My 24th Nov order only arrived today

@livinginhope87 I'll send you a PM

Ffs M&S so over your 12 sodding gifts of Christmas! Apart from the free shortbread (which DS has eaten...) all I've had is money off shite I don't want. Bring back Gary!! 😂 Better than 30% off Samsung masquerading as todays 'gift'.

@oatmilkisntsobad Mum wanted Estée Lauder Pleasures perfume for Christmas so I searched for ‘pleasures’ on the Boot’s website. I was a bit surprised to see what came up!

@jocktamsonsbairn it’s not even 30% it’s 29% 🤣🤣

Heads up that Honestly Eco is the same company that was The Little Eco shop last year. Not sure if I was the only one who had issues but they repeatedly sent me wrong item and communication was awful. They eventually refunded. They then randomly started trading as The Little Echo shop (the cynic in me says to distance themselves from poor reviews!) and have obviously now rebranded again. Hoping they genuinely had teetjing troubles last year and have learnt from those mistakes 🤞

Feel it’s only fair to do a quick Dunelm update:

I got a phone call this afternoon apologising for the service and offering me a voucher as a gesture of goodwill.

It was either because I emailed the ‘CEO’, I know it doesn’t go to them but seems to get results, or maybe they’re monitoring mumsnet! Either way, still disappointed as I don’t have the items I wanted but better than the previous experience. Worth emailing the CEO if you’re having problems, same with Argos, had an issue with them last Christmas. Now just have to sort out The Range - don’t ask!

I think the M&S advent is quite poor - so far nothing that would entice me to go out of my way to go into an M&S.

Revolution have got lots of nice sets reduced on their website www.revolutionbeauty.com/uk/en/up-to-70pct-off-christmas-gifts

@TherebytheGraceofGodgoI 🤣🤣🤣

It’s not even 29%, it’s ‘up to’ 29% 🤣

In other news, my Smashed Grapes order has arrived, looking forward to trying it very soon 👏👏

The Bodleian's online shop has some lovely unusual presents and some great stocking fillers in the sale. Had to be v restrained as I wanted so much of it!

Degusta subscription or box

I've had one delivery from honestly eco via Evri but the other one was attempted on a Sunday afternoon then they didn't bother again... I guess not honestly eco's fault but annoying. I contacted them and they said they would resend if I didn't get an evri update today...

I saw someone today who's had a chri stmas afternoon tea on a London tour bus. A few themes.a few locations.all times.it looked really good and she was facing about it.
Also very catered menu for all diets.
Just another to add yo anyone's list if they are stuckfor a present.

I am starting to miss Garry this year !
He did make me smile !

10 mins to go 😅

Ffs so even the 30% off was a fix!! 😂

But yes I am missing Gary!! I would actually be so excited to get a Gary ticket and would be tempted to travel those elusive 500 miles to see him to avoid 5% off a turnip or whatever 'gift' they are going to present me with!

Yeah go on wowcher they do them in most cities. Nice way to see one!

@IDontKnowWhatYouMean ooh looking forward to my smashed grapes order arriving! Am sure it will make up for no sign of Mr Barlow warbling on this year!

I couldn’t not mention it.

I think it was this one.

15% off biscuits.

Nope !!!
Still not enticing me into your shop yet !

15% off M&S flowers and plants.

My M&S offer is 50% off shortbread if you buy a hot drink 🙄 how very specific and underwhelming!

I mistook it for a lipstick at first glance. That could have been awkward.

Lipstick was the first thing I saw as well !

am I the only one wondering why you would want a lipstick size ?
