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

I may have missed it, but Smiggle has an extra 40% off sale prices today. I just got a rucksack for £15 (plus a bloody fiver delivery).

[CoffeeAndEnnui]

Site of funky things Yes I Want It have some fab stuff in their sale section right now. Quirky embroidery hoops, selfie socks and festival-friendly body glitters are among the bargains but, given the fact we are likely to need to post tonnes of pressies this year, I really like the 90 Days in the '90s scratch-off poster. Extra 20% off sale stuff for those with student discounts too!

[woodwaj]

I agree the chat is nice but it has been a little ott recently. I do miss things scrolling past constant "missed buns!" Etc and others must be as there are a lot of repeat questions (and I can see why!) Wouldn't want to ban the chat obviously!

[lotusbell]

@Chocolateteabag, thanks for that but I cant get them.to stack unfortunately! I did place an order with the 20% off so any further orders would be for the sake of it really!

The Smiggle sale is great but it's poor they don't offer free delivery to store. I'm not paying £5 delivery for a load of toot!

Such a shame as there would have been a few things I would have picked up otherwise.

[Anydreamwilldo12]

Thanks for the new thread @Reastie. The thick willy scarves and I are delighted to have made the thread title😀
Questionnaire completed. I am happy with the mix of a little chat, bargains and referrals. Its just a lovely little place of Christmas happiness and the camaraderie is wonderful.

My children's fake oodies have arrived, only took a few days and they appear good quality, soft inside and quite heavy. Impressed for the cost

[ArthurChristmas2]

@puffalicious thanks for heads up. No, I haven’t had anything from Amazon either but I’ve checked and no money has left my account so perhaps that’s why?

[Chocoholicmumma]

@aimslou were they the £10/£11 ones?

[Rockhopper81]

@Lockdownhairdontcare (from the end of the last thread) - I bought Junior Colour Brain by Big Potato Games for £10. I would imagine all the Big Potato Games games are on it? I would recommend the brand in general to be honest. 😊

I've been on these threads from the start. Im still annoyed I didn't receive my WH Smith digital photo keyring and think of MN when the talking cookie jars arrive in Aldi. I can't keep up with them now though, it's too fast with the chat and I do lose some bargains in it all. I much preferred it years ago when there was way less chat. I don't want to sound bah humbug and know I have just chatted with no bargains to offer.

[Katinkak8]

Thank you to those people who recommended the argos play doh ice cream set and the jewel unique site. My earrings were delivered today and I have to say, for £6.25 per pair, they're surprisingly nice.
If any of you have PJ Mask lovers like I do, Argos has a large plush Owlette toy in the clearance for £8.99. She's nearly £17 on amazon so I think it's a good price, but as always, the clearance stuff isn't available everywhere.

There are some good offers for Tesco clubcard holders atm- eg chocolate oranges for 75p!
Sorry for repeat, I asked at the end of the last thread, just wondered if anyone knows if those outdoor lights are still £7.99 from £39.99? Can’t get the codes to stack :(

[Backatsquareone]

My 1st Years - 20% off when you spend £35 and 25% off when you spend £75. Codes are SAVE20 or SAVE25

[SweetPeaPods]

Reminder from the last thread- John Lewis promotion on Lego ends 30th Sept.

[Connellschain]

Please keep things just the way they are - truly love the chatty, puppety, cinnamon bunnie, oodie loveliness of it all

[recklessgran]

Also a reminder that the 30% off at Adidas ends tomorrow with code ADISALE

This! It's perfect as it is. Thank you @Reastie

[Puffalicious]

Exactly as PP have said, I love the chatty Christmas spirit here.

[Goldistheanswer]

Questionnaire completed Reastie and thanks for getting us all so organised. I wouldn’t want things to change.

[Anewcareer]

I have lurked and commented on this thread for years! Robert, highland hampers etc! And love things just the Way they are! I think things are moving a Bit quickly this Year because of it being a crappy year and we all want something fabulous to focus on!

[Gracesquirrel]

Thank you to whoever posted the 6TeeNine T shirt deal I got 3 Tshirts for the price of 2 and hadn't realised that it also qualfied for the £10 Prime Day credit so I got £32.85 worth of Tshirts for £21.90 delivered and then the £10 credit as well. Well chuffed with that!

@Reastie

Are you managing to keep up? Did I read that you have a lot on? I'm sure someone else will be happy to be on standby for a new thread if you're worrying about missing one

[passremarkable]

@Lockdownhairdontcare for the amazon prime discount I found these

@dementedma

For the flavory beer box at £29 there's 8% cash back on topcashback. I've put a referral link on referrals page in case its helpful.
Then in search box put the code AFFREC or GDFAUT3 to find the box
