@diamondsandrose I’m holding out for black Friday. Hoping for a half price Harrods calendar to go with my liberty one.

Btw popped to Bicester village this morning. They had l’occitane calendars for £39.

ShortSilence · 31/10/2020 13:42

Has anyone got the Liberty men’s calendar?

I am a woman but it’s kind of calling to me. There are a few things I’d donate to DP or DS, and that would make me feel benevolent and practical Halo

Oddly, I've got a JL account but it won't let me put the beauty box in my basket. I would have bought some creed aftershave. Never mind, there will be other offers

Pomegranatespompom · 31/10/2020 14:34

@MotherofTerriers have you got the code ?

TeatimeAtCloppa · 31/10/2020 14:37

John Lewis is being so annoying. They won't let me put the box in either and still the website keeps booting me off. I've contacted Customer Service so we will see what they say. Ah well, like you said Terriers there will be other offers.

I love looking through all the different Christmas Shops online. Oh to be a millionaire...

MotherofTerriers · 31/10/2020 15:12

No code. Very odd cos I do have an account with them.

Pomegranatespompom · 31/10/2020 15:24

Sent you a pm

I've just ordered both on the back of this thread whispers I didn't even check to see what was in the free JL winter glow box before adding it with the JL advent as they both kept not showing in my basket Halloween Blush Talk about frantic excited purchasing Halloween Grin
I feel quite giddy with excitement. So much for not getting a spendy advent this year and thinking I'd be happy enough with my Boots No 7 one. Ha who was I trying to kid.

FlyingByTheSeatof · 31/10/2020 16:31

^ I sound like a crazy person Grin but I'm excited because there are loads of products I've been looking at trying for myself recently so for me they're a perfect combination. I did have brief 3 second glance at the glow box and the Eradikate, Sisley, EL ANR and Elemis sold it to me.

diamondsandrose · 31/10/2020 18:09

@FlyingByTheSeatof it's the Sisley rose mask that's calling me too
For £150 I could just buy it ( I think..?) but that would be far too sensible !

diamondsandrose · 31/10/2020 18:16

You need to add the code MYJLWINTERGLOW at checkout and it removes the £100 Smile

Housewife2010 · 31/10/2020 19:04

There's a great Elemis set coming out soon. I'm going to try and be strong with so many if the temptations and save myself for this one. uk.elemis.com/qvc-tsv-november?fbclid=IwAR3P7rVnB_uUMLBIX-gLAlW2bj_yy5H3Knh6neDSpypXgLINvk0ULc0WsF4

LizzieMacQueen · 31/10/2020 19:58

You incorrigible lot! I've bought the JL winter glow. £100 spent on mostly shower gel. We'll be the squeaky cleanest family of 2021.

Pomegranatespompom · 31/10/2020 20:07

I'm hoping to get the Elemis set too.

marveloustimeruiningeverything · 31/10/2020 20:30

Elemis is my favourite. Depending upon the size of the marine cream, I'm in! But which scent package to try... the new one sounds very nice. But so does the vanilla!

AnSionnachGlic · 31/10/2020 20:33

I'm starting my Birchbox calendar tomorrow....can't wait🤩. Then Feel Unique for December and Liberty for January! It's been a tough year😊

YellowBeryl1 · 31/10/2020 20:41

@LizzieMacQueen it will be a lovely treat Grin

Pomegranatespompom · 31/10/2020 20:56

@marveloustimeruiningeverything I think of getting the neroli - worth the risk at the price.

Pomegranatespompom · 31/10/2020 20:56

I’m feeling like more treats are needed after today’s announcement...

I should be starting my Lumene tomorrow but as there's still no sign of my LF shipping and Ryan is now ignoring me, I'd better not in case I end up with nothing for DecemberSad.

EatPrayYoga · 31/10/2020 21:32

So what's the latest Ochon They can't give you any update at all? Will they have spares to replace it if it's lost?

OchonAgusOchonO · 31/10/2020 21:44

It never shipped so it's not lost as such although the order may have fallen off their system or something.

On Monday, they got on to the warehouse to get them to push it. I was told an update on that would take up to 72 hours. Thursday came and went and no update.

On Thursday, someone else told me a customer support team was investigating and would be back to me within 24-48 hours. 48 hours have been and gone and no update.

I keep telling them I was told on 13/10 it would ship within 48 hours and nobody can tell me why it didn't. I'm afraid they've lost the order somewhere in the system. I end up back at square one with each person I speak to.

EatPrayYoga · 31/10/2020 21:51

Ochon Their customer service sounds awful. I really hope it makes it. Have you decided whether you're going to buy the Elle or another just in case?

AnSionnachGlic · 31/10/2020 21:54

Ochon, that must be so frustrating.....bottom line is you have paid for something that you haven't received. They better get it sorted or get a refund. This is first year that I got 3 calendars so starting early😄. My dh was looking at me when I bought my big Birchbox calendar up to my bedroom ! I'm justifying it by saying my 2 dds ( 18 and 20yrs) will get anything that I don't want so they are keeping close eye on proceedings! They are both at university but at home with lectures online( In Ireland) so it will be a welcome distraction for 3 of us🙂

EatPrayYoga · 31/10/2020 21:57

I'm now thinking I might get a third calendar if I come across something I like in the Black Friday sales let's face it, any sale
