Thread 14 - the one where we track our Fahlo turtles while snuggling under our heated blankets

[FireflyGirl]

Holding thread for @Reastie

See the second post on Thread 13 for the usual information.

Shall I do some sensitive image photos on here with a big warning ?

Sounds good. I’m excited after my Glossybox haul today, I need to see what I’m missing 😁

Oh no I've missed the fahlo bracelets at £9 they're back up to £15 now 😓

No.7 via boots are doing a free face and eye palette when you buy two products so I bought two nail varnishes for £2.97 each that were on offer. £5.94 for all of it 😊

Thanks for the new thread.

I have an Argos code (£5 off £40) that expires tonight. PM me if you need it. Thought I was going to use it but didn't

I'd love your Argos code if you don't need it! Have sent you a PM x

Done. :)

Re Turkish Delight....
I know this is of no help to a lot of people ( 😅) but at London Bridge station there was a big stand /display/stall of lots of different flavours of Turkey Delight.

I managed to resist very easily (🤮🤢)....

But the massive Hotel Chocolate shop on the other hand ... 🥰!

Glossy box update:

5 boxes arrived today - I got 5 different mystery boxes. When initially opening it does look like I have 3 of one type and two of another but the contents in all 5 boxes are different.

A bit of a convoluted one but potentially a bargain.. I followed a Facebook ad link for 6 issues of gardeners world for £12, I also opened a window through quidco which had the same offer but for £20 with £4.50 cashback for all subscriptions. Checked out through the cheaper one and cashback tracked okay. Obviously might not get confirmed but might be an extra good bargain (else a good price anyway!)

Hi,

There were some lovely boxes of face masks in my local TK Maxx today, and Bath bombs, etc. which would be suitable for tweens @PantsToItAll - also some adorable Korean animal hair wraps and masks sets for £5.99 - I believe large yellow ears were involved! (I almost succumbed myself!)

There were also lots of large and small soft toys and squishees @WimbyAce

Could you share a pic of the contents please? Trying to figure out if my nieces would like them

@MammaGnomes of course. Excuse the little fingers ready to pounce and claim some products for themselves.

@fishfingersandchipsagain thanks - love that idea!

This unicorn was actually much bigger than it looks in this picture - £19.99 in TKmaxx. It was the size of a toddler at least!

They also had lots of other soft toys that were cheaper and much smaller.

So cute @Passthecoffee ! Thanks for sharing- looks like a good haul. Was this the £16.99 deal?

It was the £25 deal and then shipping is £5.00 so £30 in total. I have £5.00 cash back pending in TCB as well.

I see - thanks @Passthecoffee - a good deal!

Ooh that's a fantastic gift!

Was this in store please?

Pretty Little Party Shop

Has anyone used the above website? Was it genuine please?

I have some helium left from DC birthday so was going to buy a couple of Xmas balloons and this website seems good.

Irritated** I've just checked the app and it's on there. That's if you have the patience to put yourself through the app experience

Just catching up with the new thread. I am almost done, I now have a spare room full of stuff to wrap 😬.

It’s been much harder to find bargains this year and I have had to buy some things at full price.

Waitrose usually have nice Turkish delight. We bought some from a Christmas market last year, it was shockingly expensive, was only looking and before I knew it the lady was filling up a box for me, it was the best Turkish delight I have eaten 😁. It’s also pretty easy to make and I have made a few different flavours.

Squishmallows in Home Bargains, £4.99 for small Christmas ones, £12.99 for medium and £15 for big ones but they only had this grey one in ours

Also big Stanley cup dupes for £4.99
