argh, can't believe I missed the new thread by 13 minutes! Sorry - our WiFi supplier stuff changed today so the WiFi wasn't working (no phone reception here 😬)and I've just got the new box to finally work. I was getting the no-WiFi sweats!

Sorry @Reastie 🫣🫣🫣 I really hope I haven't trodden on any toes. Wanted to be helpful! You've built a strong community here, all helping to keep things flowing 💪🏼

Glad you got the WiFi up and running.

Thank you @lemoncurdcupcake
Glad the WiFi is back up @Reastie

Dare I ask what "arsing a Costco member" means? :D

@TautouRose it relates to this post on last thread by @dippyduck1 😉

Costco have some lovely Korean skincare in at the moment for great prices if you arse a member. Prices are a little cheaper in-store than online. Example I got the Dokdo Toner for £14.38 for the 2 x 200 plus 1 x 100ml

Thank you to the PP on the last thread that mentioned the Tu 20% off - new school trousers for DS ordered plus new Xmas PJs for DS and DD in a size larger than last year so we can all match again!

For clarification @TautouRose you don't have to be an arse to be a costco member 😂

Thanks to @lemoncurdcupcake and @Reastie

Hi @StockingsByTheFire - you can get in-store and online membership (£42 or £84) if you are affiliated with any of the professions here

If you don't qualify from that list - you can get online only membership for £42 https://www.costco.co.uk/membership .

The savings are great - you could easily get back the cost of membership in savings.

I just saw this newly published Suzie Dent thriller on a very big discount for a hardback

Might be a good present for people who like murder mysteries or interesting words! I love Suzie Dent, might well buy these ☺️

(The first one in the series is cheap too in paperback)

I got my Starfish jewellery order yesterday and I am delighted, beautiful packaging too. So don't give up if you are still waiting.

Just want to say a huge thanks to the poster re the prime robo vac deal. Victor the robovac has much improved my life. Wondering how he will cope with the mayhem of Christmas morning!

Mentioned on the last thread, but I just went to use the Amazon Now voucher to order various cold and flu essentials from my sick bed. Said I had £10 off first shop of £20 or more. Then when I got to checkout, the voucher doubled. So got a £23 haul for £3 (including oranges, soup and cough medicine).🤧 If you have the sane voucher, might be a great way to put away some Christmas food cupboard bits or choccies.

@mumonthehill I'm a little late joining this year! What robo did you get? I’ve just ordered the eufy x10 and awaiting collection. Praying it’s amazing 🙏🏻

Can I can please how the Amazon now vouchers work? How do you get one!

When I went into Amazon Now, there was a banner at the top saying £20 off my next three shops of more than £20 (to be split £10, £5 and £5). I added £20 worth of goods to basket to get the £10 off, but it automatically deducted £20.

@Arregaithel where is the issey miyake on offer please?

@CinnamonCoffee we got roborock q10 it was £99 and so far so good although we have no kids around anymore or pets but it keeps on top of it.

I also took a punt on the jeans so will see what they are like!

Yay for the new thread! Loads of my orders have arrived today and it looks like Christmas has come early 😅
I fear my husband might ban me from Mumsnet but then he'd have to sort presents so probably wouldn't dare.
@mumonthehill I'm so glad you're as pleased with your q10 as I am with mine. My husband named ours Suck Norris 🙄
