Thread 28 - the one with the amarillo bulb and winter cheery plants

[Reastie]

Thanks @OyTheBumbler for the title. Now, does the Amarillo bulb grow the place or the song?!

I’ve finally updated the referral thread link in the post.

Wonder if this thread will get us to Christmas now we’re getting closer to being done.

Just wanted to say a huge HAPPY CHRISTMAS to everyone on here. Thank you for posting all your links and sharing codes etc; it’s made Christmas so much easier for so many people and I know I’ll be thinking of you all on Christmas Day.

Thanks @sprongle1 I’m off to Tesco now!

Ah I dithered too long on the Disney site and the code has stopped working before i checked out 🤦🏼‍♀️

@TheCrow aldi north road have 12 crackers for £2.99 by the till

I ordered bits of the Disney site around 6am this morning and placed an order with the code. I wonder if they’ll honour it?

@BeaLola

Now need some aftershave for a 15 year old - any suggestions for on trend stuff ? He has Disel and apparently asked for Armani ! No idea which one & don't think my DF would still love me if it smelt horrendous and I can now only buy online - thank you

Google 'aftershave discovery set' - it's just a fancy way of saying miniatures 🤣

You'll be able to buy a gift pack with a few in. I'm debating the Zara ones for DH

@BadgerFace

A big thank you to the poster who recommended the Hot Diamonds £15 birthday voucher which combined with MSE40 for 40% off and free next day delivery yesterday which got me some £70 earrings for £27!

I tried putting a birthday in but haven't received a £15 code 🤔 how far ahead did you put the birthday?

On the last thread someone had posted offering their spark’s discount to someone else. I’m not sure if it was to be used online or in store (does that even make sense?).

I ask as I have been sent the offer of a lovely candle (free) for collection in store only (expires 5 days). I won’t be in town this week and if there’s any way of anyone else using it I would be delighted.

I got a Loungefly bag on the Disney store with the code eeek! Hope it comes.

What's the link to the referral thread so I can add my TopCashback code to it please?

I'm heading in to M&S tomorrow amd would love to make use of this please if no-one else has asked first?

I wonder if the disney code will end up being like the John lewis glitch!

@Toastmost

I wonder if the disney code will end up being like the John lewis glitch!

I think so. And I’ve seen a post elsewhere saying that some people have been charged full price (no idea if accurate as I didn’t think they could do this).

Yeah I didn't use it but I'm always interested in what companies do, didn't john lewis fulfil some and cancel others? Pretty sure they can only take the amount authorised so would be shocking if people authorised x amount and took more! I hope at least some get their orders through.

In the real life shops plenty of reduced items today, I was surprised to see sales already!

@Elphaba17 you are welcome to it. Do you know what information you need in order to use it?

@Homerenonovice we got the hotel chocolat black friday deal and my coffee snob husband likes them
Not sure how much they are normally
You can get compatible ones in tesco/ aldi
Tesco have costa ones

Actually, now that I think about it I'm not sure I can. As far as I can remember the deduction would be automatic once you scan your sparks card, rather than being a barcode for an individual offer? Maybe someone else would know better?

Thank you for offering though xx

Thank-you to whoever it was (sorry can't remember) that posted about Homebase bargains. My decoration came and I love it! It looks great in the hallway. I'm even tempted to buy more They seem to be reducing everything.

@Getoutofbed25

What are the best Hot Diamond codes? I would like a necklace for me, but at £90 it’s a bit sore, I’m happy to wait til the sales of need be! I see there is free next day delivery. Thanks

Mse40 usually works

Any flying tiger ordering people, what was the import duty like? Used to love stocking up (haha) in the shops but now have moved out of the city so even without covid it isn't an option. Thinking about next year...

To share a Sparks offer you need to send a screenshot of your Sparks card (the online one) for it to be scanned at the till (preferably self-service!).

@Happydaysandhappysmiles no import duty for me but the bank did charge me a currency conversion fee as you can only pay in Euros, which was annoying. I won't be ordering from them again though after the experience that I and many others have had.

@dizzygirl1

We've just cancelled seeing our family over Christmas due to covid numbers. They love 200+ miles away. What could I send to them to say hi and that we still love them? It's my parents and also grand parents. It can't be too pricy as I've obviously bought their presents already, just a little 'hi, love you' kind of thing.

@dizzygirl What about something from www.biscuitfantastic.com/shop

And the old school banks wonder why people are moving to neobanks in droves

I paid Disney via PayPal and it’s complete with the discounted amount and no cancellation email. I checked on progress and is still going through. I ordered early this morning. Hoping it flies through!

I've tried to track my order on the Disney site and it's saying there's no such order
