Has anyone seen the brownie version go down in price?

Damnit just missed the buns. I really want them

Why won't it let me check out with the buns!! 😩😩

With the £10 to spend on prime day how do we know what’s included in their small/medium businesses?

Stuck in waiting for DS's CV test results so took advantage and have online shopped like mad today! Have 18 packages arriving in the near future, hope they don't all come on the same day lol
I don't usually do much Christmas prep in October due to birthdays, holidays and Halloween so happy I am fairly organised now for picking back up again early November

Not much left to buy. Need to buy for baby DGD and main gift for DH. The rest just bits and bobs for the stockings and 1st Dec boxes.

@Annie1290

Why won't it let me check out with the buns!! 😩😩

I had this the other day, I think they sold out while I was trying to buy. Haven't managed to get any since!

@kerosene20, I have Lakeland codes valid from Thursday. Will that work for you?

Argh I missed the buns!

I want to send them to DD and her housemates at uni as a treat as they must be getting fed up of being stuck in the house doing online lectures most of the time.

@Lockdownhairdontcare @Tigger83 @applepinkierainbow
I can see the discounted Penhaligons stuff so doesn't look to be an employee thing. You have to just search through, there isn't an actual sale £5 Lotion - also 8% with topcashback too!

@kerosene20 I have a code for £5 off a £30 plus spend in Oct if that's is any use?

WELCOMEPEN gives £15 off selected items, not the discounted hand lotion but if you wanted other items too maybe, penhaligons

ooh more Penhaligons
Orange blossom perfume £29 from £110. The site is rubbish to navigate - but worth persevering with if you know what you want

Delurking to say thanks to the thread, I’ve pretty much done now and really need to step my.

My (very small) contribution is anyone who has a blue light card (I have applied for mine today), there are some amazing deals. 35% off Disneystore, 25% off at new look, 15% off river island are just a few I was looking at. Have to have the card to use it, I’ve had the app for ages but never needed the card but it’s £4.99 (have to upload either payslip or NHS ID card) but for a fiver it’s worth it

Oh and I got the buns which I have absolutely no reason to buy, I have never baked anything in my life but hopefully DS will be up for making them with me

Ivegotalovelybunchofcoconuts thank you for the Tokyo laundry offer link just ordered two sets. Fab offer

Ahh - but I can't actually add the discounted things to my bag so maybe there is a glitch there. grrr I really like their Orange Blossom perfume too

I ordered the buns from hobbycraft as I kept missing the amazon ones

No Tins included Though

Could anyone please recommend a baby boy doll - complete with a willy?

It's a present to dd from her soon-to-be-born (at Christmas) sibling and the only thing she's asked for.

Ideally something that has a few nice accessories with it. Or if you could recommend doll bottles etc that would be lovely. Thank you!

I didn’t buy the candles because I didn’t need them but it doesn’t stop me feeling quite grumpy at missing out.

@thelegohooverer

I didn’t buy the candles because I didn’t need them but it doesn’t stop me feeling quite grumpy at missing out.

Wax Lyrical advent calendar I posted a couple of hours ago now relisted at £29.99. Bargain price was £14.99 so, for anyone who missed out but wanted one, it might be worth popping in your basket and sitting on for a bit in case it drops again.

I decided at the time to not buy the candles and now I want the candles now that everyone is raving about them 😂

And I’m still annoyed I faffed about and didn’t order John Lewis Lego quicker!! The ones I want are out of stock for another 2 weeks and the deal ends tomorrow 😭

The Penhaligon site will not load for me, I just keep getting a 404 error, saved some money there I suppose.
I too am feeling pretty dar peeved I didn't order the lovely candles, the fact that I don't need them and have lots of unused lovely candles is neither here nor there.

@ewock my Ds has loved Pokemon for more years than I care to remember. But the pokeballs with little characters in and the satchel are a must.
He also spends hours looking at the Pokemon encyclopedias. There are a few different ones but they cost about a fiver I think (sometimes on offer through the scholastic company the schools use).

He also has a toy that is meant to guess the Pokemon by asking yes and no questions. It probably gets the answer wrong as often as it gets it right but he seems to find that hilarious . He has a few plush ones I have bought for about a fiver on amazon. He has wooly hats in Pokemon characters. He has a plush Pokemon pencil case.

These are all bits picked up cheaply as stocking fillers, probably off amazon and eBay.
