Thread 9 - the one with the thick willy scarf

[Reastie]

Thanks @Anydreamwilldo12 for thread title

please read the thread is moving so fast atm and it’s pretty hard to keep up! I was just wondering on people’s thoughts on this so did a super quick questionnaire here . I’m not sure we’ll find a perfect answer to suit everyone but would love your feedback on if it’s an issue or not.

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

Here’s Barbarara’s instructions from last year on doing clicky links:

Open double square brackets
No space
Paste link
Space
Name of link
No space
Close double square brackets

Like this
[[www.amazingbargains.com bargain ]] but with no space after/before the brackets.
If I do it again without the extra spaces only the word bargain will appear in blue

@Imsayingnothing

Wonder if anyone has used the site werchristmas before. I thought seeing as we probably won't be going to any visit santa, church services, lights switch ons etc this year we could maybe get some decorations for inside our house. Maybe a Nativity set and some lights for the windows. Not sure if their items are good quality or not.

Also if anyone can recommend a bargainous nativity set I'd be really grateful.

Yes, I ordered from them last year and would happily recommend.

@IggyAce

I’ve got a referral code for The Spicery I’m happy to inbox it to anyone that wants it.

Yes please!!

Thanks for the heads up about the Spicery sale, I’ve been waiting for it. After a recommendation on here last year I got dh the curry legend kit, it came in a beautiful tin and hands down the best present ever. I’ve brought him the taco legend set for this Christmas.

I'd love a referral code for the spicery if it'll stack with the 10% code!

Please may I also have the spicery code? Thank you

I'd love a spicery referral code if it is okay. Saw this in my local Home Sense today I remember people saying about Sylvannian Families

I'd love any codes/ discounts for the spicery please.

Thanks to the poster who mentioned the LOL Clubhouse. Should I buy now for £55 or do we think that is the lowest it will go?

DS has a Xmas day birthday and every year I am stumped about what to get him! All he has asked for so far is some Harry Potter lego. Otherwise he is giving me no clues! He has a Xbox so maybe some new games. I don't want to give him a phone just yet (holding off until secondary school). Would welcome any ideas! He loves climbing but he doesn't need anything for that that I can think of. He hasn't touched the drone he got last Christmas! :(

Thanks for the Spicery deal 😊. I’ve popped my referral code in the Referrals thread if anyone needs one.

@whoknows1230 could you possibly link me to where it says about calling up to cancel please?

I have seen Beer 52 advertised as a subscription club before but when checking the fine print of the Wowcher deal, it read to me like it was a one off purchase. I can cancel the voucher now if I got it wrong which I'd rather do as I've ordered 2 as gifts and I'm likely to forget to cancel at a later point 😬!

I clicked on @lifelongfrugaleer’S link and used @NoWordForFluffy’S code. Does that make sense? It may be even cheaper with a referral 🤷‍♀️.

Sorry for the slow response - I’ve been busy with ironing and stuffing nappies

Did anyone receive the HP music box on amazon? Mine said delivery 1-4 October, but now says it was delivered a week ago (it wasn't).

Amazon have just sent me an email to say that the seller is no longer on marketplace...

Does anyone know of any beer 52 type deals but for cider? Unfortunately most of the drinkers im buying for aren't huge beer lovers

New sale items at Neon Sheep

Not as bargainous as before, but still some nice things on there. Lots of baby stuff too.

Neon Sheep

I have now registered for The Spicery and anyone who is looking for a referral code should be able to find mine on the referral thread.

Sorry to be a bore about the Spicery but the price I got earlier is also as it is Legend’s month.

You get a free calendar and 15% off any cookbook kit.
25% off two and 35% off three or more.

Thanks to @lifelongfrugaleer and @NoWordForFluffy. My DH will be very happy and my fussy BiL may be pleased too

@WoahBodyforrrm, it was on the Beer 52 website itself here www.beer52.com/faq (in the last section). However, I was looking in relation to the offer that @Elskerdeg found on the Beer 52 website itself, not that Wowcher deal.

I wonder if the Wowcher deal was more expensive then the deal on the Beer 52 website as it’s a one-off, rather than signing up to get subscription package.

@greyinganddecaying I received that message too. Also says music box was delivered on 22nd and it definitely wasn't

@ClaraLane thanks will try to remember around that time to have a look.

Sounds like a huge scam 🙁

@greyinganddecaying I've just been on amazon chat and they've said according to their systems the item is still on track to be delivered by the 16th of October but if it does not come by the 20th to get back in touch and they'll refund

Just bit the bullet and ordered the real oodies. If you order 6 (club with friends like other PP have done) with the code below you'll get each one for £36 which is bargainous. The cheapest deal for a single one is £49.

Oodie code to get 6 oodies for £36 each is BLACKFRIDAY-MEGA-FAMPACK. Not being delivered until 8th December

I’ve added my referral code for the Spicery to the referral thread.
