@Rainbowshit Dusk have goose and duck 13.5 tog duvets in their sale. Winter20 takes an extra 20% off. I bought some goose pillows from them recently which I’m really impressed with for the price (I normally use white company).

Thanks!

@Cuwins & @WrappedInRed Thank you both, I'm such an advocate for second hand but there's nothing within 50 miles of me & things used on eBay seem to be selling for RRP😫
I haven't tried Vinted yet so fingers crossed!

M&S have some Emma Bridgwater bits in their sale at good prices - some 50% off.

Sallylovesdaisy · 03/01/2023 22:11

Got some nice bits from Wilko today. A bag of 25 gold bows for 10p, lovely little red wooden decorations 40p each, gold ribbon, and tiny little bows but not sure how much they were. Got such a lot for £4! Well pleased with my haul 😀

@LuckyTigress thanks for the Dusk tip. The sale seems great value.

I don't suppose anyone has a couple of spare Cadbury's 241 vouchers please? I diligently cut out the coupons and put them on the fridge, I've just gone to redeem them and I need the barcode off the packet 🙄

Sorry I don’t have any but just wanted to sympathise as I did the same with the 6 selection boxes my kids got. Spend a while reading instructions too and decided just needed the front code so cut out to dispose of the rest of plastic/card waste and safe space. Tried to redeem one code yesterday and none are valid as didn’t safe barcode also 😫Not sure it was obviously and don’t think we’ll be alone in this. Arrgg

Quick shout out to White Stuff who not only have some good reductions on shoes and boots in their sale, but miraculously do free click and collect, THAT ARRIVES THE VERY NEXT DAY. Are they the only retailer in Britain able to perform this magic? Everyone else seems now to be delivering in weeks or months.

Lakeland ordered at 8pm on Monday and arrived this morning which given Monday was a bank holiday is basically next day.
Also Amazon prime ordered at the same time and says being delivered today.

Thank you @alltheevennumbers you've reminded me I have an order to collect 😳

The smashed grapes cheese and wine set finally arrived and the cheese looks like it’s been in the post for a month. I’d got a refund for it before Christmas. Might risk trying the wine although I’m guessing it’ll be vinegar by now. Such a pity for the company that their parcels haven’t been delivered on time.

I have several selection boxes with the offer on them but you will have to explain to me exactly what you want off them as I've never done it before and I'm not very bright 😂

Try these barcodes

7 622201 425982
7 622201 799571
7 622201 424350

The barcodes are the same on several packets so should hopefully work for you 🤞🏼

Fuckingfuckssake · 04/01/2023 14:25

Thank you @boobybum and @mickandrorty but @onlyherefotthechristmasthreads beat you to it and pm'd me a couple earlier, maybe these would be used for someone else?

I've raised a PayPal dispute on this one. That company is shoddy as hell!

CarrotCarrotCucumber · 04/01/2023 14:52

Does anyone know if Chilly’s ever have a sale please? I’m looking for a small flask for soup and most food flasks are too big, most coffee cups not secure or insulated enough: theirs tick all the boxes but they’re pricy!

KittenCatt · 04/01/2023 15:14

@CarrotCarrotCucumber Try TK Maxx, they often stock Chilly’s :)

Someaddedsugar · 04/01/2023 15:58

I managed to use my smashed grapes voucher to order two bottles of wine pre-Christmas but no sign of them. Has anyone had theirs arrive?

InfinityOrUndefined · 04/01/2023 16:08

I ordered two bottles of wine from smashed grapes with voucher but no sign of them either.

My Lush parcel arrived and dd is very happy. Their bath bombs are the best and I only order them from Xmas sales.

Allthechocolates · 04/01/2023 17:19

Still waiting on a reply from smashed grapes re the disabled gift voucher. Noticed they have a Facebook page where they have uploaded a video a few days ago. Apparently they are inundated with angry customers and will take some time to reply to everyone but will do so, "hopefully in the next few weeks". Will keep you all posted. Just want to use my voucher!

mumonthehill · 04/01/2023 17:48

I used my smashed grapes voucher per christmas and have emailed for an update but had nothing from them. Very frustrating

Allthechocolates · 04/01/2023 18:03

It's a shame because the site looks fab and had so much potential for future gifts. On their Facebook video they did mention codes being shared on Mumsnet as being part of the problem...

On a different note M&S has 70% off Christmas foods. Cakes from £7.50 down to £1.75 for example. Got a large Christmas pudding wreath £3 from £12 with a July 2023 date. Good prices if that's your thing! Anyone know when the clothes go down to 70 %?

MaskedFan · 04/01/2023 19:10

Anyone waiting on poundtoy from previous Christmas threads? It's on watchdog now

They should have ended the codes then, if they felt they were over-used! No sympathy.

Didn't say I disagree with you! :)

I was thinking to get SIL the wine testing kit as a birthday gift next autumn. I hope they continue their business.
