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.

Not sure if still works but NCM2650 gives you £5 off Gruum - no min spend.
JCK579 is the £3.49 credit code for Hype if anyone can make use of it

@beadyboo I bought these this year. The fire pit was from a recommendation on one of these bargain threads, bought it for DH birthday and it works a treat.

Things I keep stocked in the van are games/puzzles/books for rainy afternoons or dark evenings, Fairy lights, Warm blankets, good binoculars (stargazing or bird watching).

Thanks for the new thread. I’m done, all wrapped and I’ve even written out and sent some Christmas cards. Only the fresh food shop to do.

clpsmum · 15/12/2021 22:05

Think I'm all done too unless any too good to miss bargains pop up on here. Now for the dreaded wrapping!

NaturalBlondeYeahRight · 15/12/2021 22:18

I’ve only got half of my lookfantastic order, Ben though it says both have been delivered. I know you all said they had been rubbish but I’ve never had any issues before. Email sent but I’m not feeling hopeful.

SleighbellsAndHollyberries · 15/12/2021 23:16

Thanks for the thread @Reastie Help! Do any of you lovely folk know of a code for Oliver Bonas please?

@Twonka

Could I get a recommendation for a 13YO boy please, around £10 or thereabouts xx
Nice pack of mixed sweets - I've got the Xmas mix but some out . This one also allows good treatboxxconfectionery.co.uk/collections/pre-mixed-pouches/products/mixed-mystery-pouch?variant=35716815519909

Anyone got their Flying Tiger tracking number to even work? FedEx tracking never works for me. Not feeling hopeful as I ordered on 3/12 but it was a perfect gift for the overseas student DH's parents are hosting for Xmas hols. I had a weird email from them yesterday saying it had been released from customs in Germany 🤔 and would be with me in 4-5 working days...cutting it a bit close!

mrs12345 · 15/12/2021 23:20

Sorry terrible predictive text !!! Xmas mix 'sold out ' but another one 'looks good' . 10% off if sign up as new customer too 😊

OytheBumbler · 15/12/2021 23:24

I made thread title!
I'm honoured but also embarrassed- I was so excited to pass on a bargain I didn't check my postBlush

Thank you for all the bargains this year, I'm 99% done and now in twitch modeXmas Grin

lonsdaleshorts · 16/12/2021 07:18

I’m done bar a couple of Amazon bits to order. Then again……,twitching!

lifelongfrugaleer · 16/12/2021 07:22

Ah didn’t realise we had a new thread I asked on the old.

I need a bottle of whiskey for the boss. About £50 not sure if they prefer single or double malt

squarecat · 16/12/2021 07:52

lifelongfrugaleer what about one of the English or Welsh ones for whisky, you can get Aber Falls from The Drop Shop or they have several others to choose from

doistayordoigo · 16/12/2021 08:07

@beadyboo Have they had a campervan before? If not, I'd recommend the books by a couple who have a blog called OurTour, available on Amazon. There's one that is a Touring Handbook which is great if you're new to the whole thing, and others focussing on their blog, Morocco, France etc. They're really readable and informative.

GirlWithTheYellowHat · 16/12/2021 08:53

Might be too late but the barbie food truck is down to £26 on Amazon

Anyone seen any snuggle hooded blankets? DH was getting me the M&S one for xmas but his order was cancelled as it’s out of stock.

RainbowPhilosophy · 16/12/2021 09:50

@Mipe

My Flying Tiger order turned up today and I also got the apology email saying they will refund the money Smile
I still haven't got my order or a refund! Did you complain or ask for a refund or did they just do it because of the appalling delivery time?

I can't believe this thread has evolved in discussing the Bible, Mary and Jesus to add validity to what you want to do.

Strange that a woman who fulfils her own destiny and isn’t sad or desperate is considered to have something wrong with her
What you seem to completely fail to appreciate is that the issue is not about you. You are free to do what you want. The problem is that you see your baby as an asset of yours, or extension. You can't seem to see that this baby will be an entity of its own, one who you can bet will one day, even as a child, judge your choices and how it affects them.

Stop thinking about your needs and consider those of the life you'd be creating.

WeeFae · 16/12/2021 10:02

Wrong thread??

AmberRoseGold · 16/12/2021 10:35

@RainbowPhilosophy no refund email here alas. Some of the things that arrived are pretty useless now as they were for beginning of December. Oh well, lesson learnt.

AmberRoseGold · 16/12/2021 10:36

@Annie1290 my order arrived 13 days after the “any moment now” email. Wishing you luck.

clpsmum · 16/12/2021 10:56

Does anyone have a code for Argos or game I could use?

IggyAce · 16/12/2021 11:28

@lifelongfrugaleer have a look at Redbreast, my dh likes whiskey and is currently considering buying a bottle if he can get it for the right price, it’s under £50.
