It's early September and we're already on thread 3 - wonder how many threads we'll get to this year! Any bets? Mine is 29!

@Squ1ggle This bag from JL is in my basket at the mo. Love the design and a great price. It’s faux leather, but looks real

Ooh I'll look, thanks

@Squ1ggle take a look on asos there's loads in the clearance section. I prefer a "camera" cross body bag myself and have far too many. House of fraser usually has some good designer reductions too! I've got a few ollie and nic and they are good for the price but don't last too long I've found. Lisa angel has some reasonably priced too and some can be personalised with initials

I just sent an email to Thrift.
I ordered 9 days ago and haven’t even had an email to say ‘there will be a delay’.

Looking for lego 41704 main street building. Absolutely kicking myself that I missed it at costco for £89. If anyone knows of any stackable deals elsewhere? ideally it needs to be under £100. John lewis has it at the highest price at £140 so sadly even with their loyalty card discount it is still £110

@coffeetofunction re the den building kit - could you assemble your own with some rope, bungy cords, cable ties, a sheet or tarpaulin.some garden canes, some bunting/flags, a sign that they could decorate (piece of wood with a rope hanger for instance), a groundsheet and some cheap fleece blankets/cushions for seating?

For DGMiL - would she like eg a bird table/ window feeder positioned somewhere she could watch the birds, as she's largely home bound?

Givealittlebit · 07/09/2022 22:24

Urgh I'd forgotten about the Royal Mail strikes, I have a few things I'm waiting on!

Crimsonbow · 07/09/2022 22:30

Thanks @WhyDoesItAlways for the Spicery link, I've ordered the taco kit. I got DH their 12 curries of Christmas advent calendar last year, great concept and the few dishes we had were great but then we've just forgotten about the others. Will have to dig them out!

Thank you for taking the time to find that! I just don't feel comfortable with applying for credit and then remembering to cancel or the hassle of cancelling. Its so annoying there isn't a code I can use, pay and be done with

20% off selected beauty products with code FLASH including some beauty boxes

If anyone can recommend any large floor cushions or beanbags I'd be very grateful... I'm trying to think of ways to make the DCs a 'den' so we can stay cosy in winter and make it seem like fun Confused

Just another voice to say please don't buy people those "Use in 100's of retailers" vouchers.

They make it so restrictive about using some online, some instore, some can't be a partial spend, loads of retailers have trouble cashing them. Honestly, it's a deliberate business ploy, because they are typically low-ish value, and people end up thinking, I literally can't be arsed to find a way to spend this utterly impossible £15, the voucher goes discarded in a drawer, and expires. Voila, they've got your money. All the £15s add up for them.

I've never ever used one of these vouchers we've been given. It's such a waste. I've never found anything we wanted to buy with one, without costing me money to put towards it. So I wait till I need something and then it's expired. I really dislike them.

@KindleAndCake please could you post a link to your hoodies,they’re lovely. Also how much were they, .I can’t see anything similar on their website.

FireflyGirl · 08/09/2022 05:39

Free delivery at Disney Shop today only with code DISNEYPLUS.

They have quite a few items in the clearance section, mostly clothes and badges.

Not a bargain as such but for anyone needing to get more of the high end beauty products SpaceNK have a discount code Tayla20 which gives 20% off across everything on their site.

My husband wears Tom Ford aftershave and I’ve rarely seen a discount code that works on it.

My daughter wants a new bike for Christmas, does anybody know when Halfords start there Christmas club, when you can put a deposit down on a bike?

KindleAndCake · 08/09/2022 06:44

@Autumnleaves4 www.dunnesstores.com/p/adults-hooded-blanket/7566100 here's the link to the blanket hoodies. They're an Irish company, but they deliver to the UK. They were £17 each.

@Squ1ggle I picked up this leather camera bag for £20 the other day. Price has jumped up to £60 and they now have 20% off that but you can add things to your wishlist and go back and check prices as they can vary a lot on Asos.

Ah I had seen that one but was a bit too expensive. Gutted I missed the lower price, I'll keep an eye and hope it drops again in the next few days. Thank you
