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

Thanks @imsorryiasked picked up those peppa books for my niece! x

PaddingtonBearHardStare · 02/10/2019 08:02

Thanks @imsorryiasked. DS2 will be 5 months at Christmas so I've ordered the Peppa Pig books for him to chew

TreeLinedMotorway · 02/10/2019 08:03

A word of caution about Bare Minerals. Earlier in the summer I bought one of their reduced 2018 advent calendars.
As it never arrived I contacted them and they said it’d been returned as my address was not recognised by the post (!!) I elected to have another sent rather than a refund.

This one never arrived either so I’ve contacted them several more times but they’re not responding to any emails.

I’ve now raised a dispute with PayPal as they charged me the £40 as soon as I placed the order.

Redwinestillfine · 02/10/2019 08:10

My botanicals stuff arrived and is gorgeous. I wish I had ordered more because I want to keep most of it Grin

MrsLem · 02/10/2019 08:18

@TreeLinedMotorway I ordered that bare minerals calendar. My first one didn't arrive so I complained and they sent another which also didn't turn up. I managed to sleuth the delivery location and tie it in with a missed call I had. It was delivered to a different company in a business estate near to work where it should have come. The nice chaps from the other place walked it round to my work one lunch time. The same day the original turned up so I have two now. The address on the label was completely different to what I had told them.

CosmicVagina · 02/10/2019 09:04

Thanks @imsorryiasked DS will love those books

PinkDaydreams · 02/10/2019 09:06

Has anyone seen any bargain bath towels? Gutted I dithered when John Lewis had some extremely cheap so I ended up missing out.

Flamingle18 · 02/10/2019 09:21

@PinkDaydreams there's some lovely big mustard/multi colour bath sheets in sainsburys and they were reduced last week. They are really good quality and wash well

babycakes1010 · 02/10/2019 09:24

Has anyone seen any river island codes?

margaritasbythesea · 02/10/2019 09:31

Pinkdaydreams - good offers in Tesco on towels recently. I think it was £3 bath sheet, £2 guest owel. £1 hand towel. Saw a lovely turquoise colour in passing yesterday but had already bought a different colour so I didn't bother to look if the price was the same.

margaritasbythesea · 02/10/2019 09:32

Quidco has 10% cashback at Shoeaholics too. Thanks for the code MSEVERYTHING25. Great bargain. I don't know if they will honour the cashback as they sometimes don't when it is combined with a code. Ordered myself some Geox ankle boots for about £35!

PinkDaydreams · 02/10/2019 10:05

Oh no I haven’t got a tesco anywhere near me :( I’ll go back into Sainsbury’s, I was only in there yesterday and didn’t think to look.

Helssjbells · 02/10/2019 10:08

Hello! Wow I need to get going on my Christmas shopping...haven’t started it yet. Was there a code for Dr Botanicals? X

GirlWithTheYellowHat · 02/10/2019 10:31

Is anyone having issues with their Shoppix app? I scanned receipts from the weekend and they're still pending

AndddddHerewegoagain · 02/10/2019 10:32

Matalan also had bath towels in their sale @PinkDaydreams
Free delivery over £35 if you don't have one nearby

buckeejit · 02/10/2019 10:35

Someone was after Elemis cream - this in in the ASOS advent calendar. I have bought many lovely beauty calendars over the years & think this is the only one I'm buying this year. £70, some good things & if you're a new customer you get 10% off 😁

buckeejit · 02/10/2019 10:37

@Helssjbells - it was AUTUMN50 but think it's over - worth a try though! I'm waiting for my stuff to arrive

recklessgran · 02/10/2019 10:48

Anyone who missed the Dr. Botanicals boat code NORTHEAST20 gets 20% off any size order.
