@NoWordForFluffy I also like the b&m and home bargains opposite Sainsbury's on Jennifer Avenue. Both big stores with lots of choice :) not good for my bank balance though!

@lotusbell and @torthecatlady I’ve had to resist buying more socks as I’ve already got some from the sale, but I really like the look of the cabin socks.

@Fancyateapottea and @steph2412 I also really like The Sticker Site for personalised Christmas stickers - they are currently offering 25% off a personalised letter from Father Christmas with code LETTER2020 as well.

@CompleteBarstool I think it depends what your budget is (ie: if any compatible smart watch will do, or if you're looking for an Apple or similar!) - if more high end then yes, Black Friday might be the way forward. Or if you know anyone with student/ blue light discounts, you could have a look through those to see if there's anything helpful?

Theres a sale on at Molton Brown but it's quite hard to find. If you search for silver birch you then see a grey box above which says exclusive private sale. Theres quite alot in there, got a couple of pressies and a shower gel for myself. Also got offered free fragrance sample and free gift box at checkout.

Harkel clothing have 40% off, including sale with STAR40. I've not shopping with them before but the stuff looks lovely.

Anyone want a code for Lakeland or Argos?

All those wanting a playroom. We have one - we'd had it about 3 years when my daughter said 'is it called a playroom because were mean to play in it?' And that'll tell you how much the living room did not become a toy free zone

Free delivery on Victoria’s Secret tomorrow between 7-9pm, plus 20% off your order.

Does anyone know with the Cox and Cox referrals if you can use more than one referral with each order? I have one from here (thanks!) plus my Mum ordered something too, so I have £40 in two £20 credits.

Can I use the £40 in one transaction, or is it one code per transaction (which obviously makes postage unnecessarily expensive)?

Could I have the Lakeland voucher please @Aurorie11. My mother in law is buying a gorgeous nativity advent for my family and another fur her daughter’s family. I signed up to MyLakelabd a while ago but have t had anything through. I’ll PM you now.

In return, I can offer 30% off MoonPig download app, code XTG4ZW3W

40% off full price at Lands’ End HD6S and RH2T

@CompleteBarstool

Can anyone offer advice or point me in the right direction for smart watches please (must have GPS/be Strava compatible) .

Are there any sites you'd recommend (with bargainous prices or deals obviously )?
Am I best waiting for Black Friday?

Sorry I should have added a budget....up to £130ish.

It's for DS and he'd prefer a brand really rather than some of the cheaper, unknown ones that do exactly the same (typical teen!)

@Isadora2007 could you recheck the code please? Trying to check out on amnesty and it's not working

@myhobbyisouting sorry it’s for over £40 maybe that’s the issue? I have attached the screenshot of the offer here too.

Oh yes, thanks. That will be the problem! Never mind...but now I really want the order. Haha

Does anyone know the dimensions of the Aldi theatre? I can't find them and we were planning to make one of our own but I'm tempted

Can anyone help me with what those things are called that you use to write over your name and address or any other personal information please? I'm after one as a stocking filler for DH as he always rips up addresses into confetti so I stamper thing would be good for him. Thank you!

@PinkDaydreams
I just searched Security Roller Stamp on eBay and got loads .

@ScarlettDarling

Great thanks!

Perfect thank you! I was trying address confidential and obviously didn't come up with much!!

If I send a velvetiser as a gift to France, how easy is it to get the chocolate sachets there? I see amazon uk does not deliver them for example?

Does anyone have a good suggestion for a bath tray. I'm thinking of making a pamper box for me and my dcs for Christmas and would like to have a bath tray to add to it. Any other suggested additions welcome!

@CompleteBarstool not sure what sport your DS does, but I will say that there is a reason if you stand at the start line of a road race or cross country meet, the vast majority of runners will have Garmins. Their functionality is excellent, battery life is brilliant (I charge my forerunner 35 about every 7-10 days) and I’ve had really good customer service from them in the past too.

With a budget of £130 I’d recommend the forerunner 35 and you’ll save money. I have one as does teen DS. I am an intermittent runner so currently benefit more from the notifications functionality than anything else, but DS runs about 25-30k a week and so he benefits more from the sports side of things and we both love it.

It has definitely come down in price recently, and was a good deal on prime day last week at around the £80 I think. That’s a total bargain IMHO. Going by recent prices I’d happily pay £100-£110 for it

I had an email at just gone 12pm from IWOOT with a discount if 22% which drops by 1% each hour, so presumably is currently 21%. Code is DECLINE.
It doesn't seem to apply to anything I want so not sure what it works on but hopefully will be of help to somebody!
