@4Minions2CallMyOwn
Thank you. I topped up and the extra was showing on my balance when I just checked but I still haven't had a confirmation email. Can't beat an offer like that, especially as I'll spend more than that on toys for the DC!

Yeknom · 13/10/2020 19:34

I'm a 🐑! I've ordered a Robohoover, I am SO excited!

Lazysundayafternoons · 13/10/2020 19:39

Haha I asked my DP for a robovac for Christmas. He picked one up on offer last week but I'm not going to open it until Christmas. It's like hes bought me the gift of time 😂😂

Betsy86 · 13/10/2020 19:40

@InglouriousBasterd another thanks for the Claire’s code Flowers

hiredandsqueak · 13/10/2020 19:44

I love my robovac probably as much as the kids Grin On days like today when all I want to do is sit and shop setting it off with my phone and watching as it vacuums round me and the whole downstairs is very satisfying. I've got a system now and can have the whole of the downstairs ready to vacuum in five minutes and when they all come back later I can pretend I have been busy because the house looks like I have.

TheLastStarfighter · 13/10/2020 19:46

@Lockdownlumpy that’s what’s putting me off too. What I really need is a little robot that tidies up, then I can do the hoovering myself!

TheGriffle · 13/10/2020 19:56

I have also put the Claire’s code to good use, thank you! Some stocking fillers for my dd’s plus presents sorted for her 3 best friends and loads of hair bobbles as ours always vanish! £50 well spent!

1AngelicFruitCake · 13/10/2020 19:58

When you say topping up to £100, what do you mean?
Someone explained this earlier (thank you to them!) but don’t understand the topping up to £100?!?!

Shitfuckoh · 13/10/2020 20:10

@1AngelicFruitCake
It's basically adding £100 to your Amazon balance. So you 'top up' then future orders can be paid for using that balance

4Minions2CallMyOwn · 13/10/2020 20:11

@1AngelicFruitCake There’s a gift card option on Amazon which you can top up. But if you want to get the £10 additional credit you need to find the banner offering that and register your interest first. Hope that helps Smile

nightcap · 13/10/2020 20:13

Thanks to all for the hugely helpful suggestions, this thread is brilliant!

@Redwinestillfine @unkindnessofravens
@lifelongfrugaleer
@LetsPlayBamboozled those are all great ideas, I'm leaning towards the busy b one since it stands up by itself and the discount code is an extra bonus!

@lexloofah the changing the name from 'mummy' made me laugh Grin

mrsdavegrohl · 13/10/2020 20:13

In B&M today I picked up a gingerbread man cake mix box for £1.49. Its a nice box with a metal gingerbread man cutter tied to the front with a ribbon and will be perfect for 9yr old DD who likes cake kits. It was in the cake making section rather than the Christmas section

CottonHeadedNinnyMug · 13/10/2020 20:18

@NoWordForFluffy I might keep some back for the double up, but im making up some hampers as gifts, so I think alot of it wouldn't be in the double up...

SkintSanta · 13/10/2020 20:23

Oh bugger well I messed that one up!

recipe binder storage

spababe · 13/10/2020 20:23

@YourHandInMyHand I have that torch and it's amazing. Going to get a second one now - well spotted!

EdmundElephantIsACleverClogs · 13/10/2020 20:30

Thanks so much for the Claire's code InglouriousBasterd just got loads for my dn & dd Smile

shash1982 · 13/10/2020 20:31

Managed to get Dh gift sorted. A garmin watch in the prime deals with a huge saving!
Had to use his prime account though so think he'll notice! 😂
Oh well, it's the thought that counts!

I don't suppose anyone has a topshop discount code spare? Just a couple of bits from there then dd1 is finished.

ChristmasCantComeSoonEnough · 13/10/2020 20:33

Is anyone tempted by the 4.5kg toblerone! That would be an impressive wrapped present, not sure anyone would guess what it was despite the shape.

luckiestgirl · 13/10/2020 20:34

@shash1982 you can delete/hide your previous orders - I’ve had that problem before

VividImagination · 13/10/2020 20:34

Quite a nice Raspberry pi starter set here I had finished shopping for ds3 (14) before I bought the Echo dot yesterday but I’ve now added the Raspberry pi. Thankfully his much older brothers are understanding or I’d have to remortgage. Now to tell dh (or not)!

mushmellow · 13/10/2020 20:38

Quidco has 20% cashback on Hotel Chocolat only until 9pm though

Raindropsonrosesand · 13/10/2020 20:43

Thank you @Elskerdeg for the top up heads-up.

And thank you @LetsPlayBamboozled for the kids books. I had 2 of the story orchestra books in my basket, but couldn't quite justify them. A nice discount took away the guilt Grin And then another three books somehow found their way into my basket too Blush
