Thanks @Carrie76 for the title. Just for everyone’s info - the chat was about tablet size 😁

If you’re posting anything specifically for me please do @ me or I may not spot it. It’s helpful if when sharing bargain info you bold it to make it easy for people to differentiate between chat and bargain links.

@YourHandInMyHand honestly? No. I love the chat and helping each other out snd giving advice etc it really cheers me up. I've not been well lately and fell behind but I just skimmed what I'd missed.

I agree thaegumath I love the chat - it creates the feelgood feeling so lovely on here. I, too, just skim days when I've missed loads

@ChristmasCatBells

Code for 50% off a printed marshmallow with mallowme. I have got the code 11 hours to use it but I am not going to use it. Reviews seems mixed.

VODA50

I used your code - thank you very much :-)

@YourHandInMyHand

I can't for the life of me keep up with these threads this year. Last year I just about kept up, and remember it being discussed should the chat be separate and it only be deals posted. Back then I felt the chat was nice. This year I'm wishing I voted deals only.

They are filling soo quick and I just don't have the time to keep up and scroll through it all. Sad Anyone else finding the same?

The chat is never going to be 'banned' as it's part of these threads, so even if you'd voted for deals only, it wouldn't have happened.
Someaddedsugar · 01/12/2021 20:13

Does anyone know if there's a live code for the Chocolate Emporium please?

StopGoQuitStart · 01/12/2021 20:15

Oh thank you for all who recommended jigsaws. Lots of options I’d never have come across - thanks all!

(Also like the chat aspect. It’s what makes the thread cosy and friendly otherwise it’s just a bunch of links to deals which is a bit dry for my tastes. I skim read when have missed days but generally try to catch up once a day to see what’s happening)

TheDrsDocMartens · 01/12/2021 20:20

I don’t think there’s that much chat outside the deal hunting. I’ve definitely been on much worse years for chatting

RJnomore1 · 01/12/2021 20:24

Oh are we having the chat chat twice this year. Grand.

Deals only would feel a bit dry imo, some of the offers are fast moving anyway so if I miss a day I just catch up with a few pages.
I8toys · 01/12/2021 20:30

I need to have the chat function because I need to vent about Gary Barlow loitering on my sparks. He needs to be gone now. Its been too long give me new offers.

@WotgunShedding

Thanks for the thread!

Can anyone recommend a present for around £30 (but preferably cheaper!) for an avid golfer who has a lot of the gear already? I know nothing about golf and am stumped.

If he practices putting at home I'd recommend a product called a Puttout. It's a Gadget for putting that's around £30 they are brill.
Iggi999 · 01/12/2021 20:35

Thanks @vividimagination I havent picked anything from there for my secret santa but have found something for another friend!

I love the "chat" part of this thread .
So much so ...I am going to add my own...
DC's have started mentioning things they would like ...
I have to sit there with my smug face on ...because everything they have mentioned is already bought and wrapped up in the corner of my bedroom !!
I know them so well !

CeeceeBloomingdale · 01/12/2021 20:40

This is a great deal, especially as it can be split for stocking fillers or teacher gifts.

10 Philosophy shower gels at QVC

They are £35.00 for 10 but if you use a referral link you get them for £25 plus £3.95 delivery so £2.90 per bottle.

My referral link is here

sittingonacornflake · 01/12/2021 20:43

Oh please for the love of God can someone help me.

Thought I was done.

DS has just asked for the paw patrol lookout tower.

It'd MASSIVE and £80.

Is there anywhere that sells it cheaper?!

@sittingonacornflake if you don't mind secondhand take a look at FaceBook Marketplace. You should be able to pick one up there.

There's some secondhand on gumtree

Otherwise, yes, it's 80 quid Blush

sittingonacornflake · 01/12/2021 20:48

@MydeamonsanOstrich @MeredithGreyishblue I've tried second hand as that would be ideal but not many going near me in Cornwall.

I'll keep trying. Still a few weeks to go I guess.

TheCrow · 01/12/2021 20:51

Are the m&s Belgian biscuits on the advent calendar the ones that come in a bronze coloured tin? They're an absolute must for us at christmas, we usually get them at half price but as far as I know they haven't been reduced at all for the past few years

Thanks for this. I managed to finally buy something that my DD thought was suitable for her BFF's 18th!
