Coffee how did you get one for £28?!! They are much more than that (or have you bought them all!)

imnottoofussed · 09/10/2019 19:31

2 days away and I've just caught up (but missed a few bargains). So far I've bought a harry potter origami, lego advent calendar and some Dr B soaps and jotted down some items from the lakeland stocking fillers section to buy on payday

CoffeeAndEnnui · 09/10/2019 19:49

@DangerousMouse, there were lavender floral ones right at the top of the home sale section for £40 flipping quid. The code worked and took another £12 off. Total result.

I tried to buy two immediately but it said there was not enough stock. Went back cheekily a few mins later in case anyone with it at check out had changed their mind and it let me take a second one through. Have been refreshing my email constantly in case it gets cancelled but had orders confirmed so think (HOPE) I'm all good.

Also chucked in a very cool crystal (the healing one not bling) print phone case with each order which at £2.10 took me into free shipping territory.

I now feel much better about missing the Jacques of London bargains (sob) and the TopCashBack bonuses. I still plan to buy some of the Jacques items regardless, they are so beautifully presented!

@PinkDaydreams this is a good weather gift - LINK

DangerousMouse · 09/10/2019 20:00

Thanks Coffee, I've got one! My 15 year old DD will love it, now to build her a vinyl collection.. anyone know anything about Grime?

Thepearofwisdom · 09/10/2019 20:04

Can someone please remind me about Harry Potter origami? X

Thepearofwisdom · 09/10/2019 20:06

Random kiss sorry

CoffeeAndEnnui · 09/10/2019 20:06

Funnily enough, I'm getting myself this which might sit oddly alongside my usual '90s throwback grunge, power ballads and cheesy old soundtracks but I'm rather taken with it!

Tigger83 · 09/10/2019 20:08

My singing mice from cox and cox arrived! I love them!!

CoffeeAndEnnui · 09/10/2019 20:08

(Stormzy album link was for you, @DangerousMouse)

SayNoToCarrots · 09/10/2019 20:08

Devastated I missed the cruiser

IJustWantToWearDungarees · 09/10/2019 20:11

@EvilHerbivore, it was on Groupon - link is here: www.groupon.co.uk/browse/coventry-and-warks?lat=52.41&lng=-1.51&query=National+geographic&address=Coventry+%26+Warks&division=coventry-and-warks&locale=en_GB

Obvs can't guarantee it is full price discounted - it should only be half price. I suspect my code was a mistake! 😀

Smileatthesmallthings · 09/10/2019 20:14

@OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny Thanks for the Tokyo tip - mum's hubby sorted!

Bluewavescrashing · 09/10/2019 20:15

I've just seen the thread title. Thanks for making my day! 😁

DangerousMouse · 09/10/2019 20:16

Stormzy's too 'mainstream' apparently.. she likes Pro Green and easy (that's not how it's spelt though!) might stick to one of them to be safe!

Emiliemoo · 09/10/2019 20:21

@Smileatthesmallthings we have that teepee. We bought it in the summer (on sale) from Rex london. Would definitely recommend xx

livingthegoodlife · 09/10/2019 20:22

@04Thepearofwisdom I bought the Harry potter origami but actually I'm a bit disappointed and thought it was fairly expensive for what it comprises. The book is "ok" but not much content and only 20 pages of origami. It's ok as a novelty gift but I wouldn't buy it again.

It was on Amazon...

Daphine2004 · 09/10/2019 20:34

Decided to keep my Dr. B soap and customer service refunding the offer which didn’t go through. So they’ve been great. I’m disappointed by some of the scents as I was expecting Lush type fragrance, but some are quite muted and others old lady overwhelming. I’m wouldn’t pay full price for them and will have some nice soaps to gift to great aunts this Christmas.

Also bought surprise bag of clothes. I muddled my way through danish site, became frustrated and then gave up. Noticed a confirmation of order email a few hours ago so I must have done something right! It was also free postage. My son is only a few weeks old but I’m putting them away for nursery clothes next year!

Theimpossiblegirl · 09/10/2019 20:37

The gin box is amazing but I'm keeping mine. :)

NoWordForFluffy · 09/10/2019 20:40

I have 2 x M&S 20% off codes if anybody would like one?

What was the UO code? What's a Crossley Cruiser? What bargain did I miss?!

Notasyoungasiwas · 09/10/2019 20:42

@Thepearofwisdom I bought two HP origami books about two months ago from The Book Depository. From memory o think it was buy one get one half price but that was a long time ago I'm afraid. I wrapped them at the weekend and had a quick flick through. I must say they look pretty good!

@IsThisReallyaBirthmark ahhh glad its the right one. Thats interesting if there is another round, i may have to get more!

CoffeeAndEnnui · 09/10/2019 20:55

@DangerousMouse, that makes sense, I would be surprised if my taste was wildly up to dateWink Epic album though and I will own it as soon as it drops back down to £18 again. This thread has made me thrifty in all things.

HelloSweetlings · 09/10/2019 20:59

Morrison's have their bogof toy sale on, in store only.
Can't remember if there was anything decent last year compared to other supermarkets
