The free del code is automatic if you spend over £10, the code shows on the The Works website. I managed to get both codes to work and went via tcb

I too went through TCB but no free delivery for me under £20 so I had to top up with the £1 Collins dictionary, although they have several £1 erotic novels, ladies!
If you don't want a book then the best thing to do is arrange all offers in low-to-high price order.

Ordered on Sunday just before 4pm. It was delivered in the afternoon on the weds, after 1 I'd say.

There's a code for free delivery if your order is over £10, which is what everyone has been using in conjunction with the MSE blagged code. It's on the 'the works' website as a banner, and has been linked various times over this thread, even in the OP. Or has that code stopped working?

Did you order at full price? I'm only asking that as you said you topped up with a £1 item.

Thanks for swift reply Gold Dust and apologies for not reading the thread properly. This is because I only spotted the Grabbit 15 minutes before the end of my library session and you're now making me wonder if I did order at full price in my rush! Is it too late to cancel and reorder? I do remember it saying I needed to spend an extra 1p

What is good about halogen oven in comparison to traditional oven ??
My understanding, they are using more energy as some part of energy will be wasted as light.

I found this article .....

http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/features/how-i-fell-in-love-with-halogen-ovens-2098619.html

"* Halogen ovens use infrared technology to cook food up to 60 per cent faster than conventional ovens. As well as being energy efficient, they don’t give the hot and cold spots you get with microwaves. They also create food that tastes as though it’s been cooked, but in an oven, and with a microwave’s speed."

This is nothing compared to the large volume of heated but unoccupied space in a conventional electric oven.

Jeepers, what're you doing in a library at 11pm? yes, you probably did order at full price and yes, it probably is too late seeing as it is out of stock! You have three options now: 1. To cancel and hope that it comes back in stock, 2. To hope it comes back in stock before your order has been dispatched then quickly cancel and reorder, and 3. Decide whether £19.99 is bargain enough and just keep it.

Or you could just return it if it is dispatched and reorder if it comes back in stock. Again, risk of losing it at £19.99 (but it retails on Amazon for £24.99 anyway).

I got a dispatch confirmation on Monday, btw.

It's about a fifth of the size, which is a good start if you aren't cooking a huge numbers of items at the same time.

I think we are confusing each other, and probably other people too! My session finished at 6.20, which doesn't really explain why I asked for delivery info later in the evening without reading the whole thread first. When I spotted it I edited out the request, but this happened at the same time you were answering it!
I believe you must have thought the minimum £20 for free delivery was after discounts had been subtracted, but my confirmation shows this is not so. Not expecting much from TCB but it did no harm going through them. They are offering 21% BTW, but not sure if this is VAT excluded.
One snippet of info I can offer the board though is that they'll deliver to a different address to the one your card is registered at.

I've had a halogen oven for over three years, and hardly use my conventional oven anymore. I reckon my annual electricity bill dropped £120 i.e. by £10 a month.:D
