@slithytoveisascientist

Would anyone be able to pm me an O2 rewards code for the Apple Watch 6 please? Tía
Have you got one?
Someaddedsugar · 14/11/2020 07:10

[quote BalaamsAss]@LikeSilentRaindrops I would love an O2 code! Thank you! We’re all on vodaphone in this house.[/quote]
I've just read further up it's contract only - I can share if you still need one?

Someaddedsugar · 14/11/2020 07:12

@BalaamsAss apologies - wrong o2 code Blush

betterwithouthim · 14/11/2020 07:13

I also have an o2 beer code I can share if anyone wants it.

Notlongnow1 · 14/11/2020 07:26

Best price I have seen on Bose soundsport free wireless Bluetooth headphones at £129

queenoftheglee · 14/11/2020 07:27

Thanks @straighthairdontcare I used your Argos code.

Notlongnow1 · 14/11/2020 07:30

Also liked this Roberts Radio deal for free clock radio with revival istream 3 Can get the radio slightly cheaper elsewhere but great deal if you are in the market for both. So excited to open my presents on Christmas day now!

princessbear80 · 14/11/2020 07:34

Do anyone know a code for We R Christmas? Thanks

BeGoneDom · 14/11/2020 07:39

Gravitrax on sale for £25 on Amazon. I don't have it but it's on my wishlist, I think maybe from this thread last year:

Debenhams have up to 40% off advent calendars
I love the Harry Potter one!

BalaamsAss · 14/11/2020 07:59

Ooh - good to know @yafilthyanimalandahappynewyear

Do you know if it’s in store as well as online? I am planning a trip to real life shops today (I’m in NI where our non-essential shops are open) to try and finish things off, and advent calendars are on the list. (As is a truck load of chocolate and caffeine to get me through - I am dreading it)

littlestpogo · 14/11/2020 07:59

Thank you BeGoneDom my eldest DS really wanted to buy this for his brother but it was just a bit too expensive.

yafilthyanimalandahappynewyear · 14/11/2020 08:06

@BalaamsAss it says online only in the email.
Ooo I'm jealous you can go real life shopping, have fun!

yafilthyanimalandahappynewyear · 14/11/2020 08:08

@BalaamsAss oh I just read that you're dreading it, well in that case I hope you have some fun!

Lavender211 · 14/11/2020 08:08

@idontlikediging
@VividImagination
Thanks, that is good to know Smile
I'll just go for normal chocolate then.

cloudatlaschapter2 · 14/11/2020 08:09

Hello everyone - I am after twin babies that have a dummy each. Any suggestion of a good brand? I am out of my depth Andrew usual toy shops don't seem to have such things!

luckiestgirl · 14/11/2020 08:11

@myhobbyisouting My banana loaf was delicious (but I did use chocolate instead of butter to sweeten it).
Because the chocolate biscuits I made we very bland - I’m not sure if it’s the whole gluten-free/vegan thing - they’re just not very tasty

waitforitwaitforit · 14/11/2020 08:25

Generally gluten free flour has no impact on taste - I bake gf a lot. Maybe it's the vegan factor. That'll be really disappointing- there's quite a lot of cake mix if it's crap.

JustanotherTuesday · 14/11/2020 08:28

@WreckTangled
Thanks, he is on a low carb diet, so he would have to have the chocolate as part of a meal and give up something else.
@IggyAce
Thanks, he likes all chocolate except white.I'll look at the higher percentage bars.

WreckTangled · 14/11/2020 08:35

@JustanotherTuesday you can buy chocolate called chocologic in Morrison's and Tesco. It's as low carb as the high cocoa one and uses 'good' sweeteners. Montezumas do high cocoa chocolate buttons. The 100% chocolate is not nice so I wouldn't recommend it. Ones like this are also good. Definitely don't buy anything in the supermarkets that say 'sugar free' as they all have the same carb content as normal items (the biscuits and gummy bears for example).

Elphaba17 · 14/11/2020 08:37

Would anyone have an argos code that would work on a £50 spend please?

Wiifitmama · 14/11/2020 08:39

I am looking for the Lumie SAD light for my DH for Christmas. It is £90 right now and I am really hoping to get it cheaper! Lots of places like John Lewis sell it so if anyone spots a sale or code, please let me know!

Elphaba17 · 14/11/2020 08:39

@VividImagination

argos code A28X72G36T4H - £7 off £60 - expires 16/11
I just tried to use this one but it looks like it has already been used. Thanks anyway though x
myhobbyisouting · 14/11/2020 08:45

"We have tried 2 boxes out of the rancid banana cake assortment, chocolate Brownies and chocolate cookies, and couldn't eat them. They smelled like edamame beans and had a really overpowering aftertaste. We don't normally eat gluten free so I'm not sure if that's the standard taste of flour replacers (maybe the linseed?)"

I wonder if the "rancid" reports they've had were just actually the fact they are gluten free (which I didn't know until now Blush)

NoWordForFluffy · 14/11/2020 08:48

@Elphaba17, I have a £3 off £30, but it might be specific to DH's Nectar card. I'll PM it if you want to try?
