FUCK IT held out all day but now I’ve given up and bought the birch box deal.

I cancelled my glossy box sub though. So I’ve really saved money, right?

@Dreamingofwalden eventers trilogy is a fantastic book for about that age. I think it was my all time favourite. I also loved all the Jill books and the saddle club ones.
I don’t know how much you spend for the present but maybe something she could wear for her lesson. Riding gloves, a hoody with her name and a picture of a horse on.

@imsorryiasked thanks I was hoping to get the fluffy chenille colourful ones. Only looking for 2 letters though

imsorryiasked · 26/11/2019 20:45

@Fueledwithfairydustandgin how about these?

SlayingDragons · 26/11/2019 20:55

@MartyDoc - thank you! It was me looking for faux fur beanbags. Have tried to check out but when I put in my delivery address (in NI) the delivery charge was suddenly removed from the total and I got this message. I suspect they won’t deliver to NI. Gutted.

@imsorryiasked I’ve not seen those before - absolutely perfect for one of my presents so thank you

Who wanted Avocado bedding? Aldi has Avocado Christmas pillowcases that are quite fun, maybe as an extra?

SlayingDragons · 26/11/2019 20:57

DH just tried to check out and it did the same for him. Sad

SkintSanta · 26/11/2019 20:57

Did someone mention a deal or saving on joy cons? Apparently DN has broke one of his and it appears that is what he will be getting for Christmas from us Confused I’m not sure what the hell I am looking for. They all look the same. What’s cool? Grin

BrightonBB · 26/11/2019 20:57

Watching Martin Lewis Money Saving Expert in TV - please take up these bargains sensibly :)

Girls Hair Clips Set Kids Hair Rops Barrettes Hair Accessories Set www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07ZRS8D5F/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_bjz3DbE9AGF7E

Can vouch these little hair clips are a decent stocking filler if you are willing to risk it on the date.

mycatislickingherpaw · 26/11/2019 21:03

Not Christmassy but a great bargain! Check out this page:
toogoodtogo.co.uk/en-gb
You can buy discounted food from local shops that otherwise would be chucked away. I just checked my area and there’s so much!

Bumblebutts · 26/11/2019 21:08

Thank you for everyone's help with the slippers,

Elphaba17 · 26/11/2019 21:11

Slayingdragons, annoying Aldi don't deliver to NI.

SlayingDragons · 26/11/2019 21:13

Gutted Elphaba - I guess it makes the decision easy for us then - must keep looking.

WisestIsShe · 26/11/2019 21:15

@Ibelieveinyou we like IKEA for reasonably priced cotton bedding.

Elphaba17 · 26/11/2019 21:15

I'm sure you are, it's so annoying when you find something that's perfect only to find out they don't deliver here. Especially when there is no good reason for it!

eastmidswarwicknightnanny · 26/11/2019 21:17

Long time lurker. Love this thread but never had anything to share, until now....Hotel Chocolat have 9% off with CHOC09 (that’s zero nine)

Givealittlebit · 26/11/2019 21:27

Hmm any ideas what the £1 book deal was on the last thread? I've been scrolling for ages but must be missing it!

Longleggedlovely · 26/11/2019 21:28

I’ve seen mention of The Spicery in earlier threads, does anyone have any discount/referral codes please? It looks perfect for FIL!

Dreamingofwalden · 26/11/2019 21:31

Thanks @doctorboo for the suggestion of The Book People. It’s a dangerous place for me but I made it out alive and without too many extra books - just Nigel Slater cookbook for BiL.
@Purpletigers thanks for your suggestion but she already has some Smiggle bargains awaiting Grin.
@Borris that book is absolutely perfect! Thank you so much. She lives in Cornwall and the family often go hiking in Exmoor.

Ibelieveinyou · 26/11/2019 21:34

Thanks @WisestIsShe I’ll take a look!

MrsLeclerc · 26/11/2019 21:34

For anyone who missed Martin Lewis’ live show tonight, he gave his predictions for the pre and post Christmas sales here

He’s also got the dates for the big Boots offers e.g Soap & Glory, No7 etc
