@mummyof2boys30 amazon has the Pringle advent calendar

@Jedstre bought this chair last year for ds as he had his cousins lower rocker style one but his neck used to be sore as tv up on shelf. Found this good quality and still going strong a year later. Delivery is probably cheaper for you as I'm not in UK.

Thanks to whoever pointed out the Anthropologie sale. I bought two of the £8 (down from £30) pouches which are gorgeous. Unfortunately one they sent was the wrong letter entirely packaged in the bag that was what I ordered but the immediately refunded the cost and postage when I messaged on Facebook plus let me keep it! I’ll be passing it on free to anyone locally who has that initial!

lotusbell if you still have it, could I please have the 60 pound spend?
I’m going to order Dd a heated throw. Can’t do it until later though so would appreciate a pm.
No problem if it’s gone. Thanks.

@mummyof2boys30

Has anyone seen the pringle advent calander this year. Got them in B and M last year but no joy in my local store
I've seen them in both our B&M shoos - they apparently get their big deliveries on a Thursday so might be worth phoning your local one.
Jedstre · 17/10/2020 18:05

Thanks @ShoppingBasket I’ll look at that style too and thanks for heads up for waiting for Black Friday @makingmiracles. Did you buy direct from x rocker?

14yearsandcounting · 17/10/2020 18:16

Can’t remember who was looking for an alternative to a tree but cox&cox have this beauty www.coxandcox.co.uk/lit-tree-wall-art-new/ and there’s a referral code for £20 off a £25 spend coxandcox.mention-me.com/m/ol/tx4wf-e3da69155a

mcgonagalscat · 17/10/2020 18:17

@TildaTurnip that was me- they're so lovely aren't they!?

Crackery · 17/10/2020 19:29

Are there any debenhams codes around just now- a cheeky wee 10% off?!

Brashopper · 17/10/2020 19:33

@cymrumam , thank you for the link to the Superdrug 49p sale

Unfortunately I was too late. It let me put lots of 49p things in my basket, but when I came to check out told me that each one was unavailable.

TildaTurnip · 17/10/2020 19:34

[quote mcgonagalscat]@TildaTurnip that was me- they're so lovely aren't they!?[/quote]
Thank you! Yes really beautiful and I’m impressed how quickly they refunded their mistake too!

WisestIsShe · 17/10/2020 19:35

If anyone sees a bargain Yankee Candle advent calendar anywhere please let me know. I always get one for my best friend. Yankee bundles don't have any at the moment. Thanks.

14yearsandcounting · 17/10/2020 20:02

Salmonpinkcords · 17/10/2020 20:11

Thanks all for the Boden code - I saved £28.50 on 2 pairs of girls boots.

UselessInDisguise · 17/10/2020 20:23

Thanks for all the help with the gin club. I just signed up 😁 If I'm staying home this Christmas and my babies are growing up, I'm bloody well having a drink.

sorryiasked · 17/10/2020 20:24

@14yearsandcounting please use the referrals thread for all your links. Otherwise everyone starts doing it and the bargain thread gets filled with them

CupoTeap · 17/10/2020 20:24

@Mumto3thatsme

Any recommendations from where to buy gamers clothing? DS is after Xbox specific tops/joggers
There was a couple of Xbox bits in primark
mrsdavegrohl · 17/10/2020 20:42

Thanks to the posters that mentioned the vodka dela and Roblox albums, I have ordered both. And both were actually on my list!

I'm also after a gaming chair so will watch that chat with interest

Pandora charms, do any good deals ever come up for these? Eldest has asked for one this year and its £45! Within budget for her gift but seems an awful lot for not very much

gavisconismyfriend · 17/10/2020 20:49

paperchase advent calendar arrived today. Not convinced contents are worth the money, but it is big, glossy and exciting looking so will please a stationery loving tween. Contents v pastel in colour. Anyway, came with a 20% off flyer which I assume is multi-use BBOCT20LT

YourHandInMyHand · 17/10/2020 20:56

@CamdenLurker B&M have matching sacks and stockings, I got one of each for each member of my household. I posted about 3 or 4 threads back so will add picture again. They're really lovely.

I'm glad I bought when I did as they seem to be flying off the shelves!

nicky2512 · 17/10/2020 21:07

mrsdavegrohl Pandora do three for two on occasion but I don’t know if it will happen again before Christmas. I got some during the summer.
Other than that I think they are more likely to do a free gift when you spend a certain amount.
Someone else may well know better. There may be something I have missed!

TheRosariojewels · 17/10/2020 21:19

I've just posted £10 off £40 at Coombe Farm organic on the referrals thread if anyone wants to stock up on some nice meat!
