Hi jumping on. Might go for a Scliech or two actually - my teen ds used to collect them and I think he'll like one (or three) in his stocking.

[TheDrsDocMartens]

Did anyone else get confused by this? 🤣

[PinkJam]

@Raindancer411 Thank you very much for the Sylvanian tip!

[CosmicVagina]

Morrisons have 4 for £5.00 on regular boxes of Heroes, Quality Street, Roses and Celebrations. All normally £3.00 each so a good bargain.

[CupoTeap]

Thanks for the new thread.

M&S hate me too, £5 off a £50 food shop, I went last night

[TheSeedsOfADream]

@ClaraLane, Puglia, so we were almost neighbours!

M&S make me cross...they are the only store (and after 27 years in Italy, I shop online A LOT) who a) make you have a separate account from your normal M&S account for stuff to be sent abroad b) so you can't use Sparks even if it's the same fecking pair of socks on the normal site! I can understand not all products available, everyone does that and that's fine. But it's my same bank account and it's my Sparks card with my Sparks offers! I emailed them humphily last year but they were just yeah but no but.

@Raindancer411 thanks for the JL sylvanian house tip! Asda are collecting the red roof empty house tomorrow and they wouldn't let me post my review online, I thought it was quite complimentary considering 😂
Had a mad panic to find another item for £5 to take me to free click and collect but I managed 😅

[JinglesWish]

M&S hate me more. I have zero special offers...despite spending £1800 on a dining table and chairs last year!!! Feel a bag of percys would just be polite 😆

[JinglesWish]

Any good craft cider bargains? Or amazing artisanal coffee bean company that’s new and delicious?

[trilbydoll]

@applepinkierainbow we got one that you don't look through, you link it to a phone by Bluetooth and look at the magnified picture on screen. It's quite good and easy to use but as dd doesn't have a phone she can't do it alone so she hasn't used it a huge amount.

[22Giraffes]

Has anyone used the site OnBuy before? They have a version of Uno I'm after for £2 instead of £7 everywhere else, and free delivery but seems to good to be true!

[Lockdownhairdontcare]

M&S £10 off £100 but just did a full food shop there on Monday .

Any ideas if they will do 20% off anytime soon?

[Lockdownhairdontcare]

@22Giraffes I used them for Disney cards against humanity, arrived in pristine condition within a week.

[UselessInDisguise]

I have brought one of these is smoky grey from the poundshop! Really pretty. The lights are lovely

[22Giraffes]

@Lockdownhairdontcare perfect just what I wanted to hear!

[theyips]

Thanks for the John Lewis Sylvanian tip - I got 2, one for DD and one for free delivery 🤷🏻‍♀️ I think my nephew would love it too so that’s his gift sorted also!

[Lockdownhairdontcare]

@22Giraffes DD now has bargain uno for her stocking too .

[dollypartonscoat]

8% topcashback on WHS too

[22Giraffes]

@Lockdownhairdontcare yay my kids love Uno so I have gone for the Flip and Dos versions I've never seen before, one each for their stockings.

[dollypartonscoat]

And 8.1% on OnBuy!
