yet and figured they’d be around his size 🤣

Oh gawd, Ive got the three shampoo bars in my basket plus a tin to keep it in but I really don't need it and have never considered a shampoo bar. I'm also very tempted to place another Dr B order even though I don't need the first lot I have ordered. This thread is fatal for impulse buyers like me who have to have stuff just because they are a bargain.lol.

Whitecandle · 27/09/2019 15:29

@Reastie I find the Christmas pjs are always poor quality but for the wear you get out of them I refuse to pay much more than that!!

Size 20 for DH 🤣🤣🤣 Thought it was only me who done this. My OH got a lovely size 20 dressing gown last year from Topshop for Christmas lol!

GraceH24 · 27/09/2019 15:33

@notjustamother my little boy was gifted this one. Very good price for a great quality walker. It also acts as our toy storage for the lounge x

I can’t remember where I saw this - apologies if it’s already been posted on here - but I’ve bought some diamond earrings from H.Samuel for £39 (plus £2.95 p&p) and they’ve just arrived. I’m really pleased with them - a decent size and nice and sparkly. Reduced from £129, apparently.

Cook book not boom 🤦‍♀️

Keep persevering with Argos for the lol bubbly thing......my lovely best friend has managed to get 2 reserved (one for each of our dd) at our local Argos (north east). And last night she managed to find one in a store down south (I was there yesterday but didn't have time to collect so she didn't reserve it).

Keep checking as there must be a few kicking about but they go in and out of stock quickly.

After many years on these threads I finally have something to offer which looks good. After having a lovely cup of tea today in a cafe I googled the supplier. To my enormous surprise an advert for them popped up on Facebook soon after. This loose leaf tea starter kit comes in a range of colours with a choice of teas. Delivery is free and code PROPER gets £10 off bringing it down to £15 delivered. Mines on its way.

@nocutsnobuttsnococonuts the link for the three shampoo bars is here: www.gruum.com/mse-shampoo/?gcid=1434320&utm_source=MSE_Shampoo&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=MSE_Shampoo&v=79cba1185463 if you can only see the single bar swipe across either way on the box with the info and picture in and you should hopefully be able to see the three pack!

Sunshine196 · 27/09/2019 17:03
