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

Like this
[[www.amazingbargains.com bargain ]] but with no space after/before the brackets.

Finally got those flaming buns!

With the Amazon small business thing...theres a Jacques item I fancy but when I click on it despite going through their promo thingy for the offer to their store front and it being listed there, the item doesn't have the advert thing at the bottom for the 10 pound credit like their and others other items do. Surely it should be included? But not having this at the bottom is making me hesitate to order. Did anyone else have this or not with their purchase and still got their credit? Thanks!

Woohoooo got the buns! Thanks guys

Instead of place marking by adding a comment, add the thread to my Watch list, then also use the "bookmark" feature. It appears on each post, so just click "bookmark" the last post you've read, then when you go back to the thread, it'll automatically take you to your last read post.

If anyone has the Co-op app, apparently there is an offer for a free bar 100g bar of chocolate today on it. Might be good for a stocking filler (note, I don't have the app myself nor a Co-op nearby - I've just seen it on FB)

It's so good to be back! I'm joining the party late this year but am getting in the spirit now and I'm ready to roll.

Just picked up the buns so thanks for that.

I've also just ordered two of these from Wowcher...

Beer 25 Christmas gift pack for £13.99 plus p&p

I had that with a Jacques puzzle @ClockSpanner. So annoying. I am assuming it isnt part of the £10 prime deal.

What is part of the deal are these two wood puzzles which are great for my difficult to buy for DH and DDad. Both on Lightning deals atm as well
Tractor wood 3d puzzle

Rugby Ball 3d

Got the buns, finished the brownies only yesterday! Didn't even want the buns until I couldn't get them!!

Yessss two more lots of buns - that’s my SIL finished and one of my friends started!

I want the buns just because every time I click on them it tries to make me pay £10.99!

@mogtheexcellent thank you, how annoying some things seem to be included and some are not! Though I'm sure I can find something else

Another plus to the Wowcher Beer 52 Christmas set is it also comes with some snacks and a glass plus a massive bonus in my eyes is that they don't email you the voucher to redeem it until the 27th November so it won't be hanging around the house for the next few months 🥳

Long time lurker - love these threads, it's my happy place on here. So far have bought THE candle (amazingly good value) and an Oodie (for a birthday present) which was so successful I've had to buy another for Christmas. I was sceptical they were worth the money but so far have had to peel it off 13 YO DS and 15 YO DD is keen to get one too.

It's a huge ask but I need to buy a v expensive pair of Dr Martens and an Office student code would give me 20% off if anyone would be kind enough to send me one - I would be eternally grateful (I have PM'd people in the past with Boden £10 vouchers just in case anyone thinks I am taking the proverbial by asking! )

Got the chocolate!

Has anyone bought an oodie, a sort of oversized blanket hoodie? Or have you bought a similar item? I know my kids would love them but not sure if they are worth the money?

@Noheadlockshere I can DM but here is a code for you! Please no one else take it

Just a note that the Wowcher beer 52 deal seems really expensive (you have to pay £5.99 p&p too) when you can get 8 beers with the snack and magazine but not the glass for only £5.99 from them here...

Gives you a £14 saving for the same thing minus a glass (which would be less than £14!)

@Shitfuckoh me too!

@Restlessinthenorth - thank you but rats! Someone I think got there first.... any chance of a DM when you have a moment please? [flowers}

Sorry no bargains- but I wondered if anybody else has received a note from Royal Mail to say they can’t deliver item as there is a fee to pay- £1.50! The only thing I think I’ve ordered and haven’t received is Uno Flip, so wondered if anyone else received this notice!

@Reastie oh sorry!!! Re questionnaire- that’ll teach me for trying to be a keen bean!
I basically said love the thread. Maybe less placemarking and a lesson on how to bookmark and follow thread at top again.... it took me years to figure out how to
Do that!

Why, why, why can’t I get the buns? Every time I log in, Amazon try to charge me £10.99 😡

Scam doing the rounds

The White Company have up to 50% off on various bits.

@Restlessinthenorth - thank you again, and thank you also @Serenity25 - I'm all set now, so appreciated

TK Maxx have the LOL Bubbly surprise in the orange case for £19.99.
