@SlipASomethingUnderThe I just wanted to thank you for the LOL Amazing Surprise deal heads up and link. I wasn’t sure because of the warehouse deal (I wasn’t sure what this was) but ordered it and it’s arrived today. The external box has a very slight rip on the bottom but that’s it. So pleased that I got it and that’s because you shared the link and info so thank you very much Smile

I've just got two £5 subscriptions from isubscribe (5 issues of Prima and 5 issues of Wanderlust) and qualified for a £10 Paperchase voucher. This is in the form of a discount code which is shown on screen after you've completed checkout (had to be DD but will just cancel in due course).
So I've bought some lovely xmas cards that I couldn't have afforded otherwise. The only down side is £1.99 click and collect, and the site wide 25% off is only calculated on the balance after the £10 is deducted, but hey, can't be greedy Smile

WisestIsShe · 30/11/2019 19:10

I'm going to be late to the party and get the white sprocket from Amazon for £69 here

Someone in here had good advice about the paper refills. Please could you remind me?

Rosie2000 · 30/11/2019 19:17

My kids want get me a present and there’s nobody to help them shop but I’d like a bath pillow- does anyone know of a bargain one which most importantly doesn’t go mouldy!

NotYourHolidayDick · 30/11/2019 19:27

Dh is business manager of Audi, please don't all just pile down if you have no intention of buying a car 🙈🙈 He's paid literally thousands for it, and although it's absolutely fine to enjoy and use as you feel fit, please don't take the piss entirely.

That said, I'm taking my kids down 😂

You're best off calling your local dealer rather than googling.

MrsKipling16 · 30/11/2019 19:33

Thank you to a previous poster who shared their Cox & Cox referral code - I used it and got £20 off Flowers

If anyone else is looking for a code and would like to use mine, here it is:

@LikeSilver Yesterday I saw Sainsburys had some giftcards at 20 percent off including The Restaurant Card which can be used in lots of places including Nandos. Hopefully the offer is still available.

noodledoodler · 30/11/2019 20:03

Anyone order the girls hair accessory set from amazon? I ordered two, one arrived so badly damaged it has to go back, the other a little damaged but salvageable - it was for DD and not a gift so I opened it. The items are really gorgeous and unusual tho all just piled into the box. There is a piece of card in the box with pre cut holes to display the pieces nicely so might be worth doing if you are intending to gift this item.

eastmidswarwicknightnanny · 30/11/2019 20:18

Simply be have Jean's and dresses on a multi save but it takes the full multi save deal off sale items so can get 2 pairs Jean's for £5!!! Delivery is £3.95 unless you spend £40 then use code fever for free delivery

eastmidswarwicknightnanny · 30/11/2019 20:19

@Tiredmummyof3 no didnt buy a car and we test drive then saw Santa but we could have just gone to see Santa.

eastmidswarwicknightnanny · 30/11/2019 20:21

@NotYourHolidayDick yeah lots staff today said they had taken their kids.... I test drive as genuinely looking for a new car at moment but when she rang to book us in (I pre booked tickets online) she said she was booking in our grotto visit and did we want to test drive a car or just see Santa.

eastmidswarwicknightnanny · 30/11/2019 20:28

Link to Audi Santa wonderlab - prev poster shared so no credit here we just went and enjoyed and has helped us decide about a new car if we can do some haggling!!

@lifelongfrugaleer I know it's not the exact one you were looking for, and you probably got it sorted pages ago, but this mask just popped up on my feed.

Yeknom · 30/11/2019 20:46

@noodledoodler I ordered one too, still waiting on delivery though x

TakeMeToYourLiar · 30/11/2019 21:32

Thanks for simply be tip. Have ordered a jazzy Xmas dress too

DeanImpala67 · 30/11/2019 21:40

@eastmidswarwicknightnanny thanks for the Simply Be tip, I just got 2 pairs of jeans for £5, bargain!!

eastmidswarwicknightnanny · 30/11/2019 21:53

Glad simply be was useful to some.

Good spot @Dogmatix34

Barbararara · 30/11/2019 23:01

I’ve had my eye on these cut out dolls for ages for dd and dn. they’re expensive and you have to buy the dolls separately. 20% off at the moment. I’m a bit nostalgic for the back page of the Bunty but they’re a gift with good eco credentials and should keep dd quiet and busy while I doze after Christmas dinner.

Barbararara · 30/11/2019 23:19

@Rosie2000 I have this bath pillow which shows no sign of mould after 2 years, suctions firmly to the bath and I find the shape very comfortable. It’s not reduced but fairly reasonably priced.

Givealittlebit · 01/12/2019 00:13

Ooh I now want a bath pillow for myself!

I asked earlier about lovely classic Christmas cake decorations. Just bought some that I saw in John Lewis for quite a bit less at the Cake Craft Shop online. They are great quality (saw them in JL) and have a much wider range than I’ve seen in the shops. Also have some beautiful Christmas cake ribbons.
