@Amazonmulu

Thank you *@Onelittlepiglet* - DD (4) has asked for more Lottie things and this may be a big saver for us!

DH has now asked for some Doc Marten boots that are £145 Does anyone happen to have a code for a discount on their site or an idea where I might be able to get these for slightly less? We are on a strict budget this year as times are not great :(

There's 20% off with blue light cards if you or anyone you know is eligible? Last year I put black Dr Martens into Google shopping and bought the cheapest style I could find for DH for £120 as he wasn't overly bothered about the styles

@Amazonmulu Schuh do 20% off for students I'm just filling in the form now and will pm you the code when I get it

@Dolphintrainer here you go:

@Amazonmulu I got DH a pair last year from Offcuts for about 1/3 of the price. Worth a look maybe offcutsshoes.co.uk/

I dont know if anyone is looking for puppet theatres and i dont know if these are a bargain but saw these on the works website (hope the pictures attach!)

@Dolphintrainer

I ordered these ones but they're not coming til Thursday

www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07TJHL525?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

Ordered a set of lights and extension. Tried to add an extra string of lights which just reduced the second set to half price, unfortunately didn't take the 30% off both

[quote Octoberfish]This seems like a fun gift - and qualifies for the £10 back on Prime Day.

Thank you! My almost 6 year old has been asking for a pogo stick but I've been concerned her 2.5 year old brother would hurt himself trying to copy her. This seems like a great middle ground that'll suit them both.

@Amazonmulu the Dr martens website has 20% discount for Freshers week. I'm sure someone on this thread could get you a Unidays code? From personal experience that's the best deal you'll get unless you shop in the January sales.

I was in primark today & they had Reed defusers by the till for £1. I got one for the lounge and it’s absolutely lovely. Maybe good for stocking fillers for teens? They had some Xmas ones out which were £1.50. Wish I had got some more.

Does anyone have a student code I could use for some ridiculously expensive Air Force ones???
Missed the eBay 20% off - kicking myself!

Thank you for the hermione doll!!!

Had the pasta tonight. Our verdict- meh! Would have been very unimpressed if I’d paid full price but definitely worth it for £4. Portions were very small and there was hardly any bacon!

Very easy to cancel subscription though

Those candles. What a bargain. Also was not expecting them to be so big, even after reading all the comments.

Has anyone seen any offers on the velvetiser?

@WisestIsShe that's great advice - many thanks!

Thank you to @JinglesWish and @DumplingsAndStew for the gift tag links 💐

Colorland A4 photo calendars are on Wowcher now. They're way superior to the Printerpix ones, which were dire!

Prices range from £4.99 for one, up to £17.99 for six, with 2 and 4 in between.

@KokoLoko thank you will have a look 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@its2019ffs yes please thanks so much - just need to work out how to find pms 🙈

Vtech Dash the T-Rex is reduced to £39.99 in Smyths. Mine still play with this and we've had it a few years, it's good fun!

Dash the T-Rex at Smyths

Haha no problem @Amazonmulu you'll need to go on the desktop website which you can access via safari or google and it's in the top right hand corner you'll see a button and from there you can see your inbox

@IceCreamAndCandyfloss there was a code for £15 off the velvetiser on the hotel chocolat homepage a few weeks ago. Not sure if it’s still working
