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

Close double square brackets

Like this
[[www.amazingbargains.com bargain ]] but with no space after/before the brackets.

For some reason that smartplug deal never works for me 🤔 we definitely don't have one. Wierd!
Not working for me eitherConfused

Does anyone know if Chilly's ever do discount codes for their water bottles? My DD would love one of the personalised ones, but they're so expensive! Thanks.

buckeejit · 20/10/2020 14:26

@gaggiagirl We've had great fun with the August ones - check reviews on amazon but usually found cheaper on eBay. I've bought a couple of pairs of refurbished ones

pasinphoebe · 20/10/2020 14:48

@sunnyday1976 I’m not sure if you want non personalised but they are very often in tkmaxx. I had two about ten days ago online.

BeaLola · 20/10/2020 14:53

I ordered the vodka too on Friday - had a very lovely email to say they've run out (wonder why !) and will be sending me next week . Only problem is I was going to give to a friend as a birthday gift at weekend - back to drawing board for her gift.

Great customer servoce though & maybe I will acquire a taste for vodka ?

TheCrow · 20/10/2020 14:57

Anyone who ordered with Claire's click and collect had their stuff yet? I ordered last Tuesday, had the dispatch email on Thursday but still haven't had anything to say its arrived and is ready to collect

wherethewavesarehighest · 20/10/2020 15:02

@angstyalways Thank you I'll check them out. Had a look today and realised we're completely out of all the usuals, which is great for me but not so much for dd 🙉

Franticbutterfly · 20/10/2020 15:07

@Lockdownlumpy

Almost tempted to buy £80 of hotel chocolat just for me Grin
Yes please!
Itsonlymakebelieve · 20/10/2020 15:07

@TheCrow same story for me ordered on Tuesday despatch email on Thursday but nothing since.

freshcoatofpaint · 20/10/2020 15:11

TheCrow I read that as Claire's Dick and Collect at first and assumed you'd had terrible service BlushGrin

Luxplus · 20/10/2020 15:13

@Youhavewonaprize sorry for my late reply. I have screen dump the mail. Hope you get it to work

EdmundElephantIsACleverClogs · 20/10/2020 15:15

Anyone having issues with Claire's I sympathise if you are trying to contact their customer services. I am now on my 4th phone call where I've been cut off after 20 minutes. You can imagine how happy I am now Angry

noodledoodler · 20/10/2020 15:17

@Someaddedsugar I know!!!! Hotel chocolat would send the chocolate but not the velvetiser, amazon would send the velvetiser but not the chocolate, go figure lol

noodledoodler · 20/10/2020 15:20

FREEDEL35 was the code I found online for hotel chocolat so don't think its single use

gizmosslave · 20/10/2020 15:28

@MsMiaWallace

There are some Jurassic world toys on offer at Argos. Also Bargainmax sell figures at cheaper prices than Smyths.
Thank you!
recklessgran · 20/10/2020 15:29

@IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts thank you for the Etsy tip - ordered one for littlest DGD - that will be perfect for her.
I also have the generic Celtic & Co code UKTHANKS10 for £10 off a £10 spend. I got the insoles last year - or was it the year before? Anyway, I'm toying with the idea of getting some of the Cherry Blossom shoe stuff [cheapest things on the site] but even though technically free the p+p is hefty.
