Thread 13 - the one with the loot from Black Friday | Mumsnet

13 - unlucky for some. Let's hope it's very lucky for us! I bought a couple of things in the Black Friday sales - an amazon stick (I'm pretty sure we...

@Beckafett Less gifty, but there's o keefes gardening hand care which is very highly rated if you're looking for consumables.

I have been on and off that Fossils site all evening!!

If you go via topcash back you get a code at the top of the screen to put in for new customers.

But every time I came back out of the site ..and went back in ...I had a new code !

I have a piece of paper next to me with loads of codes 😅!

Only work when you log in so no good to share.

I used the new customer code.
EXTRA10
TC15.

All stacked..

My mum doesn't know it yet ...but she has just bought me my birthday and Christmas presents !! 😅

A watch , a bracelet, a ring and a trio set of bracelets ....for £60 !

Missed a few threads to avoid the temptation to click but does anyone know how to get a code for m and m direct? Postage and a return label (fussy husband) is around £8 😭😭

Anybody suggest a nice dark rum, not spiced and obviously bargainous please

Not a massive bargain but I love this dark rum. It's not spicy at all.

@Beckafett

Lovely, thank you again
Reminded me I'm meant to take a pic of some animator dolls which I will do as soon as I can.
This is such a super kind thread and just what I need, thanks all xx

@Beckafett what about some nice earrings or a purse from Fossil? I just got the lovely Madison slim clutch purse for £17.55 delivered using the 15% off new customer code which I had sent to DH's e-mail alongside EXTRA10 and TC15. I also went through TCB for 24% cashback. You can't go wrong really and alongside the White Stuff sock calendar I reckon this is one of the best for bargains websites we've had this year. I agree with others though - dispatch is really slow - I rang today about an order I placed on Sunday that still hasn't dispatched. Shows how spoilt we are as I really expected to have received it by now but nope not even been sent yet. Also having the same problem with Body Shop with another order placed at the same time.

Excellent ideas thank you. As I said above I'm really into idea paralysis this years I just want my mum to feel appreciated and loved x

I shall investigate thank you!

@Beckafett I'm truly sorry for your loss but I just want to say you sound lovely - I'm sure your Mum will feel cherished with all this love and care you're taking of her.

clpsmum · 01/12/2023 23:42

Can anyone else not get on the fossil site?

That's so kind of you and thank you, it's going to be a bit different this year but we are so lucky to have each other x

PlanBea · 01/12/2023 23:49

@Beckafett we're in the same boat this year, I usually get my mum one gift but as I'm the only one buying for her this year I've done a stocking, mostly of bargains from these threads but bits I know she'll like. It's been nice trying to pull some magic together at the end of a really shitty year, and have something to focus on. I hope you've found it equally positive x

grinchfest · 01/12/2023 23:49

Does anyone know of any good offers for the spicery?

Thanks in advance 🎄

bizzey · 01/12/2023 23:50

@Beckafett
So sorry for your loss.
The 1st Christmas is hard , especially as so recent.

My mum was 4 months after losing my dad when we had Christmas and a little present I did for her was an old photo of her and my dad when they were younger and had it framed.

My dad was quite disabled when he died ...and it was lovely to have a picture of them when he was standing with no aids or wheelchair and stuff.

Sorry if I am going down the wrong track 🌹
