Evening all

They never charged me - i think they charge on dispatch.

I do t think you are supposed to post seeds in case you are spreading plant diseases, you aren’t allowed them through custom.

I haven’t received my pack of 4 mystery boxes. I emailed them and they said they are waiting on stock and did I want a refund or was I happy to wait. I said I was happy to wait so I guess they will get here when they have some more stock.

For anyone who is putting together their own advent calendars these might be of interest

Advent boxes

I’ve just contacted them and told the same. Told her it was terrible customer service and I wanted a refund(to be honest I don’t even know if they have charged me yet😀)

QVC is good to try for deals on Shark. I got one half price as a TSV back in June.

Would this be of use to you? It's for the lighter handheld vaccum

Omg am sorry, that was supposed to be a reply for @Worrywortlady

A beauty box one -

I'd you use code 67BEAUTYBOX on the ok magazine box it's £7.50. Be sure to cancel afterwards though otherwise your in a monthly subscription.

Products this month are quite nice for a young teen (especially if like mine she suffers from occasional dandruff as there's a nice shampoo and conditioner ).

Sometimes on way to Checkout a box pops up to get it for a fiver.

I am very naughty and create a new email address every year to get one at this price

Argos currently have lots of price reductions on toys.

Also (talking of Argos) if you haven't already done so see if you can sign up for Airtime rewards as you collect £ which you redeem against your monthly phone bill

Going to post my referral code on the promo code board now if anyone wants to use it to get a few bonus pennies too

@WetFlump thank you for alerting me to the M&S 50% off sale.

Nearly three hours later it’s still tempting me with bargains ,but not allowing me to click on a size and add anything to my basket. That’s using Safari on my tablet.

When I go to use the M&S app on my phone it works as usual and I was able to buy the same items that way.

Boots No.7 are very nice and inexpensive for starter makeup. I spoke to the lady at the counter and she had some great recommendations

Ah sorry - just seen you said AGE 7 not Year 7 (which was what I read!). Ignore me!

Boots No7 are also great for stacking offers - I've used 3 for 2 with those -£5 off vouchers you often get. Recently I even still got the free gift as my spend before all discounts was the qualifying amount.

Really worth looking out for

I got my dd a technic case with make up a while ago it had a couple of different bits of everything she just replaces some of the makeup as it runs out and keeps the case helps keep it all in on place think it was 15 pounds but well worth it

@tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz thanks for the Ok beauty box. I treated myself to it. I’ve wanted a heated eye mask for a while and the shampoo and conditioner looks good. I got a free Perricone md serum too.

Excellent! DONT FORGET TO CANCEL!!

do I need to wait until I receive the first box?

I can't remember however my rule of thumb with these is wait till I have the box in my hand then cancel immediately. Always fine as once you've put that order through and therefore set up your subscription it starts the billing cycle ready in theory for your next months box

@PlanBea @PuddlesPityParty
thank you for offering another code and advice but another lovely MNetter messaged me with one so I’m all sorted 🙂

My free pair of boxer shirts from On that Ass have now arrived

They feel pretty okay quality - not maybe as soft as Joules ones so not sure if I'll keep the subscription but the print is very clear and fine for a free stocking filler

I've updated my link in the referral thread - (gives me some credits for stuff from their website)

You sign up for the subscription but you have time to cancel once they've arrived

I ordered last week - boxers arrived from the Netherlands today (21st) and I've got til the 27th to cancel

I got these free boxers last year for DS, after I cancelled they sent a further link to get free ones several months later, he now has 3 pairs which I’ve paid absolutely nothing for. Keep an eye out for emails… 😃

The Spicery currently have 20% off their curry advent calendar. A Cracking Curry Christmas Gift box (thespicery.com)

DH loved his last year and will be getting this years as an early present.

If its your first time there you can get another 10% off using a referral link (mine is in the referral thread and use is much appreciated x)

I’ve just ordered a free trail pair. I MUST remember to cancel - is it straightforward?
They will be a stocking gift but if they turn out to be comfy then I will subscribe. Thanks for posting 👍
