@ScarierThanBoo thanks for the title. Hope your slappers keep you lovely and warm and cushion your feet through the winter Xmas Grin

My DM needs to post a gift to her friend who can no longer visit in person. So postable but decent. Around £20. Person likes cooking and coffee but can’t seem to find anything suitable - any ideas?

OMG !
I feel like I have just entered the wardrobe leading to Narnia !

I stupidly put a friend's birthday present in the Christmas present storage in a section of my wardrobe .
Obviously...the box was at the bottom 🤣

I have had to take stuff out and found things I absolutely do no remember buying .

And now I can't get everything back in as neatly.

Time for wrapping soon I think .

And then just store in black bags .

I am so 3xcuted of the silly things I have bought the DC 's for their stockings that I forgot about .

Just over an hour to go to see if M&S give me a nice freebee to help with the wrapping.

I would t bank on M&S.... 15% off overpriced poncey cheese today!! Pffft ! I only want a bag of fecking pigs!!!

Is there anyway of getting free delivery for JD does anyone know please? They have a retro shirt DH would love but they never seem to have anything I want as a click and collect option and I really don't want to pay 4 quid delivery.

Use a 20% off code and that should hopefully offset P&P

Except the wrapping paper hasn't arrived yet !

I'm the same 'Did I buy that?' . My excuse was that the eco tape hasn't arrived- but it arrived today!

bizzey · 08/12/2022 00:31

20% off Jaegar wasn't what I was hoping for my birthday today 🤣.

They have so much of my data ...
You would have thought they could have given me free GIN today!

Amazon have reduced some good kids books. Search in books under 'deals'. Guess How Much I Love You is a bargain at £1.48! And some good Christmas books such as 'Dasher', 'Pick A Pine Tree' and 'Dear Santa' for around £3-4

I looked at those retro shirts because ds is getting several for Xmas. Luckily none of the ones I've spent a fortune on were reduced but wtf did I even look? Just to torture myself?

Yup!

The only thing that kept me from pressing buy was that there's loads of England ones- not that popular in this house 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😀

thaegumathteth · 08/12/2022 01:30

@Puffalicious same . That's why none of the ones I bought were there! All scotland

Has anyone got their scrawlr box order? It worried it is a scam. I ordered weeks ago, didnt hear anything. Waa then told one of my boxes was sold out, I replied immediately to that and still haven't heard.

They are christmas presents for SIL, so annoyed..

I had all 4 of mine delivered last week. X

VelvetThunder · 08/12/2022 05:43

I ordered scawlrbox on the last sale too and mine arrived at the weekend. So sad I was only able to order 1 box! The code seemed to stop after I made my first order 😔 wanted 2 more for presents really, but very happy with what I received.

Some Waitrose choc discounts enticing me into store

Spice Tailor curry kits are really good. The have sets of six for £18.90 on their website, but you may well find them cheaper in super markets. They have all the spices in little packs and even coconut milk is included if required, very tasty 😋 would be easy to make up a little gift set too.

@WhatICallMyUsername I emailed SG , but when I got the we are very busy reply did the PayPal claim under goods not received, just explained they had sent a voucher rather than refund for an order they could not honour. PayPal said it would take up to 30 days , but case closed in my favour overnight and refund will be back on my card in 7 days . To be honest just seemed easier than having to remember to chase it with SG over Christmas.

newnamenewmane · 08/12/2022 06:30

Apologies I've just realised in days out of the loop and a jigsaw has been suggested lots!!

MerylSqueak · 08/12/2022 06:44

Can anyone find me a miniature set of aftershaves! My DS has asked for aftershave but he doesn’t know which one, I can only see ones from the same brand like Versace rather than a mix, or does this not exist!

I used my perfume society last year for my ds and got him a discovery box. I just ordered 1 kit I didn’t get a subscription or anything. They have a few different ones.
