Warning from Ialreadytoldyou - Loom bands and loom band charms from Asia have been tested and have been carrying a dangerous level of carcinogenics. It's quite worrying tbh, the report says it can get into the body through the skin when worn, especially if the wearer is sweating and also if anything is put in the mouth. Apparently you wouldn't know until the wearer has children and they have defects. article here

I'm going real life shopping again Saturday afternoon with DP child free They're having a sleepover at my parents so we have about 24 hours to sort out what we've got and what else we need. I'm desperate to have all presents bought by the end of the month!!!

H&M have free P&P until 17th November code 2885

[3pigsinblanketsandasausagerole]

Trying to hide today's delivered presents

Not much space left!

[3pigsinblanketsandasausagerole]

If you order from h&m around 17th they prob won't deliver by Christmas...


(bitter @ slow delivery)

[NorbertDentressangle]

I overheard someone on the school run this morning (wasn't one of you lot was it?!) talking about Xmas bedding and they mentioned Studio have some for £7.99.

I looked it up to do a link for you (my 2 are too old for it these days) and see that it can be personalised too!

here

[MadameJinglealltheway]

Hello, long term lurker here
just wanted to pop in and thank you all so much for all the bargains and of course Reastie for these amazing threads.

[3pigsinblanketsandasausagerole]

The studio bedding is lovely

The 28 days delivery is not

[Elvish]

Honestly, you go away to microwave some soup and the thread ends!

For Take and Play there are 2 types of connectors, but you can get these adapters which join the 2. Again eBay is your friend and as long as you have these to join any old to new you'll be ok.

[NorbertDentressangle]

Oh no 3pigs, I didn't realise they took that long as bad as H&M.

Buy them for next year maybe

[dandelionsRflowers]

I've followed these threads for the last few years now, they've helped so much and feel like home from June September. I just thought I'd say keep checking the original post as sometimes there's something you might have missed or might have not thought you needed when it was first posted. Reastie it's much appreciated!

Thanks so much for these threads, they are amazing.. But honestly, I've spend more than I normally would because there's so many bargins!!


Anyone know what they are doing for stocking fillers for men? :/

I have this morning added up the presents for the dc. three columns-the price I paid, the rrp then the difference. I then added together the savings of each of the three dc and for all gifts I have paid £304 less than the recommended retail price. am happy with that .
