Thanks @allatonce99 for thread title

Just a reminder you can watch the thread by clicking on ‘watch this thread’ at the top of the first message. It’s much easier for everyone than so many place marking every time which can use up a fair chunk of each thread to scroll through Thanks

My buns also arrived. Lovely big solid box. Waiting for more...

JinglesWish · 25/09/2020 17:18

@Maddie2802 depends on the age and style of your PILs. My mum probably would have liked those, but my MIL is more modern. Great bargain

JinglesWish · 25/09/2020 17:19

I’ve checked the buns on amazon about 30 times today!!

Please could someone paste the actual link you used? I wonder if I’m looking at the wrong listing

My jewel unique earrings have arrived already and they are really lovely. Thanks so much to whoever posted.

Dogmatix34 · 25/09/2020 17:26

This looks like quite a good offer

Just went to do another jewel unique order with code SILVER75 and was expecting to get the same free gift (Which was fine as the earrings are so nice I was planning to keep them so could have gifted another set but I was offered a different set of free earrings when I bought a necklace. Result!

Junobug · 25/09/2020 17:46

The GIN10 code or the pasta isn't working for me. Has it expired? Probably for the best if it has. I'm meant to be low caring but I just got swayed by free gin.

LostMyRubySlippers · 25/09/2020 17:50

You can also use FIRST10 on the pasta but you don’t get the free gin that way obvs, just £10 off your first order....

WhereIsThisGoing · 25/09/2020 17:51

Ebay has a 20% off offer for a variety of stores - worth a look: 20%

valid till 28 September

LostMyRubySlippers · 25/09/2020 17:54

It looks as though the GIN10 code has expired. I tried it earlier & it worked but when I went back on now it doesn’t. The prices have also gone up & the postage is no longer free!?! I don’t actually need it anyway!!

Do they come nicely packaged? I was thinking maybe to give as a gift? Thanks

@mummymilkfloat that’s an excellent plan Grin

JinglesWish · 25/09/2020 18:10

I can confirm that the clementine gin far too nice and extremely suppable, I say that as someone who doesn’t drink much but like the odd tot.
Tesco have the huge( 300g?) bars of dairy milk chocolate for £2.40. I buy milk chocolate for baking so stocked up as this is cheaper than cooking chocolate and much nicer.

Lockdownhairdontcare · 25/09/2020 18:21

Can’t remember who asked yesterday but my local M&S (Ayrshire) had chocolate sprouts, coins etc in today and 3for2. Lots of gin too!

Emma1962 · 25/09/2020 18:27

Little live pets on offer on Argos and amazon. My 6yo has asked for the fish which I’ve just got for £18.75 down from £24.99. Lots of other animals available.

Nightswimmin · 25/09/2020 18:28

Just popping on to say buns are back down in price again

JinglesWish · 25/09/2020 18:32

@Nightswimmin I got the buns!! Thank you 😊

wibdib · 25/09/2020 18:34

Qwertees t shirts had an advert on my Facebook page to say limited time offer - all T-shirt’s £6 each and if you buy 6 you get free delivery and a free face mask.

I had a look on the site to see how limited the time - gave a countdown of 24 hours from when I clicked. But when I then looked at individual T-shirt’s they had a countdown of less than 4 hours so who knows!

I haven’t used them myself but know about them because lots of people have recommended on these threads over the years...

WaitingForEgg · 25/09/2020 18:46

I missed the buns again!! 😭😭😭
