@lazzaroo Hopefully they’ll do something

Can anyone who has washed their 5 pound shop hooded blankets tell me how they look after washing please?

Also what the best way to wash them is? I don’t want to ruin the ones I bought for the children but do need to wash them before being used. Thanks

@Serenitesanta I know you wanted a fill your own one but the shoot calendar is quite good. It's huge and each day you get a mini book of football facts etc.

@Irritatedmum Thank you I'm unsure of spending the normal price and it not be an authentic pandora. And if I get a dupe and it doesn't fit 🤦‍♀️ I'll keep reading the reviews thankyou

Thanks for the HC wreath mention, used my £7 off pickup voucher so cost around £13. Been stressing about gifts with little to no money so this has been a huge help sorting a present for my mum, thank you.

Thank you!!!!
Shoot ordered 🧑🏻‍🎄⚽️😇
How did I do Christmas before these threads!! I’ve been here since the first year, in different names, one of my favourite parts of getting ready for Christmas 😍

Tesco have 20% off some gift cards
Also Costco have build a bear gift cards. 4 £25 cards for £80. Good if you have a few to get for

Ordered the HC wreath after all. Used £7 voucher too. Absolute bargain!

@robstersgirl you could look on shein for killstar style clothes on a budget. I've just bought an ace red and black stripe distressed style jumper from shein, it came in a few days and it's perfect. Just as pictured. I'd been eyeing them up on sites like killstar and disturbia but couldn't justify their prices. Shein do lots of styles of clothing, goth included. 🖤

With shein just read the sizings info carefully, and check the reviews for both the item (most will have photo reviews too) and the seller reviews. I'll only buy if there's very good seller and item reviews and a good few photos too.

Thanks @LunaCrystal
Ordered!
I will split it as little gifts for ME niece , D's,s gf and ohh ...ME 😂

Thanks to whoever mentioned top cash back .

I keep forgetting to check for cash back or go through them.

Hopefully it will soon become an automatic thing to do .

Me again, looking for a good deal on Fimo or alternative please?

I have seen the HC Christmas wreath .....

I do not need more chocolate....I do not need more chocolate....I do not need more chocolate....

Oops !

I now have more chocolate on its way 😂

For anyone still waiting for yheir Candy Kittens orders, I just got the following response:

"Thanks for your message. We're experiencing a very high volume of queries at the moment due to a recent leaked promotional code by our founder, Jamie. If you were one of the thousands that managed to nab the discount before it was turned off, lucky you! Due to this volume we're experiencing a backlog with our orders, but our warehouse and customer support team are working around the clock to get your orders out and respond to your messages. Please bear with us as we work through them all. All SOPHIE50 orders will be dispatched by the end of this week (Sunday 27th November) to arrive on or before the 1st December. We're very sorry for the delay.

You will hear back from one of our customer support agents shortly, but our response time is currently up to 4 working days."

Still pretending it was a leak rather than viral marketing 🙄

Re top cash back ...
Does it only show on your account when the money for paying for something lactually leaves your bank account?

Did a body shop earlier and this Philip Jones,,, and not showing .

Hope I did not mess up .

Another poster has asked for a free delivery code for the disney store, I don't suppose anyone has come across one please as I'm also looking for one.

Has the wreath gone? I looked and can only find one for £70+!

Looks like it. I had one in my basket and gone now

@pinkchampagne1 i received mine that I ordered through Look Fantastic. Looks like I was lucky

I’ve jumped on between cooking and doing packed lunches to share a online brownie/cookie site that I’ve used for gifts in the past.

It’s Arrival Cookies and they’ve got an early bird deal on everything. You get BOGOF with the code BOGOF.

I’ve placed an order for some early December birthdays and also for myself for the Christmas period that I’ll stick in the freezer. Not had any complaints taste wise from my family members.

Could someone link to this please?! I can’t find it anywhere and sounds like it would be perfect for my in-laws

@LeatherJacketWedding looks like it's finished and they have sold out (was on Amazon)

I’m late to this thread but wondering if anyone can help…

Money is tight this year but really trying not change my girls Christmas. Middle DD has asked for an Apple Watch and just wondering if anyone has seen any early Black Friday deals? Also if bought a refurbished one which would be the best kind of model to go for?

Thank you @Flubadubba. I always seen to miss out on the best bargains. Nay mind

This might be suitable sorry about the link (must learn how to do it properly)

Absolutely thrilled with my hot diamonds delivery, thank you to whoever posted the deal. I got to it late so didn't get a sale piece but I did get a very personal and gorgeous piece for an approaching teen for £3! It will be their first piece of proper jewellery so I'm sure it will go down well. Would definitely recommend
