Thread 8 - the one with the giraffe toilet roll holder that

[Reastie]

@AnotherOne4, thank you for introducing us to something that sounded so wrong in the thread title. Also loved the review you shared:
‘ Not only is it decorative, but also quite heavy. If you had intruders you could take them down with this also. Multipurpose’

Hi was there a Halford discount code? Want to get my son a bike for Christmas.

There's 10% off instore with a Vodafone code.

Managed to get the galaxy hot choc station today in home bargains. Glad I went as only 2 on the shelf. Also popped into the works where they had these calendar & diary sets for £3. Lots of different types not just horse ones. Good to bulk out the pressie pile

Has anyone bought their kids a slush puppie machine?

Just wondering if they are any good or a waste of money.

Thank you so much @Ricekrispie22, I’ve seen that book in Asda before and thought how beautiful it was but it was £30 so that’s a great price.

Lots of good stocking filler/party presents reduced in Tiger today

There's a free benefit mascara with the double magazine pack of bazaar and elle. £6.99 - I'm putting mine aside for my sister x

Not cheap but got my mum this last year and filled it with her two favourites. It was the biggest hit of Christmas!

So annoyed with Holland and Barrett. Ordered 3 beauty boxes back on 2/9 and it’s sat ‘waiting for despatch’ ever since despite repeated emails and calls. Finally spoke to someone with half a brain today and they cancelled my order as oos and refunded me £16
I’d paid £36 🙄 so now waiting for £20 and have to start again with dd stocking.

I just came on to ask the same thing. X2 bikes @ 300 each to buy 😭

IWOOT has 3 Harry Potter gifts for £16 this week is "Harry Potter week".

And just been in to Robert Dyas and they had an aisle of half price - mainly cookware including le Cruset but also basic cookware and toolkits (screwdrivers sets and drills etc). On the website there is 1/3 off so better in store.

@dizzygirl1 to buy a decent bike firstly avoid Halfords their bikes are heavy and expensive for what you get.

Frog bikes are very good, last well and you can usually sell them on for almost as much as you paid for them.
Otherwise find a local independent bike dealer.

@Chocolateemergency i have a 25% off code for olliella if you want it

Are they that bad? Mine are set on the carrera make that only halfords do, as all their mates have them

@dizzygirl1 my son is a mountain biker and has always had Carrera bikes from Halfords (the brand's often mentioned on here are WAY over our budget), maybe we've been lucky but we've never had an issue and they've lasted until outgrown then passed on.

@mummyof2boys30, my teen swears by Carrera.

@QOD - I'm also annoyed with H&B. Mine was dispatched but sent to the wrong place and customer services have not been very helpful.

Decathlon bikes are good, we found them cheaper and lighter than Halfords and pretty tough too!

I posted on a previous thread but I had issues with H&B last year. My parcel was despatched but never left their warehouse according to tracking and they wouldn’t attempt to find it Customer services were very unhelpful. Had to say I was going to claim through PayPal to get a refund.

Blacks have some decent stuff in the sale and it's free delivery this weekend if you have any walking / camping fans to buy for. Some North Face & Didriksons parkas and decent boots.
I was looking for camping stuff for scouts but might be tempted for me too!

Thanks! Perfect

I saw one Argos code here but it got used before I got to it. Does anyone else have codes please?

I have a free delivery code if that’s what you’re after?

@Mumto3thatsme Yes, delivery code I am after.

@PoirotAndHisMoustache if it's still available I'd love it please!!

@escapeyou we've got these slushy cups (bought in the summer) and they are pretty decent, the top review explains how to properly use them. I wouldn't bother with one of the plug in machines x
