@CrochetMadRosie please don't worry. You posted in good faith and we all tried it - like everything on here, you win some and you lose some and it's not your fault at all.

Can anyone recommend:

not too expensive small gold hoop earrings. Tiny and dainty ones.

best places for bras that last that aren’t too expensive

DH doesn’t know it yet but that’s what he’s getting me for Xmas! 😂

CrochetMadRosie · 04/12/2023 17:08

Oh no!
That was me that mentioned them after seeing it on HUKD...
I've just checked and I've been refunded too. That's annoying!
Sorry everyone...Blush

Nooooo! Nothing to apologise for! It was lovely of you to post it in the first place 😊

@Igglepiggleandhisboat that made me LOL mine's getting me a bargain Fossil purse but he doesn't know it yet either.

PersonWithInternalGonads · 04/12/2023 17:35

Swizzells - refunded
Fossil - dispatched
Fahlo - deathly silence ....

I shall go to a different Lidl tomorrow and console myself with 20% off stollen if there's nothing else.

Same here for Swizzels and Fossil!

I am new to Quidco, but messaged them and they said there is no reason it won't track in 4 months, so I have taken the gamble. I just ordered three cards about £13.02, so fingers crossed.

RainbowZebraWarrior · 04/12/2023 17:43

I was going to order DD a Shark bracelet from Fahlo, but I don't think I'll bother due to what some of you are saying. I think I'll buy a bracelet from Amazon and do some kind of Adopt an animal type thing. Anyone got any recommendations?

Mama1980 · 04/12/2023 17:49

I know I am kinda late to the party this year but does anyone know where I can pick up a very good but bargainous heated throw please?

doistayordoigo · 04/12/2023 17:55

I've had despatch emails from both Swizzels & Fossil...did you all get cancellation emails only, or a despatch then cancellation?

I highly recommend solace jewellery for the earrings. They’re not ‘proper’ gold but are hypoallergenic metal that doesn’t tarnish and looks the same, no green ears, and therefore a reasonable price. Plus they do 20% off your first order if you order two items. I wear their every day hoops. They also come nicely packaged. I honestly love their stuff and must have half their catalogue by now 🙊

@oriel2013 I'm popping to Sainsburys in about 45 mins so I'll have a look. I'm
In mcr though so would have to post which I'm happy to do x
I'll report back x

BestofLuck · 04/12/2023 17:57

@Igglepiggleandhisboat there are some great sellers on Etsy selling the kind of earrings you may want. I like huggies type hoops that sit close to your lobes - there are lots on there with little…charms I guess you’d call them (?). I have lightening bolts and have asked for jellyfish for Christmas.

MadeForThis · 04/12/2023 18:04

Swizzles are cancelled.

Redskyatwhatever · 04/12/2023 18:09

My swizzles are cancelled to no despatch just refunded. My fossil order has been shipped

Lastminutebride · 04/12/2023 18:14

Posting again as just spotted the new thread.

Anyone point me in the right direction to get Mario kart for the switch please? It looks to be £40 in multiple shops but I can’t seem to find a discount for any stores that sell it.
think I might just have to pay full price mightn’t I.

JillyBoel22 · 04/12/2023 18:16

Just ordered some pyjamas from M&S - turns out the 10% off clothing plus the 20% from the sparks advent calendar both stack. So got a £15 pair of PJs for 10.80 and a £36 dressing gown for £25.92!

VeruccaSalty · 04/12/2023 18:24

Is 50% off middle aisle in Northerm Ireland lidl does anyone know, before I plunge out into the horrible night...

hby9628 · 04/12/2023 18:32

@oriel2013 there's 2 x age 10-11 in my Sainsburys if you want them? Other than that they've only got small size

TheCrow · 04/12/2023 18:33

@VeruccaSalty front of the brochure says excludes ROI and NI sorry
