Thread 3 - the one where things get serious

@Mumbythesea1 I am going to the canaries in November so if you’ve had no luck by then tag me on these threads before the 16th and remind me to look for you. I use my phone here so don’t always see DMs.

I'd recommend the regatta dryrobes. A little bit thinner than the original but they do the same job for half the price!!

Soothed a little by Starfish reassurances. Crossing my fingers.

Not a specific bargain, but the Monsoon clearance section is very good this year. They have lots of accessories that may make good stocking fillers- hair clips, gloves, notepad keyring, nail stickers etc. Many are around half price.

My m&s sparks card has 25% women’s, men’s and kids clothing as well as pyjamas, underwear and homeware! Worth checking the app

sorry for the long link… but these are great.

A little tip - Quidco have double cashback today. If anyone would like a referral I’ve put mine on the referrals thread.

If you have the Lidl app, check and see if you have a coupon for a free cleaning product. It includes airers so I got a free one yesterday, would have been a tenner!

sorry if already posted I am a 3rd thread behind - just bought this instead of wreath for grave - will save me going around florists / markets in december and good for charity too - my gran would have loved this

I think the above is a pretty good introduction to KBeauty skincare if you are new to it.

These are toasty and in the sale. I’ve never worn one when wet though as I use mine strictly for sitting outside.

Not sure if quoting is working but for @Wellwhatalovelyday a thing that I learned from this thread last year that blew my mind is that everything after the ? in a long link is unnecessary and you can just delete it and the link will still function. Apparently everything after the ? just describes the route you took to get there or something (you can tell I am not techy!)

Thank you! Looks like lots of home ware bits included: jar candles, storage boxes etc.

Dry Robes on sale at Mountain Warehouse, ACORN code is extra discount

600g of Lindt on Amazon subscribe and save is now £12.57

also I’m looking for any deals on cricut stickerpix print and cut (it’s the new mini sticker maker). I can’t find it for below £249 which is totally out of budget. Any help would be great as I have a chronically ill dd and would love to cheer her up at Christmas.🎄

I mean!!! Thanks for this. Super helpful.

They do taste like plain water! Biggest con ever. I think my dd used it once and thankfully I managed to sell on Vinted

Suggestions for presents for 4 year old boy who has everything he could ever ask for?
Struggling with my nephew. Reluctant to buy vouchers or experiences.

Vouchers and experiences are the obvious choice, but if you don’t fancy them what about consumables, pens, colouring books, stickers, , self drying clay. Would he care about a photo album? I know some 4 year olds who would love to see themselves as babies and with all their family and some who would wonder why you’ve bothered. Books would be my choice for mine, but again a lot of 4 year olds I know would be disappointed.

There are some lovely dry robes in the Passenger outlet and EXTRA20 gives an extra 20% outlet until 30/09. They have really nice fleeces, coats etc too

I can’t remember who was looking for Air Up bottles but I have three that have had barely any use and would be happy to post them out. The black is a little more marked but the blue ones are in pretty good shape. My DCs weren’t allowed them at their schools and have moved to metal ones now.

He may already have them - but our four year old loves playdoh and kinetic sand and you can get some great sets of them with different bits in.
Also things like stickers and felt pens and colouring or blank paper books.
Pritt stick and a magazine and scissors - I know you can’t do that - but could you get a box with pictures of Spiderman or someone on that has a lid and put things in he can use like pens, glue, paper, colouring, stickers, maybe a book and maybe some small pots of playdoh or kinetic sand ? The Works is good for bits like this or the stationery bit of Home Bargains / B&M. He could then use it through the year and also refill it.

@jaminsurrey my DC had little playsets when they were that age that I found in a charity shop and ended up being played with for years. They were a little wooden tray with coloured sand in and a miniature spade, bucket, beach chair etc. I can’t remember what they were called but will have a look online later and see if I can find them!
