Thread 5 - the one where I saw 999 and panicked!

[Notlongnow1]

Hopefully @Reastie will be along to add all the necessary info!

Haha glad I'm not the only one! @WhereTheresAHill and @PaddingtonPaddington!

@anotherone4 that's so good to hear 😋

I've had a cryptic delivery notification from Hermes about my HB order. 🤞They turn up next week. I also got another delivery note from Bodum event though I've already got my order.

Thanks for the fossil tip. I'm done with christmas I think but I have sorted a hard to buy for nephews birthday with that tip 😊

@shash1982 Smyths used to do a £10 off every £50 spent offer, although obviously they didn’t last year. I’ve read this year it’s potentially during the week commencing September 20th if it goes ahead this year. I think they might also do something around Black Friday.

Has anyone managed to get the lee card holder to go through on Fossil?.....£17 down to £11.20 with discounts. Says they are in stock in black and brown but just throws me out every time at final stage of checkout

Thanks @LikeSilver think I will hold off ordering and wait until then.

Now just debating whether to place an order with fragrance direct as they have 10% off!

Thanks for the fossil code info, I’ve ordered 2 wallets for £20 total to cover 2 hard to buy for males!

@FiloFaxx

Resisted the blooming buns all last year and have caved tonight 🙈

Me too , thanks for the heads up . Been waiting for these to come back into stock.

Anyone with artistic kids recommend any alcohol markers? Not like the kids ones, more "proper" ones for adult artists? DD18 thinks they would be a good present for younger sibling.

I have used alcohol markers for ages to make cards. Mostly colouring in stamped images.

I find Copic the best but they are extremely expensive. My first set was a far less expensive set I got on Amazon. They worked well. Just had a firmer tip than the expensive Copic Ciao.

I would recommend a cheaper set at first to see if your daughter enjoys them.

There are some really good YouTube videos on how to use them. They blend beautifully and you can get great dimension in your work.

Baaaaa I resisted for the whole of last years threads, and all of the pre-christmas bargain threads this year annnnd the first 4 of these threads and I have finally caved and bought a cinammon buns kit

Does anyone know if fossil "eco leather" is actually environmentally friendly leather, or if its vegan leather (plastic). I. Can't find the answer anywhere on their website.

Code NUS gets 10% off at surfdome - just managed to pick up these for 11yo dd for £81.85 who has asked for a pair

@Tinysnickers they sell both, eco leather is animal leather that “Went through a resource-efficient tanning process” and the vegan leather is “Composed of organic and synthetic material blend.”

Here’s the page I got it from :)

Was hoping to get the asda wooden dolls house. Just checked the price to see if it would be cheaper come Monday for the toy rollback but they're all out of stock does anyone know if it's likely they'll come back in stock before Christmas?

Amazing bargain for Tiny treasures (last season) Twin dolls bumper set - £29 @ Argos.

The new season ones are £70 (and personally I think the old ones are cuter!)

@2020isoverthankgoodness @Summerbreeze4 bah humbug. I'm getting really fed up with their super crappy Sparks cards offers. I'd rather they didn't do them!

Thanks for the Fossil tip. I've just bought myself a lovely bag and purse for a bargain price!

@Wolfcub I'd strongly recommend buying your nephew a good pair of binoculars as they'll be more effective at star and planet gazing than any telescope assuming your budget is less than at least £150.

@BunnyBerries Thank you for the Tiny treasures baby bargain! They've were already in the clearance section at a bargain price so I didn't expect them to drop even further, I've bought the single baby to put away for grandaughters birthday next year as we've completed her Christmas presents and I too prefer the older ones to the latest.

What a bargain! Unfortunately not in stock anywhere around here which is a shame.

The Fossil savings (Outlet sale+enter the 30% discount code on website+sign up for newsletter and get 15% off on top) have meant I’ve hopefully got 4 wallets and 2 zipped card pouches on the way for £60.64 rather than £290 full price. Bit nervous by the ‘of we have any issues fulfilling your order we’ll let you know ASAP’ comment on the order as this would mean all the trickier family members would be bought for!

There's 5% topcashback for fossil too

@LittleLego Thank you!

I tried 3 times to buy the Byron clip holder and each time it went past the credit card screen before saying out of stock and deleting it from my order. Gave up in the end. I’m guessing their website doesn’t show live availability hence why they any they may have to contact you if some orders might not be fulfilled.
