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

If there is a Vodafone coffee code going spare I’d be most grateful!

Fuckingfuckssake · 23/10/2020 10:45

I've got a 10% off code for the Clarks Outlet site if anyone would like it.

Has anyone had trouble with OnBuy? I ordered from them, it says dispatched but no signs of my 19 October delivery. It’s for my daughters birthday on Monday and expensive. No phone number. No response to emails. Very worried.

PocoyoandEllie · 23/10/2020 11:00

@margaritasbythesea I have just gone to my works in search of wheres the wookie and no joy Sad guttes as my DS has one of these books and loves it we read it every night! Can’t see it online either!

JoanneCofton · 23/10/2020 11:03

Has anyone had a cancellation from QVC for the velvetiser? I’ve been patiently waiting for it since I ordered last week, had the letter from them to say it was coming direct from the supplier then today I’ve had the payment reversed back into my account. My order still says in progress but I think it’s been cancelled 😭

4Minions2CallMyOwn · 23/10/2020 11:04

Does anyone please have an Adidas code that I can use for 35% discount? DD would like some new trainers for her birthday and she’s seen some she’d like on the site. I’d be very grateful as with the discount they’d be a great price! Thank you

Can you not just send it back to Amazon shipperssss?

I've received everything now from OnBuy ArthurChristmas2 although was slightly worried about 1 item which took a lot longer than the others. It did arrive in the end though. Have you tried messaging the seller?

XiCi · 23/10/2020 11:08

Sorry arthur just seen you have no reply from emails. I was going to order something else from them but this has put me off a bit!

Carrie76 · 23/10/2020 11:11

My kids always get a box set of books from Santa has anyone used lowplex books before? I used to always order from the book people ☹️

TheWildWoods · 23/10/2020 11:12

Sorry only managed to get this picture as the toddler did a runner but they had this on home bargains, they also had a couple of hampers in different sizes and a selection of tissue paper.

They also had a few initial stockings in if anyone needs any?

margaritasbythesea · 23/10/2020 11:14

PocoyoandEllie I'm sorry you had a wasted trip. It does seem to oos online. I'd go and get you one but all no -essential shops are clising in Wales at 6pm for 2 weeks and I can't get there before.

Here's a screenshot of the same one at amazon. A bit more expensive but at least you can have a closer look. Might be cheaper at World of Books?

Unfortunately I'm over the return period! I got everything out to look at last night and really think I've a. Gone overboard and b. Don't think they will use it to it's potential Sad

Just a heads up on the Cox and Cox referral codes... I have been backwards and forwards between their customer service team and Mention Me (who apparently run their rewards).

I referred 3 friends (and two Mumsnetters - thanks!) and ended up with 5 referral codes. BUT they only allow you to use one per order (it doesn't say this at any point during the sign up process).

This means a) you can't save them towards something "big" and b) postage is expensive PLUS massively environmentally unfriendly if I have to submit 5 small orders instead of one big one.

Just a heads-up, as I said, as I feel a bit hard-done by!

I wouldn’t worry too much, last week I bought some gods, the payment was pending then all of a sudden I had an extra £100 in my account so used it for shopping. An hour later I was £100 overdrawn the ghd payment pending disappeared then actually came out a bit later.
NoWordForFluffy · 23/10/2020 11:24

@Carrie76, yes, I've used Lowplex with no issues.

Justyou · 23/10/2020 11:25

Ghds!!! I did not purchase any gods Confused

Whitewhite · 23/10/2020 11:27

Would anyone be kind enough to share a unidays code for JD?

Thanks in advance.

Martinisarebetterdirty · 23/10/2020 11:28

@JoanneCofton I posted about this same worry earlier this morning - pleased to say it turned up about 10 minutes ago (still not showing on my bank account though) Smile

JoanneCofton · 23/10/2020 11:30

@Martinisarebetterdirty ooo thank you, fingers crossed it comes then! Thank you

Have just spoken to them on live chat and they easily agreed a refund, I honestly didn't think they would! Thankyou.
Carrie76 · 23/10/2020 11:35

@NoWordForFluffy great thanks I’ll place an order so
