I got one from work and had no issues spending it in curry's either. Was really surprised to hear people so dead against them

DH and I were given one each during the first lockdown. We wanted to use them online, but found that retailers won't allow you to use more than one per transaction online, so we couldn't buy the household item we wanted. When DH and I felt comfortable to go back into a shop we tried to use them, but discovered that if they are not used within a certain time, they deduct a monthly admin fee from the available balance. We were left with a ridiculously small amount that was less than the cost of petrol and parking to get to the store. I consider them a swizz and would never, ever buy them for anyone.

Any ideas for a train/car/vehicle obsessed 3 year old boy who seems to have every associated toy under the sun already? Already have trackmaster, hot wheels, brio and many many assorted wheeled things, plenty of books on the topics etc. In fact it feels like between him and his siblings they already have every toy imaginable! Can't do an experience based gift for various reasons. Any help is gratefully appreciated thank you!

My kids loved this car carrier at that age

car carrier

Seems very expensive though.

This is cheaper and has magnets but doesn’t look as fun as the 6 car version and doesn’t have a ramp for him to roll the cars up which is what amused mine so much

@APotatoFlewAcrossTheRoomLastNightExcuseTheMess brilliant glad I could help.
Also I think you must have the longest user name I've seen Grin

Cuwins · 21/11/2022 19:59

@Erictheavocado fair enough.
I didn't attempt to use mine online and used it within about a week of being given it so a very different experience

oriel2013 · 21/11/2022 20:04

I'm very late looking the thread today and have just caught up with 10 pages! If there's anyone with a sack code left I'd be very grateful.

Anyone else's Uggs order showing as out of stock on their account? I've had no notification from them.

Restlessinthenorth · 21/11/2022 20:12

My uggs arrived today. Hope those without them receive them soon. Absolute bargain

Itsfridaynightok · 21/11/2022 20:21

I ordered 4 pairs of the Ugg slippers then had an email to say one pair was out of stock and I would be refunded. I did get a different colour when I went back on and re ordered a bit annoying as I had to pay delivery on the second order!

*LunaCrystal
Just incase anyone needs a Harry Potter Lego Advent Calendar

Slightly annoying as I bought this a couple of weeks ago for £24 🙈 just been on live chat to see if they’d refund the difference but they were having none of it!!*

Do people really try to get money of something that wasn't reduced when they bought it? I got my dd I bed from Argos in September it was reduced by £200 the week after. Just tough luck no?

If it wasn’t Amazon I probably wouldn’t have, but you do often hear of them issuing refunds on things like this 🤷‍♀️ Thought it was worth a try lol
But yes, really it is just bad luck!! & not the end of the world

And it would be basically be the equivalent of me returning the first one & buying again at the cheaper price, without the hassle for them of processing the return (or for me 😂)

Can anyone share a Sack code / PM me one please? The website kept on crashing so mine no longer works - either they've reached the limit or it thinks my code has already been used!

I just recieved this email from candy kittens

Just received this too and a response to my email asking when I am likely to receive my order that I placed 10th November.
'We hope to have it with you by 1st December'

Do you still need a code?

Montanna15 · 21/11/2022 20:47

@40goingon30 I hope it comes before the 1st as I wanted to gift the advent calender !

FlamingJingleBells · 21/11/2022 20:51

I got a delivery notification for my Baked in Christmas Eve hamper today so fingers crossed it arrives.

MarchSurprise · 21/11/2022 20:52

If anybody has a spare Vodafone code I would really really appreciate a PM please. Tried a few times tonight with the kind people who have shared codes but not being quick enough. Hopeful stilll 🤞🏻

Amazonmulu · 21/11/2022 20:56

Does anyone happen to have a Dibor code? 🤞🏻

princesssugarplumfairy · 21/11/2022 21:03

Not sure if it's already been mentioned but Xbox series s is currently £189 if you buy through the Microsoft store with 1.5% Quidco. £60 off the usual price so I got a controller for £35 too.

LostMyLovelyLlama · 21/11/2022 21:05

If anyone has a spare vodaphone code - please could you PM me - I'd be super grateful
Tried twice today - but got kicked out of website once - and when my turn came for second try I was on the school run
Keen to try again 🙂

VeruccaSalty · 21/11/2022 21:10

Did someone mention earlier that you can get an extra £5 off Amazon if you start a gift list or something?

Chocolateteabag · 21/11/2022 21:13

@lovelychops - there is an Air Up referral on the Referrals thread (#5) - not mine but saw it and it's better than the 15% they give you for birthdays

IDontDrinkTea · 21/11/2022 21:14

If anyone can PM me a sack code id be grateful 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Itsfridaynightok · 21/11/2022 21:21

Any Argos codes about ? Thanks

Bryna · 21/11/2022 21:22

I have a couple of duplicate YOTO CARDS -
Famous Five run away together and Five go to smugglers top, they are in slip sleeves, rather than sealed packets, I’m happy to send them to whoever can make use of them.
