@Notlongnow1

My fiorelli bag has just arrived. I'm in love 😍

So glad it was as good as you expected @Notlongnow1 - what did you get? Mine has just arrived and I'm really pleased with it too.

@Newforestdonkey i have pm'd a lakeland code to you

@rainbowphilosophy I got the black cove crossbody (now sold out - I checked because I love it so much I considered buying a back up!) Slightly bigger than crossbody bags I have had - my first thought was "that is the perfect size to fit my 16oz klean kanteen" which is perfect because my kids are past needing nappies and spare clothes but still need a snack supply and wipes 🤣

Do people think the QVC Hotel Chocolat velvitiser offer is THE Hotel C offer? As in, the only one they will be doing and no boxes of chocolates? My hard to buy for dad was rapsodising about HC chocs last night, for the first time ever. Shame he's maybe a year late!

Thanks for replying, won’t work for me, but has given me some ideas.

Thanks for the piececool nod, just got one for DSS.

You've all helped me get through my Covid isolation with Christmas shopping.

My forelli bag arrived. A cove sustainable crossbows bag. It is amazing....really don't want to put it away for Christmas

I got the same one. Also surprised at it being slightly bigger but it'll be fab as a middle bag yipppeee

@DoucheCanoe

For those who bought the bargain tie dye set many threads ago I picked up some 100% fair trade cotton t-shirts from Lidl - 2 for £2.49.

What was the bargain tie dye set? Thanks for the Lidl t-shirt tip :)

@Haudyourwheesht

The Christmas stuff in The Range is amazing. Lots of little animated Christmas villages and the like. Well worth a trip for Christmas Junkies.

I went yesterday and saw how Christmas had thrown up - it was awesome! I spent far too long looking at a musical decoration before telling myself I did not need it and that the £40 would be better spent elsewhere...just need to remain strong now...!

@Notlongnow1 and @dizzygirl1 obviously we all have fabulous taste as I got the teal version 😂

@rainbowPhilosophy I almost bought the teal, it does look beautiful!

@rainbowphilosophy indeed!
@dizzygirl1 I don't have your restraint - mine is already loaded ready for the school run 🤣

@bizzey

Has anyone used the reusable bags for wrapping ? How many years do you get out of them(!!) "Must have ideas" website has some with discount . Need to properly check the sizes though. Our presents are not put under the tree till a huffing ,puffing slightly tippsy Santa puts them there at about 2am Christmas morning .

Then all the paper gets chucked .(recycled obvs)
I like the array /mess of paper on the floor ...but ....what a waste of money for things being wrapped up for less than 6 hours !

I sometimes buy minecraft/fortnite/lego t-shirts or jumpers from charity shops (for DS) if I see them cheap and they're the right size and use them to wrap mid-sized pressies. With a bit of careful folding, they can look really nice and it becomes a double-pressie with no wrapping-paper waste. He's always seemed really pleased with them.

Similarly, nice charity shop scarves are also good for older girls/ladies' pressies wrapping....

goes to search for the teal

Just leaving these here 🤔🤔🤣🤣

Ha ha , you can see what I was looking up earlier .
Had not got a clue what those piececool things were .

@bsgetty I love you . I’ve ordered both, probably for DH but might give to niece and nephew. I did have to order them separately to get the full money off. Thank you. I love these threads so much, I wish I’d found you all years ago.

To those wondering about bargain 247 .
My order came today . Very quick , I think I placed it Monday .
All good ...and as was described .

Anyone know if IKEA are doing their real trees this year with the voucher . Thanks

They usually do 2 or 3 at Christmas. I bought the chocolates last year.

Has anyone managed to get the Happy Puzzle code to work? @Theimpossiblegirl, I've tried both, is it off certain things only?
