Hiya everyone

Does anyone know a cheap website for ps3 games and dvds or blue rays?
Also I was lookin on the halfcost website and they have a designer coat very cheap I was unsure weather to buy it as I'm not sure if its a fake or not. Has anyone bought off there before? Are they good products? I hope so as eldest son needs a jacket for his christmas. Xxx

Asda direct do a bargain bit on there games its always worth keeping an eye on or have you tried play.com.

I have never bought a coat of there but have you checked m+m direct they usually have loads of bargains for clothes and we have never had a problem with there's.

Hiya everyone
Well I have sorted through all my Christmas pressies and stared to put hampers together they are looking good. My vistaprint order has been shipped out 11 days early so really happy about that it should arrive before thurs will let u know. I ordered a couple of bits off the book directbargins website today just off the 99p offer page but good little things for hampers.

Someones def organised,
I also bought myself a light that clips to my book when I read on a night as the lamp keeps hubby awake.
They looked brilliant, got a couple ordered for xmas, hopefully be here this week

In all honestly most of the sites give or take are usually within the +/- £1.00 range, I usually go Amazon, Play.com, Tesco, Asda - there all free post. The other I check is cashback sites, know Play.com on Maximiles, think Quidco, Amazon on Nectar,

Also I was lookin on the halfcost website and they have a designer coat very cheap I was unsure weather to buy it as I'm not sure if its a fake or not. Has anyone bought off there before? Are they good products? I hope so as eldest son needs a jacket for his christmas. Xxx

halfcost - ur get an absolute bargain, (don't get commission), but have been absolutely addicted to the site since I got recommended it about 2 yrs ago. The goods are brilliant, not fake, I know with the electrics they do graded - refurb or brand new, but you can go via the sticky on the top. The products are new, no fakes, generally there overstocks - from catalogues - Studio Cards, Ace Cards, Betterware - I do a wack of my xmas / bday shopping from there.

Clothes I've brought man u clothes, designer dressing gown, pjs etc for friends boys, and some stuff for my daughter, I'd love the clothes for me, but I'm built for comfort not speed!! so too small. All 100% perfect stock.

If you havn't placed the order yet, and your order is less than £100 (they discount at £100), once your in processes your order, theres an empty box that you can put promotion codes in, if you put FF15 it takes 15% off your order.

The stock usually gets added on a Friday, they keep u informed via email, once order recieved, processed at warehouse, being delievered usually 10 to 14 days - sometimes sooner, but would highly recommend them, xx

I would think that the stuff from Halfcost is ok as they are an offshoot of Studio.

Cherries
Aldi have Morello cherries in syrup for 89p a jar, (found it on xmas foodie thread), the lady was going to decant them and put in smaller jars – add armetto – brain just clicked in could add cherry brandy, cherry wine, brandy, or even a splash or 2 of vodka.... also thinking of baby jars – perfect size – and could be used for icecream topping, or just pudding.

A couple of freebies today, add to xmas prezzies. Had bottle of wine from the site as an apology for all the inconvience we’ve had, and took dd to the slots, had 20p on bingo and won, prizes weren’t brilliant, for 1 win, but found a lovely diary with pen set, looks blue leather at a distance. Come in very useful for xmas.

I got a few parcels today......a load of make-up and bits from Magic makeup.....closing down sale £11 for about 15 items!
Package from Argos on Ebay - Pony in my pocket set reduced to £3.99.
My shiny new sewing machine - a xmas pressie from DH to me. I have tested it out on a sock monkey tonight - works a treat.
A lovely leather jewellery box I treated myself to from Very with a £15 off code - cost £0!!

Not much left to get for xmas....a few bits....then onto the food!!!

Hi all can I join, trying to start buying bits now rather than have a big rush at xmas. So far I have got

Slippers and Tinkerbell doll (on offer in Mr T) for neice
PJ's for dd2 for hamper
Personalised dressing gowns for dd1 and ds1
Hot choc sachets for hamper
Playdough (sp?) ice cream factory for dd1 and ds1 to share

In my family we don't buy for adults (ends up getting ridiculous) so have to buy for dd1, ds1, dd2, neice and partner so not doing too bad.
