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

Here’s Barbarara’s instructions from last year on doing clicky links:

Open double square brackets

Name of link
No space
Close double square brackets

Like this
[[www.amazingbargains.com bargain ]] but with no space after/before the brackets.
If I do it again without the extra spaces only the word bargain will appear in blue

Thanks so much @margaritasbythesea I will order the amazon ones, I did google search and it weirdly didn’t bring them up x

If anyone wants a Vodafone code I can PM you mine as I won’t be using it.

tabbycat985 · 23/10/2020 12:00

@Lemming20 There doesn't seem to be a code, just a link to the website (maybe a hidden page?) so hopefully this works for you!

DS (8) is looking for Heelys anyone seen any bargains for them? Also how’s the fit on them, do I buy his regular shoe size?

pasinphoebe · 23/10/2020 12:11

@Carrie76 tkmaxx have box sets every year, I often use them. Online and instore. Of course their selection varies.

Justyou · 23/10/2020 12:27

Those who got the M&S gin when it was on offer- I can’t find it on the website at all anymore, is everyone confident that we’ll get it?

GazingAndGrazing · 23/10/2020 12:27

@Fancyateapottea

I’ve got my velvetiser now, hopefully you’ll get yours soon martinis.

I’ve just got my next box of hot chocolate sachets for £5.95 delivered! I got a 50% off code when I registered my velvetiser, I put it through as a subscription to get free delivery and then used the code PARTNER15 to get another 15% off.

I’m struggling to register mine. I copied the info on the card but it takes me to a completely different part of the website.

I got Heeleys from Sports direct last year, just their own I think. It’s the 2nd pair we’ve had and they are fab. We went for a size up & I think they were around £30 ish.
spagbog5 · 23/10/2020 12:30

I also have a Vodafone coffee code I won't use if anyone needs one .

thebrightestcoloursfillmyhead · 23/10/2020 12:38

@Justyou keeping my fingers crossed on the gin. Surely they'd have told us by now if they weren't going to fulfil our bargain orders 🤞🏼

Anydreamwilldo12 · 23/10/2020 12:42

A lovely gift and helping a very good cause too. Puppy in a tin sewing set from the guide dog shop, make your own little puppy dog. £12.

I was going to give the M&S Gin as a Christmas present but am wondering if it should be given early so they can enjoy it as a Christmas decoration too.

Fridgeandkitchen · 23/10/2020 12:50

@JoanneCofton

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 😭
Phone QVC. I find them extremely open and helpful.
Fancyateapottea · 23/10/2020 12:54

@GazingAndGrazing
I just typed www.hotelchocolat.com/warranty into the web address bar and it went straight to the right page. Not sure why that isn’t happening for you.

NerosFiddle · 23/10/2020 13:14

Anyone with o2 priority they have deal 4 cocktails for £6. I think delivery is on top but nit a bad deal.

Junobug · 23/10/2020 13:21

@IggyAce I didn't get that email but I'm really pleased to hear it as it did make me feel a bit sad when they arrived.

lexloofah · 23/10/2020 13:33

@Carrie76

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 ☹️
Yes used recently for DDs birthday, the best priced box set by far, paying and delivery all very smooth
Emma10702 · 23/10/2020 13:52

Yes plse to a coffee code x

sorryiasked · 23/10/2020 13:55

@Justyou it's still on the website here at full price. My delivery date is 6th Nov I think.

Mines said delivery around 5th November so I wasn't really worrying about until then. Hopefully it does turn up!
MsMiaWallace · 23/10/2020 13:59

Does anyone have a Matalan discount going spare?

Lemming20 · 23/10/2020 14:02

@tabbycat985 thank you that’s perfect!! Smile

Inastatus · 23/10/2020 14:11

@Justyou - I’ve just checked my M&S account and my gin order is still there for delivery 5 Nov so I’m hopeful.

GirlWithTheYellowHat · 23/10/2020 14:19

princessbear80 · 23/10/2020 14:26
