Hope you don’t mind the title @IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts !

please post any bargain info IN BOLD to make it easier to scroll through the thread.

To make things bold you:
Put a star each side of what you want to make bold like this but without the space between the star and the writing *

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 Thanks

@Lockdownlumpy and @Wtfdidwedo - did you get the voucher to work on the driving experience? I'm just getting a "no further discounts available on this amazing price" message instead of a discount code box.

It didn't in the end! I put it in the box and went through to pay, then went to discuss with my husband whether he definitely thought it would be suitable for DSD, taking into account the boomerang Welsh lockdown restrictions of course! Then when I went back to my phone it had cancelled it!

Iwoot are wrecking my head. I suspect that a good proportion of their customer service team might be bots judging by their nonsense responses.
I ordered the Lego Mario starter set and tshirt bundle but only received the T-shirt. They eventually agreed to send on the Lego but there’s still no sign of it and I need it for ds birthday. Other relatives have bought him the extension sets but I don’t think any of it will work without the starter set and it’s already a pretty disappointing birthday so I don’t want to let him down. I’m going to have to order another set just in case, I think. But I could do without having to stump up €50 right now. It’s been a bargainous but spendy month and I’ll be doing online shopping orders during lockdown for my dm who pays me in cash as she doesn’t believe in credit cards. I have cash but nowhere to spend it.

IggyAce · 21/10/2020 15:14

I popped in Claire’s and my order was there. I just think it’s poor CS not to notify you when it’s ready for collection especially since people don’t want to make wasted journeys.

Dibor are offering free delivery no minimum spend

Elpheba · 21/10/2020 15:15

Boden code hopefully attached if anyone wants it £10 off a £30 spend. Expired 24/10

I had a letter fromQVC to say the velvetiser is being dispatched straight from hotel Chocolat so that's why we're not getting notifications via email

FireflyGirl · 21/10/2020 15:22

Avon are doing a Spa relaxation kit, £10 for £24 of products.

I ordered two, as teacher gifts, and they are all full sized products. You could even split it. The products don't come in a box or anything, but you can easily pop them in a box or gift bag.

Delivery is £3 or free over £20.

I have also had an email with a voucher code for 20% off, minimum spend £10, which would make the set £8 plus delivery, although I think this is a one off code. It expires tomorrow, and I won't use it, so if anyone would like it DM me.

I also have a Boden £10 off £30 spend if anyone can use it. Again, DM me.

First come, first served as usual on the vouchers. I'll check my DMs after the school run.

My Name Necklace: 20% off with the code CLEAR20

I’ve bought some gorgeous jewellery from here, name necklaces for DD’s and a bracelet for DH. Also necklace for myself. Only got 10% off then though but definitely highly recommend

margaritasbythesea · 21/10/2020 15:25

This is a longshot, but can anyone recommend a 10" tablet with a decent memory for under £100? In the past I have been watching models I am interested in for months but this year I didn't think I would need one. Now mine has gone Kaput.

4Minions2CallMyOwn · 21/10/2020 15:27

Build a Bear free delivery with purchases £35+ with code FREEDELIVERY They also have a sale on

whoknows1230 · 21/10/2020 15:29

@TheCrow, the vouchers don't state the price but if the recipient goes online to change it for another experience/deal or extend it, it tells them the value

recklessgran · 21/10/2020 15:37

One of my Tu clothing orders came already. So annoyed with myself - beautiful Christmas tree jumper I ordered in a size 14 is ENORMOUS. A 10 would have done the job. Sold out online - what are my chances in store do you think?

I only saw one Christmas jumper in my local store today and that was the London scene jumper, they didn’t have any other Christmas stuff in yet. I’ve been trying to get a pair of dungarees but hey only has size 16 and 18 left, always struggle to get size 10 or 12 in store ☹️.

Does anyone have any Argos codes left, please. I was sent an email from Argos that I get one via post but our Royal Mail is so slow unfortunately.

Emma10702 · 21/10/2020 16:08

Thanks will pm you.

TheCrow · 21/10/2020 16:15

@whoknows1230 thank you, I've gone ahead and ordered a two course meal at a pan-asian restaurant for them as it sounds right up their alley- was £10! The restaurant is in a hotel and is currently closed due to covid, sent them a message and they said closed until further notice but they have 20 months to use it and couldn't resist at that price. Can always change it if needed.

I have a 20% off at Matalan online code which came on the back of a brochure, valid until 4th Nov. Don't think it's account specific if anyone wants it?

Chocoholicmumma · 21/10/2020 16:37

@solarscope if you pm me I have one.
Yes please @TheCrow 🙂

NaturalBlondeYeahRight · 21/10/2020 17:14

I do love this thread but I do buy myself far to many things! Just got the wine (which is generic I think and I found it when I went to their website) and my cheapish smart plugs have arrived. Still got so much shopping to do!

I've had absolutely shocking customer service from IWOOT too with the Christmas jumpers, definitely one to avoid.
myhobbyisouting · 21/10/2020 17:20

@Fuckingfuckssake I got a refund on the jumpers and don't have to return them. Replies took around 24 hours each time

Emma10702 · 21/10/2020 17:24

Somerset toiletry company have got some nice bits on offer at the moment. Make for good gifts.
