It’s nearly December, Father Christmas is busy putting the final touches to his toys on the workshop and we are busy elves preparing for a somewhat different Christmas this year.

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
No space
Paste link
Space
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

If any link doesn’t work or you want to add something please let me know by @ing me Thanks

I know lots of us are after Schleich figures- Hamleys have some dinosaurs and horses for 3 for 2, and some are already discounted too. There is also 10% off...so I have just ordered 6 brilliant dinosaurs for £45 (not including postage)- I’m thrilled!

Is it just on the main page? I'm worried I've missed a link!

JaggyJumper · 26/11/2020 23:40

I’m the same. I was reading on here so decided to join the queue. I don’t think I need anything and I should really be in bed 🤦🏼‍♀️

Chocolateteabag · 26/11/2020 23:41

@Christmasmcchristmasface Swan do this milk frother for £34.99 - but have a 22% off code BLACKSWAN22
Which would bring it to £27
They are also on topcashback but not sure if that would track with the code

myhobbyisouting · 26/11/2020 23:41

I'm on the Aldi site and refreshing...that will work won't it?! I don't want to be kicked out Shock

Pawpawpaws · 26/11/2020 23:41

I’m not in a queue for ALDI yet - am I doing something wrong? @NoWordForFluffy

SkintSanta · 26/11/2020 23:42

DH got put in the queue but I didn't and am on the website. Not sure why I'm not in the queue! Probably not a good sign though

myhobbyisouting · 26/11/2020 23:42

This is what I can see at the moment....

dizzygirl1 · 26/11/2020 23:42

@pawpawpaws I'm the same hence my worry!

SkintSanta · 26/11/2020 23:43

Hmmm few of us don't seem to be in the queue then!

NoWordForFluffy · 26/11/2020 23:43

This is where I am; on my bookmarked BF page. They've probably moved it though!

Shitfuckoh · 26/11/2020 23:43

I'm not in a queue yet either... I hope that's not a bad sign!

Pawpawpaws · 26/11/2020 23:44

Same page for me @myhobbyisouting

dizzygirl1 · 26/11/2020 23:44

I'm confused as to the queue!

HoldingForGeneralHugs · 26/11/2020 23:45

I joined the queue too, not sure why i just fancied seeing whats on there🐑

Im 16481

myhobbyisouting · 26/11/2020 23:45

Oh Christ. Should I be in a queue?!

HoldingForGeneralHugs · 26/11/2020 23:46

To be fair it says at the bottom of the page come back at midnight so might be a reason why its being funny for people?

Shitfuckoh · 26/11/2020 23:46

Argh no queue here.. I'll be annoyed if I've stayed up this late & get put in a queue with 2 mins left to go or something

NoWordForFluffy · 26/11/2020 23:46

I've got a 22 minute wait, apparently!

scrappydappydoo · 26/11/2020 23:47

How do you get into a queue???

AHippoNamedBooBooButt · 26/11/2020 23:47

@myhobbyisouting of course you need a roomba in your life! I've wanted one for years but never could justify the cost but I'm going for it now.

No queue for me either yet though

FizzyPink · 26/11/2020 23:47

For anyone who likes lots of wine Laithewaites are doing 12 bottles plus a magnum and two tumblers for £50 or £40 if you also have a blue light card. You have to sign up to their subscription but can cancel after your order has been delivered.
Code to add to the basket is 30LWQ2

www.laithwaites.co.uk/product/Bestsellers-Super-mix-Mega-Deal-NV/M12634

It also works on the red or white bundles

KillZill · 26/11/2020 23:47

I'm on my phone and not in a queue when using google chrome but have been on for a while.
Just went to the same site using apple Safari and it took me to 26500th in a queue with an hour wait

NoWordForFluffy · 26/11/2020 23:47

@Shitfuckoh, what link have you used? Maybe you just skipped the queue?!

myhobbyisouting · 26/11/2020 23:48

I'm on safari and no queue.

Ffs if they kick me out I'll cry 😭
