    I've been Money Tipped!
    It is a good idea to be alone in a garden at dawn or dark so that all its shy presences may haunt you and possess you in a reverie of suspended thought.

    Free delivery codes anyone? :o
    TIA
  • omgooooodness!!! SO easy to get carried away BUT no popular sizes left in the shoes and things were disappearing out of my basket at an alarming rate!!! LOL

    Pity I missed out on a lovely 1 pound top I had in my basket but got some LOVELY household & baby items inc 60p shoes

    So worth a look folks ......... The wise got in there QUICK this morning!!!

    My DD said ''Mum , why weren't you on it first thing this morning?'' ( She knows what I'm like lol ) so I had to tell her unfortunately as is often the case with me ....''I only just noticed it a little while go!''

    Spent just under 25 quid including delivery so actually controlled myself & took stuff out of my basket - Don't forget TCB or Quidco as there don't seem to be any discount codes about!!
  • I went into store this morning and managed to get some black leather type boots for £3 and some loafer type shoes £2! Not very stylish but desperately needed for work so very happy!

    Also managed to get a couple of bits for the home discounted! A big fireplace type mirror was £25 down to £12.50 but had a chip in frame so asked manager and she reduced to £7.50!!! Well happy! Plus a lamp that was £20 but that had a scratch so got it knocked down to a FIVER!!!! I've never asked for things to be discounted before but seen how much people on here save so thought I'd give it a go!! Amazed how simple it was and the lady didn't seem to mind at all!!!

    Thanks op for heads up about the sale!!

  • You did well Anna! .... Its worth being bold and asking but not being bolshy and insistent ;)

    I think if you have a pleasant attitude to the staff and they happen to be a nice member then you can get some pleasant surprises for asking!!

    I felt really cheeky asking but made a joke of it and the manager really didn't mind at all! If she hadn't knocked anything off they were still bargains but even better with added discounts!!

  • Filled up the cart with £30's worth of goods, and almost completed the sale before I realized I don't need anything I was going to buy.
    Had an internal argument before clicking off the site!

    Some really nice and excellently priced goods on there!

  • I live near a Matalan Clearance store, so might have to wait until the bargains reach there...

    There's an Olympics code on the site that gives you 20% off, but you can't combine it with any other offer. I think I found it by clicking the first link on this thread.

    Here it is.
