So it’s not a thread all about ethical stuff (good grief there’s a lot of plastic tat that’s been purchased by me from these threads over the years) but with our current obsession with soap bars and shampoo bars and then I think it was fireflygirl who did the quote and it tickled me.

Just a reminder you can watch the thread by clicking on ‘watch this thread’ at the top of the first message. It’s much easier for everyone than so many place marking every time which can use up a fair chunk of each thread to scroll through Thanks

@XmassyMumsy try Buckley London, gorgeous dress jewellery and a decent sale going on there.

[ChristmasSeacow] Links of London often do 20% off codes so if you don't need until Christmas I would hang on and wait - if I get a code I will post on here.

recklessgran · 01/10/2019 00:29

@ChristmasSeacow I think if you subscribe to their newsletter you get a 10% off code by e-mail. Sorry, not much but better than nothing I guess.

mnaab · 01/10/2019 01:39

20% off glossybox egifts with code GIFTGLOSSY

You know you've got a problem when your DC wakes you up at 2:30 AM having wet the bed (through ALL the layers 😩) and your first thought is, 'ooh, now I can check the Christmas thread!'🙈😂

@ChristmasSeacow Links of London also have an eBay outlet which can have some good deals

IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts · 01/10/2019 02:38

Sorry - eBay link here

@IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts that's what I always do whilst DH feeds 8 week old DS! Grin

My Topcashback for the Lego advent calendar has appeared in my pending, I bought one on back order last Thursday and i got a dispatch email yesterday. I was worried I’d done something wrong with it and been checking each day so I’m happy. Also got a dispatch email from Grüum but there wasn’t a code or anything like they promised so I wonder if they’ve put something in with my order.

noodledoodler · 01/10/2019 07:18

20% off at Luluguinness with code LULURED

mrsdiddlydoo · 01/10/2019 07:32

Lego calendar... I ordered last Thursday night and this morning finally have a cashback pending in topcashback! Was worried for a bit then. Calendar has also been marked as dispatched (HP one). Amazing... Going to have one super happy boy.

LazyDaisey · 01/10/2019 07:41

I ordered last Wednesday, the calendar has already come, but my topcash is still pending.

If any of you are near a Costa coffee express machine (think Tesco’s have them) -
Grab yourself a free coffee today! There’s a list of non participating locations posted on HDUK.

Shantotto · 01/10/2019 07:49

Thanks so much for the Bruder tips! That £60 at Smyths looks promising.

DS likes crafty bits and cutting and sticking - he needs some good quality but safe scissors and I’ve no idea what to get him. I always look at those big jumper craft packs they stock in hobbycraft etc but I just don’t think he’d get much use out of the toot in there. I want to get him some decent quality stuff but don’t know where to start! Any ideas from those with crafty kids? Looking for a nice Christmassy stamp set too.

Oh might help some people - 75% sale at lands end (them again!) and also I got free delivery when I went on the website. I got loads a few bargain threads ago and am really happy with it.

Courtney555 · 01/10/2019 08:05

Fellow bargain hunters, dad wants this for Christmas. Does anyone know of a code/90% off voucher Grin that will take the sting out of this...

If there's anyone who doesn't already have exploding kittens, Amazon have it down to £13.50 (best ever price).

IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts · 01/10/2019 08:27

@imsorryiasked what age would you say exploding kittens is best for?

PaddingtonBearHardStare · 01/10/2019 08:40

@IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts DS was 7 when we got his last Christmas. It is a good family game but it's really not work the money at full price. Ditto the expansion packs

One word of advice, there is an explicit adult version (NSFW). Don't accidentally buy that and not notice until you come to wrap it up and wonder why it refers to boobs on the box like I did Blush

Outedsochanged · 01/10/2019 08:41

Coconuts, my 8 year old and 14 year old both love exploding kittens, so it has a wide spread. The older they get the more sly they get with it!

Reastie · 01/10/2019 09:06

Exploding kittens?!!

Not Christmassy (unless you add gingerbread syrup) but you can get free coffee from any Costa machine all day today

snowmanshoes · 01/10/2019 09:42

I’ve just checked my sparks account and got 20% off for several departments and I haven’t bought anything from them in an age so check your sparks accounts guys!

ClosedAuraOpenMind · 01/10/2019 09:46

two Emma Bridgewater 1/2 pint mugs for £30 today - for world coffee day, apparently

Jessica78 · 01/10/2019 09:48

My lego advent calendar is also now dispatched and showing as pending on top cashback - frankly I can't believe it! Will have a very happy errrrr DH!

PinkJam · 01/10/2019 09:51

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help. DN has asked her Mum for LOL Surprise bigger surprise but a winter disco themed one? We have looked online and can only see the LOL amazing surprise, the winter disco OMG dolls or the normal LOL dolls but winter themed? So wondering if it’s an older range one and therefore they don’t sell it anymore? Thanks to anyone that knows.

flooredbored · 01/10/2019 09:59

This lol winter disco bigger surprise is exclusive to Amazon I think
