I am going through a similar baker ross addiction myself atm.... it's all Roisin's fault....

sweetheart · 28/09/2004 14:51

I have added it to my fav's because of Roisin - have to say I have resisted the temptation to order anything just yet - but I am waiting to be paid

roisin · 28/09/2004 14:51

Sorry

I just placed my order today, and I'm really cross as I STILL haven't got a copy of the catalogue, so once that finally arrives I'll want to place ANOTHER order for all those things I didn't come across on their lousy website.

I qualified for the musical reindeer, but only just; I thought was quite restrained.

AuntyQuated · 28/09/2004 14:52

my order is still lying on the kitchen bench!!

Miaou · 28/09/2004 14:53

Don't worry Roisin, only teasing...you are actually saving me a fortune

roisin · 28/09/2004 14:57

AQ - get it in! Offer open (website only?) on orders placed before 30 Sep, which I guess means you've got today or tomorrow.

(Or are you going to be the only one to be really restrained and not spend more than £50 anyway?)

roisin · 28/09/2004 15:00

Just to get my own back ... I blame Twink, who introduced me to Baker Ross (via mumsnet) 2.5 yrs ago.

Thankyou Twink

I'm getting a free reindeer, too and I hadn't even heard of them till the thread the other week!
How long do they usually take for deliveries? I ordered 10 days ago and I'm still waiting for my parcel.

Skate · 28/09/2004 15:15

I've never heard of it till I came on here and have been meaning to order a brochure - however, just embarking on an economy drive before house move and enormous mortgage so maybe not a good idea?

Mind you, I like the idea of the kids making Xmas cards - is it good stuff?

SoupDragon · 28/09/2004 15:51

I've done that before and them when the box arrived it was enormous! I looked at it and thought "WTF have I ordered?" closely followed by "How am I going to hide this from DH?"

Twinkie · 28/09/2004 15:56

Ooohhh just ordered som estuff for DD to make her own cards - little angels and Santas and Reindeers - yippee she will love it and only spent 28 quid - great thing for me to hide and then do when I am on maternity leave with her!!

roisin · 28/09/2004 15:56

Allegra - this is the busiest time of year for them, but the standard delivery should still be within 10 working days. If it's been that long, I would contact them. Their customer service is good.

(Last time I ordered it was an urgent delivery, and they messed up the quantities ... first time I've ever had a problem with them. The missing items were with me next day, and they included some extra stuff, and sent a credit note as well )

sis · 28/09/2004 20:21

I ordered on the 8th or 9th September and it arrived yesterday so it is taking some time at the moment. The mini glitter pompoms are really cute!

Allegra · 28/09/2004 20:25

Thanks, I'll give them another day or two and then chase it up.

tamum · 29/09/2004 17:21

Mine arrived today, tra la la (festive singing). May I just recommend the Model Magic , laydeez? It's not cheap, but dd has spent all afternoon knocking up lovely little models with it. It's really light, and moulds very well.

roisin · 08/10/2004 18:44

My order arrived today - feeling all festive now. DS2 and I have been making sequin baubles Great fun!

They STILL haven't sent me a catalogue, and I've requested twice... I'll probably end up with half a dozen next week.

marthamoo · 08/10/2004 18:54

Oooh where's my catalogue? I must email them. Can't remember who told me about them but I know it was on MN

Oh. My. God. Want it all NOW. Baby is only 6 months old but I want the glittery pom poms and the halloween templates and the stick on gems. Already have the glitter shakers. Think husband is about to leave me.... What a magpie

binkie · 09/12/2004 14:52

Help!!

Father Christmas has a fixed idea that dd (aged 4) is going to have a bag of toy jewels in her stocking. Baker Ross have stick-on ones, but I think I'm meant to track down small-pebble-sized ones that can be Real Pirate Treasure.

I'm sure you lot know where to look? Please?

Roisin · 09/12/2004 14:59

What does she want to do with them?

\link{http://www.elc.co.uk/sku-107532/p1-KeywordSearch/p2-60/Product.do\beads from ELC} ...?!
In our house the only acceptable pirate treasure is chocolate money!

Roisin · 09/12/2004 14:59

And this reminds me I still never got my BR catalogue Sad

binkie · 09/12/2004 15:01

Just glory in the possession of beauty I think. (Girl thing presumably!)
