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

@Lolly34h I ordered about 10 things from Zavvi about 2 weeks ago, and only 2 have arrived so far. I contacted them about it through their website, and a day later got a fairly generic "we're sorry we're a bit slow at the moment" email, although it looked like something sent out to everyone rather than specific to my order.

I hope they arrive soon as some need to be wrapped and posted on.

TheLastStarfighter · 04/12/2020 13:08

@Clevererthanyou Just had a look at the National Trust Scotland site - I could happily spend a fortune there! How did you end up with the free cow? Was there an offer?

snappydragon1 · 04/12/2020 13:10

Looking for a discount code for Books 4 People if such a thing exists?? I've googled but not come up with anything so far. Also somewhere to buy bargain Beano and Match annuals please?

BeaLola · 04/12/2020 13:18

The Last Starfighter there is a code on page for the free cow - if you spend over £20. I think it's Freegift20

Lovemusic33 · 04/12/2020 13:20

My fairy houses have arrived from Olive and Sage, very impressed with he speedy delivery. Tempted to them up for myself for Christmas as I can’t even remember who ones I actually bought so it wine a sunrise 🤣

PIGS IN BLANKETS silicon mould from Lakeland - might be an interesting gift for someone who already has everything!

@CeeceeBloomingdale @Daisy829 did you get a dispatch email from oodie? Mine is due to dispatch on 8th to a different address. Just wondering so I can say to look at for it. Thanks!

No, no further emails other than marketing ones since I ordered on 1st October

Daisy829 · 04/12/2020 13:35

No I didn’t get a despatch email. I got dpd notification of delivery but I’m waiting on a few bits so wasn’t sure what it would be. I’ve got sloth & avocado ones if that helps.

sunnyday1976 · 04/12/2020 13:44

@ClaraLane I've been to York this morning to buy Yorkshire Lass hand sanitiser as presents this morning. Also may have bought some gorgeous soaps and Bath bombs for stockings that I really didn't need!!

sepsisandAKI · 04/12/2020 13:46

Thanks both. I ordered back in Oct seems like an age ago! Avo one here too.

PinkJam · 04/12/2020 13:50

Godiva 10% off hampers with code: GIFT10

Fred56 · 04/12/2020 13:51

@1stTimeMama the drop store has ongoing offers but the code promo5 was in the box with my delivery for 5% off might work.

Mine came through Royal Mail so I didn’t even get any delivery notifications
Fred56 · 04/12/2020 13:53

Photo attached with codes for bloom and wildnaked wines the drop store I'm assuming they are generic.

Thank you so much @Itsonlymakebelieve

I've used the Voucher

SpamIAm · 04/12/2020 13:58

@WeAreTheWeirdosMister I'd just let her "buy" a present each off you and then you can give them the money from you. She doesn't need to know they were things you'd already bought.

Anydreamwilldo12 · 04/12/2020 13:59

My Oodie came today. It was stuck down with Royal Mail tape so must have came undone but all was fine inside.
I got a despatch email on Wednesday

Anydreamwilldo12 · 04/12/2020 14:00

I have a 20% matalan discount code. If anyone would like it pm me.

WhereTheresAHill · 04/12/2020 14:15

@Scout2016 thank you very much, I have used the second code.

If you have the patience to queue on (or can actually get onto) the website you can send a free bar of Cadbury Dairy Milk to someone with their Secret Santa service. They’ll also donate a bar to the trussel trust for every bar that’s sent
