Thread 9 - the one where we have (wax) meltdowns

[FireflyGirl]

We're up to 997 on the other thread so creating a place holder @Reastie.

As posted on the previous thread, TopCashback are offering £2 cashback on a £5+ spend.

I’ve just seen this - 30% off at Joanie clothing until 13th November - code is TREAT30 xx

6% Cashback on TopCashback too!

@TreesandRug - that looks like a really lovely book. Recipient is not a reader (in any way, shape or form) and would be quite put off by a book. He really loves taking things apart and tinkering around, but very much on his own terms - not what a book/instructions tell him to do. Does that make sense?

I really appreciate all the suggestions and ideas. Such a lovely thread full of lovely people

@unicornwonders it told me I would get £5 for signing up , it did take a few days to come through, but then when it did they credited my account with 2 £5 vouchers , not sure why , but someone else here mentioned they got the same extra bonus .

Thanks @MadeForThis

@Ilovepugs2017 - I see that the slightly sewn up pockets are a feature on the actual Oodie site too.

I think mine must be the old styling with the huge rectangular pocket, which might explain why it was on everything 5pounds even though it’s perfect. (Unless the large rectangular rather than diagonal pocket is a fault, but I don’t think so.)

I am tempted to order the panda for DH but he would get it filthy within five minutes of wearing!

Put the wax melts/burners in my boots basket…but I don’t need them🙃

Those of you who are considering buying the possible oodies from TrueFace on Amazon The same company also sells them on Ebay and they are cheaper, I've ordered 2 Rick and Morty ones, so I'll let you know if they are real when they arrive.

Couple of things to remember, if it says 'thin' in the name/colour it is definitely not an Oodie.
If in doubt try to buy patterns that are on the genuine oodie website.

Thanks @XmasShoppingsister

@Ilovepugs2017 Embarrassingly I have just realised that my Oodie also has partly sewn pockets- I wouldn’t mind, but I am actually wearing it and didn’t notice 🙈

On an unrelated note: Does anyone think Lakeland might have another big money off offer for BF? I am so annoyed at not ordering hampers when I found/should have done!

@PopcornAndGummyBears DS has had this smart house kit last year and really enjoyed it. I’m not sure if it’s a bit too much though at £39.99

Annoyingly it’s £29.99 but OOS on Wicked Uncle where we bought it from.

https://shop.natgeokids.co.uk/product/smartlab-archi-tech-electronic-smart-house/

I find Wicked Uncle are great for geeky/tech type sets though so if this is no good maybe there will be something else there for him.

Mine have standard sized stockings too! I think it's good....it sets a limit on how much stuff I can be tempted to order 🤣.

@ThreeRingCircus See I thought this, it would limit the spending and make it special. But I can never fit in what I've bought!

@PurpleSkittle The ulster weavers code was only valid for 7 days and for full priced tea towels only.

Snap! There's 'spilled ' out things all around them!🤣

Looking for a nice hoodie or tshirt for DS17s birthday on Monday. Have just realised I have v little to give him (main present money for driving lessons)! Any good discounts on brands like Vans/ North Face/ Nike/ Urban Outfitters? He likes things that are a bit different...

Thankyou on the hunt now!

Code is still working though. I just checked out a basket of 11 tea towels for £30.80 including free shipping.

Any hamper bargains around? Budget up to £100.

Usually just lurk but had to share. Just bought this for my mum there’s a 45% off voucher so it was £38.69

@Dee1224 I hadn’t long got home and put the oodie straight in the wash and then remembered I was meant to take a photo of the pocket 🙈🫣 will take one when it’s finished washing

This thread moves soooo quickly! Does anyone have a Argos code?

Also following up on suggestion of Lego NY Postcard from a PP earlier. Cheapest from Lego store itself, but object to £4 P&P for a £13.50 item. I would go into store, but I'm in bed with ruddy Covid. Any way of free/ reduced postage anyone knows of?

In my search found this Groot. It's excellent- we got it last year- bigger than anticipated & really nice. Cheapest I've seen it. £33.99 down from £44.99. It was as high as £55 last year.

John Lewis/Waitrose are doing £10 off a £75+ spend hamper with code MYHAMPER10

Perfect, thank you! I have a £10 off reward for JL too.

I’ve got an offer in my John Lewis membership- something like £10 off £75 on hampers- so not mega bargainous & presumably account specific too

Ah sorry should have RTFT 🤦‍♀️

Thank you anyway 😊
