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.

Have pm’d you @spudjulia

My YesChef arrived and I am very very impressed! Well packaged, lovely instructions and everything looks fresh. Extremely good value at half price!

@suneetime

Have pm’d you *@spudjulia*

Thank you so much 😊

@thegriffle that looks good. I obviously missed that offer 🤦‍♀️
How much was it? Thinking of next year 😀

£5 off £50 at Argos A4ZVMYSJS4AT

@TheGriffle

My YesChef arrived and I am very very impressed! Well packaged, lovely instructions and everything looks fresh. Extremely good value at half price!

I was too scared to order as saw a few bad reviews, wish I'd ignored the reviews now! So glad you've received and it looks yummy! Do be sure to post pics of it all cooked on the big day

Has anyone else shopped the next sale? I must say I'm very disappointed , my only purchase was a pair of school shoes for ds. I normally fully kit out son in the next size up but not impressed, maybe they'll add some more lines though?

They do tend to keep adding more, Pink. I shopped on Tuesday (forgot about school shoes; might look now, but I'm not holding out hope!) and did manage to get what I was after (trousers for DS and new curtains for our lounge window). It's really hit and miss, I find.

I’ve got Argos (over £100) code and Lakeland codes if anyone wants them?

I ordered loads in the next sale (all for me) I do this and send at least half back as it doesn't look the same in person as it does online.

I didn't look for myself when I first went on yesterday. Just been back on and ordered myself a pair of socks! You sound the same as me, I normally order loads and send it back too!

@dizzygirl1 it was half price at £30. I certainly have paid £60 for it but for £30 I think it’s really good value. I’ve never used Hello Fresh or the likes so the novelty of all the little peeled garlic cloves and tiny pot of salt and honey has cheered me right up!

*I certainly wouldn’t have paid £60 that should say!

@TheGriffleOh that looks good. I sent a box to a family member having a tough time and was really hoping it would be nice. Theirs is due soon hope they are happy as I know I would be with yours.

[quote chillimice]@2lostsouls we play the cats game with our 10 & 12 yos and it was a real hit (but I do check the cards - I can't remember porn.. will have to look closer!!!! ) and as @nocutsnobuttsnococonuts says def get different pens as the ones in the box are rubbish [/quote]
@2lostsouls it is naughty of the entertainer selling it, you wouldn't think something in a toy shop would be unsuitable for children! It is fun if you sift out the inappropriate cards.

@chillimice its been about a year since we last played so I cant remember the exact cards, so I could be mistaken! I just remember horror at having to explain things or quickly hurrying away cards 🤣 definitely recommend the dog game by the same people, we really enjoyed it. I think that was also £4/5 in the entertainer. Nothing unsuitable in that one!! Haha!!

Thank you to the person who posted about the yea chef box! Mine had come today and I’m really impressed. I am missing the spouts so I contacted their customer service and they are sending me some out today to arrive tomorrow! Can’t fault that. 🙂

Just popping on to say thank you to the poster who put on the YesChef code. mine has arrived today and I am very impressed. it comes with a recipe booklet and timings for Xmas Eve prep and cooking on the day too. Much better than battling for the last sprouts in Tesco!

I have 20% off at The Entertainer if anyone is interested

@TheGriffle looks good!

How are you guys shopping Next sale already?

For me it says it starts tomorrow at 3. I’ve got the app, am signed in, and have been a customer for years, so would have expected early access if they are doing it that way.

@TwinkleTwinkleLittleStarFightr they started vip access from Tuesday I think. I had a slot Tuesday evening but loads of stuff was already sold out so it must have started before then

I’m a bit ticked off that I am not a VIP, given how much I spend with them

@TwinkleTwinkleLittleStarFightr you tend to only get a decent VIP slot if you have a Nextpay (credit) account. I don't so although I spend a fair amount I don't get VIP either. Probably a good thing for my bank balance!

I don’t have a credit account but do have the unlimited delivery. My dh doesn’t have either but he also got a vip slot albeit for today I think so not an early one (I’m assuming he’s bought me next clothes for Christmas to get his)

I had a slot for Next VIP for Tuesday at 2pm I think that's the earliest I've ever got. I don't know what time it officially started. A couple of things I had seen on the preview had disappeared at that point so possibly had sold out. I'm also sure the preview wasn't the same as the actual sale because I hardly found anything I wanted when previewing, then suddenly loads of stuff when I actually logged into the sale.
