@Emiliemoo they're here but lots of letters sold out online.

And congrats!

@imsorryiasked Thank you!!

Don't know how I missed them! I was able to order 3 out of 4 letters I need so hopefully I'll be able to get my last one in store 🤞🏻

Not remotely Christmassy but I’ve made a manic Muddy Puddles order as we haven’t really got enough outdoor winter gear and the weather has changed. They’ve sent me a 20% off with a referral code and £10 off for me. I’ll put the link on the referral thread if anyone is interested.

For pp who asked about ugg boots and Celtic boots.
I have both, theres nothing between them. They are equally good. I tend to go for uggs because they have better sales offers.
Celtic have a clearance page, but finding boots in your size is rare. Ugg email me often with codes or offers and they have different styles, a lot of different styles.
Celtic, I have seen about 6 different styles so far.
Anyway for me its down to the best offer I can find on the day I'm buying boots.

These Havaianas are a bargain 6 pounds on Urban Outfitters. Only size 4/5 left though.
Don’t know if the student discount will work.

Not a massive bargain but I've just bought this for my friend for Christmas - large Kate Spade candle in gift box reduced from £40 to £26 then an additional 20% took it down to £20.80 - ignore that the code says it's valid until 31/10, it worked for me.

@NormaLouiseBates Thank you for the candle link. Really lovely and great gift.

@Emiliemoo

The Handmade Christmas Co. has beautiful two tone stockings and today if you use the code 'stocking' it brings them down to £10 from £16 and I think free delivery too. You can choose the letter when you order.

I know everyone likes a bit of class and sophistication at Christmas, so I found these

@Emiliemoo

Oh just seen you've ordered some but maybe it will help someone else!

@lazymoz, thank you so much for the Superdrug mention. That is an epic deal on the makeup. I have spent days looking at Revolution make-up and watching numerous tutorials - been going round in circles - I only wear mascara so it’s been an education! I finally ordered a load of stuff last night so I’ve just had to email them to cancel it. This gift set is so much better and really good value ( It’s for my DD14, she’ll love it). I had a slight panic when I saw it was out of stock for home delivery but thankfully you can collect from store. Phew!

Will try link to Handmade Christmas Co. monogrammed glitter hessian stockings £10 and free delivery (down from £16) with code 'stocking'. Have added a photo of options hope it works.

I’m looking for nice initials to put on each of our stockings. Has anyone seen any please? Preferably not from China etc as they will take forever to arrive!

Or a bauble or tag of some description? I bought stockings earlier on in the year in the sale so just want something to hang on each to identify which one belongs to whom.

Sainsbury’s Nectar Double Up - I put my ‘qualifying’ items on the conveyor then the divider thing followed by my ‘non qualifying’ food stuff etc. Opened up the app ready. When the total came up I tapped the appropriate number of double ups on the app and scanned it straight away. Easy. Much more straight forward than I thought it would be. Even got a triple points coupon given with receipt for first load which I used straight away for the ‘non qualifying’ load.
Must admit most of it was drink for Xmas - had to choose Taste The Difference wines/sherry etc as they were the qualifying ones. Double up also worked on the Xmas cards.
I felt I’d done Mumsnet proud :)

For anyone with an M&S 20% off code these Nuxe crackers are only £8.40. I've bought a few for teachers gifts etc - they look more impressive in real life as the box is about 30cm tall, and Nuxe stuff always smells beautiful!

@buffythevampireslayer91 referral links to go on referral thread linked in post 1 or 2 please

@BunnyBerries thank you, they are gorgeous too. I may have to reconsider my other order

Sale on at Claire's Accessories. 50% off nearly everything.

So, given the thread title, what do you all think?
Have had 2 miscarriages (both needing surgery) this year, including finding out on Mother's Day at our 12 week scan.

A brand new thread baby. Congratulations Vebrithien! I can definitely see a line.

for you vebrithien, it looks positive to me.

Oh wow @Vebrithien, truly a thread baby, many congratulations
