Vodafone codes thread here

Second message has a few links and info which I’ll slowly build up, let me know if there’s anything you’d like me to add to it

I've got the rubbish sparks offer for the organising app thing too.
Bank attack looks quite fun, my kids have really enjoyed outfoxed which is collaborative too so I think they'd like it.
I will keep an eye out for price drops.

On a different note, has anyone been to a 'Joules Big Sale'? And is it worth it in terms of stock / prices?
There's one soon about as near to me as they ever get, but it's still 45 mins drive plus you have to book a £5 ticket so don't want to go if they aren't great.
I went to a boden one years ago and bought nothing as was mostly tiny sizes, and I'm not tiny

Popped into my local M&S and they have all the Christmas decorations and candles out. I treated myself to some Christmas scented tea lights and got some Christmas Percy pigs.
They had light up tea houses but no shortbread ones, there was space for them but they had filled with the large tins of shortbread. Hopefully more stock is coming as I’d like another one.

My local Home Bargains (S.E. London) had the Cadbury's build a Chcocolate Christmas house in today for £11.99.

Has anyone else had their Amazon orders cancelled for the cheap perfumes a lot of us ordered over the weekend? I managed to get a Ted Baker man and women for £4.57 each and just received emails that they've both been cancelled

God sorry, just seen the other cancellation posts.
I've had this happen a few times recently on Amazon too good to be true buys

Orders cancelled here too.

I’ve just bought a metal detector for me and DH. This thread is dangerous

Yep the 3 river island perfumes and the facemasks have all been cancelled. That was half my nieces Christmas present.

My perfume/aftershave orders also cancelled by Amazon. 🙁

I contemplated the Exeter one as there that weekend but worry it would be just the dregs left by the Saturday.

Still trying to get the elusive light up biscuit tins in M&S, today
If anyone wanting these is on Ocado they are available to buy there with your normal shop

@Devoilmum thank you so much xx

Face mask set cancelled here too 🙄

Colin calendar success today. Also these Colin pencil cases are £5 and are filled with biscuits so I got those too
M&S Altrincham has the shortbread light up houses if that’s any use to anyone.

10% off LOL dolls/stuff at The Entertainer with code EMAILLOL-MXZX-THHE-2ABK-HDKK
might be single use, but hopefully will help someone. my DD is no longer interested in LOLs (thankfully)

Sorry to be a pest. Many threads ago people were buying portable fire pit sets. I've suddenly realised it would be a great gift for someone. I have found some on amazon. Can anyone remember what price they were. Cheapest just now is £12.99 which is fine, but I had thought they were around £10. Also has anyone tried theirs yet? Were they any good? I'm worried it will be hard and dirty to pack back up once it has been used.

Thanks!

My DS would love bank attack but 6 out of 7 of the most recent reviews (end of July to now) say it stopped working very quickly. Has anyone had it and played it lots and it’s been fine? I’m tempted again but DS would be upset if it stopped working quickly, as has happened to some remote controlled toys.

Lots of light up biscuit tins at M&S food in martlesham this morning.

Do Dunelm do codes? Anyone got one they could give me please?

Nice little set for £10 with free bag

Light up tea houses and a light up gingerbread house (I think?) in Chester Marks this morning but no shortbread, just an empty shelf. They had all the light up alcohol and also a light up box of chocolates. To paraphrase my mum it'd be like Blackpool illuminations in the kitchen will all those!

Dynamix bionic powet is half price at tesco with a club clubcard (from £30 to £15).

Same for the big pug plushies .

I got a fire pit from Aldi - £23 I think? There were out of stock online last time I looked but a local store may have some - I saw one in mine on Friday.

Had a little trip to some real shops today. B&M were very disappointing, several aisles empty waiting for Christmas stock to be put out. No Christmas PJ's at all

Matalan, ditto, lots of empty aisles.

Home Bargains was much better though! All of their wrapping paper was £1 a roll, including the Kraft paper and the extra wide paper (1m X 6m). They also had a cute Christmas "colour my placement" booklet (£1, looooots of pages). Also, sets of boozy marmalade, little nutcracker or train tins (with chocolate inside, to go on the tree) and (not Christmassy) 2 packs of 12 Pepsi cans for £7, all different versions.
