Poor old Gary - he’s gone from money off his concerts to being drowned in hot chocolate 🤣. Thanks for the title @iklboo Grin

[quote Justhereforthechristmasthreads]@friskybivalves I've never used them but their Trustpilot reviews seem good but try Notino for your perfume

Any good?[/quote]
Ooooh now you're talking! Something beginning with a 3 is somehow much more manageable. Thank you! People are so kind on here. Spreading the love. I'm going to read up on the reviews as I've never heard of these sellers either but if I use a credit card that should be OK anyway Smile

Oh now I might have to pop out to Sainsbury's on my lunch break tomorrow in hopes of finding barbie bargains...

spudjulia · 17/11/2021 23:26

@valentinoandme @awishes thanks. Last time I tried to link from Amazon I gave my name and address away 😬. Tried really hard this time.

RJnomore1 · 17/11/2021 23:26

I bought the m n S light up chocolates about a month ago I think...went slightly mad in there tbh

AlbertCampion · 17/11/2021 23:29

@sycamorescrumptious not sure it's already been mentioned but I do Kiva - you lend money to a small business and then they pay it back and you reinvest in another one.

BirdsBirdsBird · 17/11/2021 23:58

Does anyone know if George at Asda do a general 20% off or similar for Black Friday please? There are a few clothes and other bits I'd like to get my kids but would be irritating to order than see I could have got it cheaper next week. Thanks.

Kerrierr · 18/11/2021 00:06

@MysticCT thank you so much for your kind offer. I managed to order one this morning from Amazon couldn’t believe my luck. Very good timing!
Now I just need to find some bargain PS5 games?!!!

@Runforwine

Anyone have any idea where I can get a soft hooded dressing gown for a 14 year old? Ds is autistic and only likes soft materials, no labels. Thanks
I got this for my autistic DS who has similar needs: https://www.marksandspencer.com/hooded-long-dressing-gown/p/clp60458400
MysticCT · 18/11/2021 00:31

@Kerrierr That's ok, glad you managed to get one.
Have you tried eBay, some games are 20% off until the end of 18th November or there is The Game Collection, my son buys a lot from there.

Scbchl · 18/11/2021 00:52

I'm very late starting Xmas this year would normally have finished by now but my kids are older, not as hyper and didn't know what they wanted. Tonight I have been given lists one wants an apple se watch and apple airpods. Does anyone know where is best to get them or am I best waiting till Black Friday. Also don't mind refurbished if immaculate. Thank you!

Helssjbells · 18/11/2021 02:03

@Newdad19 thank you for your suggestion of looking at Forza - I’ve managed to order a better net, for less than what I was originally looking at paying!

IggyAce · 18/11/2021 05:06

@Scbchl you can buy refurbished direct from Apple, we’ve got ds an iPad and it comes packaged the same as if it was new & has a guarantee. Obviously stock is hit and miss but updates regularly.

Poundtoy have a pre Black Friday sale code black35 takes another 35% off. They have some lovely looking Christmas activity packs, loads of different blind bags and some games.

[quote Sallylovesdaisy]@Runforwine i just got a gorgeous soft cuddly dressing gown, navy blue and no shiny labels £7 from youknowwhos.co.uk Absolute bargain £2.99 postage and free returns ( sorry can't seem to do linksBlush) [/quote]
@Sallylovesdaisy Do the clothes have the labels cut out or do they look like you bought them from the original shop? I wouldn't want to gift something if it looks like a second as the recipient I have in mind would definitely be offended by that.

Restlessinthenorth · 18/11/2021 06:26

Oh there are some really good make up sets on Boots right now, particularly a Bobbi Brown and Mac. I could be tempted for myself. I'm sure I remember there was a 10% off code. Does anyone still know it?

4thtimesthecharm · 18/11/2021 06:30

Can anyone remember what the link was for a cheap subscription to the TV times (or similar) which included the Xmas edition. I had a tab open but it says cannot be reached! I've no idea which thread it was on now, we're whipping along so fast

NoWordForFluffy · 18/11/2021 06:40

I think you've missed it, @4thtimesthecharm.

MerylSqueak · 18/11/2021 06:45

@Newdad19 you have to get a desk bell for your post office set!. DD, now 14, mentioned yesterday how much she'd loved hers.

drumdiddydum · 18/11/2021 06:52

echo dots are only £18.99 at the moment on early Black Friday deals.

QOD · 18/11/2021 07:01

Anyone got ideas on how to get this with a discount ? Too pricey otherwise
