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.

Does anyone know if Oliver Bonas ever have discount codes please?

@vivainsomnia

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.

Well it has now 🤣🤣

I have been following the posts but now could do with some help please. I have 3 dgc and the youngest is a 4 year old boy. Compared to the older 2 his gift sack looks small despite having spent roughly the same. Can anyone suggest a gift to bulk it out please for £20 or less.
Thanks for any suggestions

Campervan suggestion - one of them tennis raquet insect zappers. Good for wasp season. Or one of those electric mosquito killers. the RAnge are settling a mini one for £15. Or a can of Midge spray for people.

(sounds like I am terrible bug murderer but they can really ruin a camping trip)

VeruccaSalty · 16/12/2021 12:23

And I missed a couple of threads too, what's the most recent squishmallow update? I think my youngest would like an animal one.

A big stuffed animal? A fleece onesie or similar? Or a few smaller bits like bath fizzers and lego. Aldi have really cute book/tablet holders in - my DS4 is getting the blue dinosaur one.

Does anyone ever have trouble ordering from Claires online? It just keeps taking me back to the checkout page - won't take me to paypal and won't let me pay by card, just takes me back to the beginning Hmm

PinkJam · 16/12/2021 13:09

I placed an order with Sensory Education (though the website name is cheap disability aids?) but I ordered start of December and it hasn’t even been dispatched yet. Sent them an email and had a response saying they are chasing it with the delivery company?! But it’s not been dispatched so why are they doing that?

Have tried to ring them a few times yesterday and just get an automated message. No one is answering the calls. Think it might be a scam so going to contact credit card company and cancel the payment.

Has anyone used them before?

VeruccaSalty · 16/12/2021 13:22

@Cantdecidewhich what about a sledge from Decathlon? is rather weather dependent, i admit

sledge

Martinisarebetterdirty · 16/12/2021 13:30

@PinkJam I’d contact your bank, looks to be a scam from Trust Pilot. So sorry Sad

PinkJam · 16/12/2021 13:33

@Martinisarebetterdirty Thank you, I’ll contact them now.

Mipe · 16/12/2021 13:34

@RainbowPhilosophy yes I did actually email them to complain and ask for a refund (after the courier said my parcel was in Poland), the message I got about the refund looked generic but I would say it’s worth sending them an email!

dancemom · 16/12/2021 13:58

So my Fossill delivery which went AWOL and was supposed to be reissued has just been refunded to me 🙄

Anyone know where I can get a lovely leather wallet in time for Christmas??

lifelongfrugaleer · 16/12/2021 14:33

Thanks for the whiskey suggestions

Oh no, what about Celtic and co. They have a £20 off code too. I bought the mock croc one and it’s lovely

PinkJam not a website I’ve used but I’m sure I remember reading something about them in the SN section. I think it was a warning to steer clear - sorry!

dancemom · 16/12/2021 14:41

Thanks @CeeceeBloomingdale

PinkJam · 16/12/2021 15:47

@boobybum Thank you. Credit card company said I need to contact them again in another week and they will put in a chargeback. Lesson learnt for me.

RainbowPhilosophy · 16/12/2021 16:04

Thanks @Mipe, I've sent a complaint in but who knows what response I'll get!

PinkDaydreams · 16/12/2021 16:35

I'm so shocked at that website!! I thought ityped recognised the name so typed it into my browser and it came up as a site I'd already looked at. I had no idea it was dodgy, I hope you get your money back 🤞

Martinisarebetterdirty · 16/12/2021 18:08

I think someone was looking for an H and M code? Sale preview for members (free to join) has started

noodledoodler · 16/12/2021 18:21

My look fantastic boxes arrived today, even with the relaxed delivery I opted for the delivery took quite a while but I am really pleased with the contents, it worked out as about a pound for each item.

2319inprogress · 16/12/2021 18:30

Well my 16th November Flying Tiger finally arrived and a finally got a response to my email - they have refunded! All on the same dayConfused

So yay for free stuff but I don't think I would order again....

My other lost package is a mug from Etsy & the seller isn't responding Sad
