Thread 27 - the one with a panicked thread title

[Reastie]

Title because the last one’s nearly used up and I haven’t got time to do my usual picking of a title, sorry.

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.

Referral thread here to use for if you’re posting your personal referral link to others.

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

@PastelGiraffe

Thanks for the thread! I finally got the Papier referral to work and have bought some lovely things.

If you know anyone who likes nice stationery, there are loads of different designs of notebooks which can be personalised and there’s about 25% off at present.

This means if you use a referral link for the £15 off, you can get a personalised notebook for less than £5 delivered, which is a great price for a personalised gift.

I’ve popped my referral link over on the other thread but there’s loads of others there too 👍🏻

@PastelGiraffe did you manage to get the £15 code to work on top of the already added discount? It takes the discount off when I try

I've followed these threads religiously but dropped the ball and missed at least a whole thread!

Could anyone recommend pre made cocktails (ideally with a discount!)? We've had Kocktail but wasn't that impressed with the packaging.

@DollyPartBaked Tonic are really good!

Thanks so much for the Love Crafts tip @MerylSqueak, that website is fab!

@SlurpleThePurple it was working for me yesterday - haven’t tried again this morning but I will do so shortly and let you know. Hope you get it to work!

I ordered anyway as it was still a good deal. I think I used your link but I can't remember which one I clicked!!

Not entirely Christmas related, but trying to add stuff to my Ocado order has been fraught - a trip in the car to Sainsbury's and they had everything. Not talking anything weird - cat food, cinnamon sticks, pistachios! Not sure what is going on with Ocado.

Thanks @Reastie

@DentalWorries I've ordered of Sweetzy quite a lot during lockdown, they always have offers on - you can make your own pick and mix which I love.

I'm still debating wether to get dd6 and dd4 Happy Nappers. High Street Tv give a £10 discount when buying two but I still don't want to spend over £75 on two pillows that likely won't get used or break quickly.

However I remember the upset of wanting a Mr Frosty and always being told no for the same reasons.

Has anyone seen discount codes or anywhere I can get two large Happy Nappers before Christmas that won't cost so much?

@DollyPartBaked I can recommend tapp'd or cocktail bar in a jar are my favourite - real fresh cocktails in a jam jar

DentalWorries we're vegetarian & my DC are a bit fussy with sweets so I bought cups from The Works last year for £1.50 & filled them with sweets & chocolates they enjoy. I'm using the cups again this year, they love it & it works out quite reasonably priced.

Thanks for all the recommendations everyone! I went on Sweetzy and they have 20% off with the code TREAT20

£5 off £50 at Argos URTXJK5L

Not on the high street have a new 15% off code. Thanks for not sending before I checked out, NOTHS but I hope this helps someone on here! I used a Quidco withdrawal to get £30 off the spend anyway. Hurrah!

I LOVE having a houseful and hosting party's. Everyone always has a good time and I get tons of thank you's the next day. I'll never stop hosting.
I think your friends are very rude re not saying thank you in the morning. Especially when they're not expected to bring their own drinks and there's plenty of food for everyone. I've always got plenty of booze but everyone always brings a bottle anyway.
I definitely agree that lockdown has changed social etiquette - people have forgotten how to behave in company. Don't let it put you off; we all need to adjust.

@MummyMayo1988 wrong thread?

@Ourlady please could I have the £10 argos code if you still have it? Thanks 😊

@Twinningaround yes I'll pm it over now.

Does anyone have an active Yoto referral code please? Tried one from the referral thread but it doesn't seem to be doing anything.

Feel free to tell me I'm doing it wrong too! :D

Thanks so much xx

I couldn't get yoto referrals to work at all. A little find has cards and players ans I got a 10% discount code through immediately on signing up to their news letter. Stuff arrived very fast even though it was black Friday when I ordered. Hope that helps.

Any tips for best place to buy MAC make up at the moment please?
