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

I’ve finally Blush 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.

@SpamIAm - thanks for that, will hold off buying and keep an eye during the year for Liz Earle bargains then!

@Twinkleylight

Thank you everyone for the bargains and funny chats. I bought loads & my best bargain was the new scrabble board game for £3.50 from Argos. Cheers and Merry Christmas!
Gutted I missed Scrabble!

Merry Christmas to you all and thank you for the cheery Christmas chat and all the bargains.

I got lovely Yoshi leather wallets in the sale (before remembering that my vegan nephew may not appreciate leather) but a great bargain none the less, Jaques of London wooden toys at bargain prices for all the little ones and sheepers faulty slippers for myself.

Ds3 (15) decided yesterday that he would actually like a guitar for Christmas so a hasty call to the local music shop and I pick it up today. Thanks to these threads I remembered to ask if I could have a discount if I bought a gig bag too and got 25% off the bag (better than nothing)!

A very merry and safe Christmas to you all Xmas Smile

Thanks to these threads I remembered to ask if I could have a discount

That reminded me of the suggestion that I should should shout WELCOME10 at the checkout when IRL shopping 😂. Still makes me giggle when thinking about it.

MerylSqueak · 24/12/2021 12:33

Xmas Smile Merry Christmas everyone!

Thank you all for all the bargains and chat.

I hope you all have the wonderful day you deserve.

Last minute request for help....
I know it's been mentioned on previous threads but can anyone remind me which is the best DNA kit to get please?
Super hard to buy for DH has just casually mentioned he'd like to do this in the new year so I'm going to do an iou!
Thanks so much for all bargains, chat and Christmas cheer.
Will look forward to joining chips again in the summer. Merry Christmas all.

Omg ds has just managed to smash all our dinner plates putting them away. So that’s me looking for a new set after Christmas, luckily we have a best set and no guests so can manage, but it’s the last thing I needed today. Dh had a positive lateral yesterday so we are awaiting pcr results.

Sideorderofchips · 24/12/2021 13:45

Merry Christmas eve!!

TwinkleTwinkleLittleStarFightr · 24/12/2021 14:08

Goodness @IggyAce. It’s all happening at your house! Fingers crossed for negatives for you, and I hope you find a lovely new dinner set in the sales.

ThatsMySantaHisBeardIsSoFluffy · 24/12/2021 14:33

The Matalan sale has just started...or I've just been notified. I've bought a couple of bath towels, but I don't really need anything else.

bananasinchristmaspyjamas · 24/12/2021 14:52

Oh @IggyAce what a nightmare! At least it happened just as the sales are starting though!

lightisnotwhite · 24/12/2021 16:59

I just got a lovely work dress from Principles in Debenhams online. £12.00 down from £40 something. Plus free next day delivery with APPYDAYS code. Tons of stuff in the sale.

WhiteCatmas · 24/12/2021 17:53

@IfyoushouldmeetaCrocodile don’t buy one. Do not sell your family’s dna to the internet.

DockOTheBay · 24/12/2021 18:45

Last minute Christmas bargain of a Waitrose turkey reduced from around £70 to £15. We have beef tomorrow and I had bought fairly cheap gammon for boxing day, but we can have organic free range turkey now instead Grin

Ashmonster · 24/12/2021 18:46

Thank you everyone for these threads. They have been my go to for several years now, but I think this year has been the best so far. From Bowtastic to Tiles, many bargains have been had.
Merry Christmas one and all. I hope you all get to have the best day possible.

lightisnotwhite · 24/12/2021 19:09

DockOTheBay Happy Christmas indeed!

Someaddedsugar · 24/12/2021 19:27

Happy Christmas everyone! Thank you so much to you all, and especially to @Reastie, for bringing some much needed cheer! Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas (and hope your DH is ok @IggyAce).

Monstermunch67 · 24/12/2021 19:42

Thank you everyone, from the bottom of my not quite so empty wallet. Not only were all the savings utterly epic but the wealth of gift ideas has been priceless.

Merry Christmas and a healthy and happy New Year to you all xx

clpsmum · 24/12/2021 20:32

Merry Christmas everyone. Thanks for the chat and the bargains you've been a highlight in a really bad year xxxx
