Just for those waiting with baited breath what the thread title was due to be —ahem no one will be— it was going to be ‘Thread 15 - I Wang One of Those’ courtesy of @ClosedAuraOpenMind

Whoever was looking for slippers for their DH (sorry - can’t remember who it was) - I bought my DH Mahabis a few years ago when he was ill and spending a lot of time in hospital and at home. 2 1/2 years on and he still loves them and wears them daily. Says he wouldn’t have anything else now. They aren’t bargainous but he reckons well worth the money for the use he’s getting out of them. If you could find a bargain it would def be worth it.

@Bicnod
@Tooner

You both mentioned the Xbox One which will be in Lidl - just to make you aware (as I think lots of parents not very clued up on consoles won't realise this) that the one they are selling is the Xbox One S DIGITAL ONLY 1TB version.

It has no disc drive. That means you can only download games off the Xbox store which is usually always RRP unless a sale (so you can't take advantage of good deals on boxed copies). 1TB isn't really very much memory when you have to download the whole game (boxed copies have most of the game running from the disc). I'm not sure if the digital version can be supplemented with a hard drive (but if it can that may add to the cost eventually).

This may be okay with you..or whoever it is for. Just making you aware in case that affects anyone's decision!

Has anybody received their Hype lucky dips? I received mine today and DS already has the backpack (typical - one of about 5 Hype things he owns) if anybody would like to swap for something?

It’s a Spongebob Sammy one. DS loves it but obviously doesn’t want exactly the same one.

Thanks to whoever posted about Typo - I’ve had a few things in my bag for a while so was pleased to get a bit of money off.

Fitness tracker for kids, can someone please remind me the recommendation for kids? With link if you're feeling generous 😀 From the last thread I think. I thought I'd saved it, but not 😐

@BunnyBerries good point and something to look into Bicnod. It does support an external usb hard drive for extra storage and I think if you take out a monthly game pass which is great, there are always offers on that,it doesn't clog up your hard drive.

Bicnod...good luck to Grandad if you decide to go for it.😊

I have received the Hype men's lucky diptoday. I am really impressed. It contained 2 bags plain green and blue and yellow speckled, boxers, socks, bumbag, toy story t-shirt, white t-shirt, shorts, very pastel coloured hoody, running jacket. Not sure if ds will wear half of it but well worth the money. Anyone else?

@Restlessinthenorth I bought my DP some Hugo boss slippers from Country Attire which are in the sale and I used a 15% off code (non generic) which bought them down from around £90 to £55. You’re welcome to PM me for the code to see if it works for you.
