Thanks @GoblinDaughter for the title

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

Does anyone know if the Aldi velvetiser is going to be restocked. I've been so annoyed with myself for missing it as have a huge hot chocolate lover to buy for and been stalking the website. It said constantly "sold out" but now says "coming soon" so I'm living in hope it'll be back.

Thank you

Justonedayatatime11 · 03/12/2020 20:45

Does anyone have a Matalan code going spare please?

BunnyBerries · 03/12/2020 20:46

@Scbchl

Just back from there and they had this adorable Robin planter for £6!

@Haveyoubrushedyourteeth I am glad you are ok now.

I successfully made it round Home Bargains and I found the chocolate bombs. Thanks for your help

Is there a code for The Drop Store that I've missed please?

@TheCrow

Received an email from qwertee to say my cyber Monday purchase has been dispatched. It said this- 'Your order should arrive between December 14th and December 21st and no later than January 6th.'

How are they sending it, carrier pigeon?! 😂

From China via Ireland I think from Qwertee

@Justonedayatatime11 PM'd you

Lostinagoodbook · 03/12/2020 21:26

I've been following these threads and got lots of good ideas thankyou :-)

Anyone looking for watches- I've just bought a fossil watch for dh at less than half price- massive sale on website and if you put welcome15 in the promo box you get an extra 15% off too!!!!

Justonedayatatime11 · 03/12/2020 21:28

Thanks sorryiasked but it says it's invalid Sad

TheLastStarfighter · 03/12/2020 21:32

A bit misleading if that’s the case. Their company info gives addresses in U.K., ROI, and US.

That’s why I bought from them. I figured they’d be quicker than the ones I had ordered from AliExpress Hmm

CoffeeAndEnnui · 03/12/2020 21:37

Thanks to everyone who gave flower advice. I'm going to have a good nose at those options tonight.

Molton Brown voucher problems I have now had a reply from Magazine Subscriptions who asked me for the card number and PIN and have now activated the card.

Sounds like someone fucked up and posted the cards prior to activation.

You can check if your card is activated here www.moltonbrown.co.uk/store/gift-cards/check-balance, and if it's notw working, I recommend you email Magazine Subscriptions, who sorted it out for me within 24 hours.

Has anyone seen any deals on Kiehls midnight rescue oil? I've found the 15ml for £22 but was hoping to find the 30ml for around the £30 mark including post. Probably asking for the moon on a stick!

CoffeeAndEnnui · 03/12/2020 21:45

Was a B&M Christmas sack thread ever created? Have searched but come up with nothing. I could really do with a letter E to finish off a mother/daughter surprise for a friend but a trip to the biggest B&M we can access today was a huge letdown, they aren't selling them at all anymoreXmas Sad

I would love a Matalan code if anyone has a spare. I can offer a Boden, New Look or Peacocks code in return 😀

I had the same response from the magazine people but I’ve not had chance to reply yet with my card details. I also had a response from Molton Brown- none of my orders went through so no money has been taken- however 3 payments on my account are still showing as pending!?!- think I may have to take this up with the bank. What a faff In the meantime the item I wanted has increased in price as there is no longer the BF discount

@Fuckingfuckssake, YOU are an absolute rock star! Thank you!!!
